@dawson.diy: How to stop your writer’s block in 8 minutes! Sometimes when I sit down to “come up with an idea” I’ll just sit there and stare at a blank page with no idea what to do next. OR I’ll immediately start drawing out an idea, spend way too much time exploring it, and get discouraged later on when I realize it’s not going to work. That’s where #crazy8s come in!

This #designthinking activity can help kickstart your brainstorming session by forcing you to get your brain moving, think quickly, and even get some of those bad ideas out of your system LOL

Here is how it works:
 1. Fold a piece of paper into 8 sections 2. Set a timer for 1 minute 3. Draw/Sketch/Write out an idea in the first box on your page. 4. As soon as the timer is done, reset the timer and move onto the next box. It will feel… crazy … fast, because it is! The whole point is to keep your brain moving and spitting out ideas, even if they aren’t fully formed or not perfect solutions. 5. Repeat in all 8 sections. By the end of your 8 minutes you will have 8 new ideas! Not all the ideas will be worth pursuing (aka some of them will be bad lol) but chances are they will be a couple on that page that are worth pursuing or looking into further. Try it out, it only takes 8 min right?! #design #writersblock #creativeblock #DIY
