Talk about granite
Talk about granite
That’s exactly what I wrote in my notebook during an blog post ideas brain dump.
I know nothing about granite.
Contrary to what you all might be thinking, I didn’t write Talk about granite because I intended on writing a blog post all about granite.
I wrote Talk about granite because during a brain dump, you let go of any judgement. You let an idea tumble out regardless of how stupid it sounds.
Most people, in crafting ideas for blog posts, would laugh at their brains for suggesting granite as a subject matter. Then they’d move on and try to think of more ideas. Smarter ideas. Ideas which don’t involve igneous rocks.
But in doing that, you’re telling your brain its ideas aren’t valued. You’re telling your brain that its previous idea wasn’t even worth a couple of horizontal inches on a blank page.
How do you expect it to instantly recover from that? You’ve just demoralised it. Compressed its worth. The ideas don’t flow as easily after you do that.
Bad ideas are simply a fog in front of good ideas. If you write your bad ideas down, and get them out of your head, then the fog will clear and the good ideas, the actionable ideas, will shine through.
If your thoughts are internally judged and never allowed to escape, they’ll block the way for everything in line behind them.
Terrible ideas make way for great ideas, always. Nothing is ever born perfect.
Lose the internal judgement. Allow everything to escape.
Anyone still want to talk about granite?
