When was the last time you came up with a brilliant idea, seemingly out of nowhere?

If you’re an ambitious, creative thinker, like me, you would love to be able to do this consistently. What if I told you there is a way to strategically come up with new and exciting ideas, would you put forth the effort?

Linus Bille has developed “The Ideation Equation“ to share his discovery of a neuro–natural path to become better at coming up with new and exciting ideas.

To prepare for “The Ideation Equation,” a lot of us will need to unlearn old ways of thinking that may be keeping us stuck in a box.

It Starts With Exploration

One of the main long-term activities that you could start with, is learning many different random things.

What does Linus mean by this?

Exploring different topics can help the brain’s ability to connect things.

I love the analogy of our minds being like a forest and every time we learn something new it’s like planting a new tree.

But be mindful of planting trees close together, because our brains will tend to try to find shortcuts to preserve energy and may not give us the best possible answers in a given situation.
