- Produce a great number of ideas
- Record all ideas
- Allow no criticism- focus on quality, not quanity
- When your out of ideas, force yourself to add three more- innovation and creativity come affter the apparent solutions have been exhausted
- Brainstorm in a group
- Let one idea give you another idea
- Include outrageous and off-the-wall ideas
- If you brainstorm alone, write continuously for another 5 minutes after you feel like your out of ideas
- Only after brainstorming, think through the ideas and begin narrowing the list
