Generate ideas is a way of thinking and a special skill.

1) Ask questions: Idea people are curious people. They ask a lot of questions of others and especially of themselves.

2) Write Ideas Down: Creative people keep lists and notes. Leonardo Da Vinci’s notes were written in mirror writing and his notebooks also contained fascinating drawings.

3) Think associatively: I mean taking an idea in one context and joining it with another possibility or opportunity. Steve Jobs had a great ability to adapt computing technology to new practical uses.

4) Put ideas to the test. Innovators know the importance of experimentation. Testing is key to many advancements.
