The 90-Minute Plan

Prime with input0–15 min

Read, listen, observe. Creativity requires raw material. Expose yourself to diverse ideas.

Brainstorm without judgment15–35 min

Quantity over quality. Write everything. No critiquing. Criticism kills creativity in the moment.

Combine unexpected elements35–55 min

Take two unrelated ideas. Force connections. Mashups often reveal novel solutions.

Use constraints creatively55–75 min

Limitations paradoxically boost creativity. 'Create using only 3 colors' sparks innovation.

Iterate and refine75–90 min

First idea rarely best. Generate 10 ideas. Develop top 3. Polish best. Quantity enables quality.

Pro Tip

Creative insights often come after work stops; subconscious processes solutions overnight.
