Book 5 the ideas you haven't tried yet 

See possibilities, solve problems, create something new.

Welcome 

Every day you see things that could be different , a slow process , a boring experience , a problem nobody has solved properly, something that could be easier , something that could be more enjoyable, Most people notice these things and move on. But sometimes an idea begins with a simple thought ( there has to be another way) this book is about thought, you don't need to be a genius to have a good ideas , you need curiosity , observation , imagination and the courage to experiment.

Let begin

Chapter 1 ideas hide inside problems

A problem can be frustrating , but a problem can also contain an opportunity, imagine people constantly losing their keys , someone might create a better way to find them , people struggle to organize their notes, someone might create a better system , a business doesn't always begin with: ( I want to start a business ) sometimes it begins with (why is this so difficult ?) . Pay attention to the things that annoys people , waste time , cost too much, or make simple task unnecessary complicated. 

These observation can become ideas 

Mindra experiment 

Notice. What problem  did you see today ?

Question: why does it happen ? 

Imagine: what could make it easier?

Chapter 2  ordinary things can become interesting 

Look around you, your phone , your school , your neighborhood , a shop , a taxi rank, a kitchen , a conversation an every day routine. Ask your self (how could this work differently ?) creativity isn't always about inventing  something nobody has ever seen, sometimes it about taking something familiar and making it more useful.

A small improvement can still be a real idea .

Mindra experiment 

Choose one ordinary object near you

What could I add 

What could I remove  

What could I change 

Chapter 3 your first idea doesn't have to be brilliant

 People sometimes reject their own ideas too quickly they think that stupid : then the idea disappear don't judge an idea immediately , write it down first you can improve it later, a rough idea is easier to work with than an idea that only exist in your head. Keep a place for your thought

Your note app can become an idea box. One day an idea that seemed unimportant  might connect with other idea and become something useful. 

Mindra experiment 

Write down five ideas today 

Don't rate them 

Don't delete them 

Just capture them 

Chapter 4 combine two things 

A surprising number of ideas come From combining existing things 

Music+ video 

Book+ technology 

Food + delivery 

Maps+ navigation 

Ask your self ( what happens if I put this two ideas together ?)  

You don't always need to invent something completely new 

You can create a new experience by combining familiar pieces, that one reason curiosity matter. The more things you learn about, the more pieces you have available to combine. 

Mindra experiment 

Choose two unrelated things 

Put them together 

Then ask 

Could this combination solve a problem ?

Chapter 5 Ask better questions

Sometimes creativity isn't about having more answers , it about asking better questions 

Instead of ( how can make this cheaper?"

Try( what part of this cost the most "'? ) 

Instead of ( how can I make people use this ) 

Try(why aren't people using it ? )

Instead of (how do I build this ?) 

Try(do people actually need this ?) 

A better question can change the direction of an entire project 

Mindra experiment

Take one problem you're interested In 

Write five questions about it 

Look at the problem From different angles 

Chapter 6 Build a tiny vision 

An idea can feel exciting when it in your head, but reality gives you a better information, 

You don't always need a huge launch, build a tiny vision, if you want to create a website make one page , if you want to create an app start with one useful feature, if you want to write a book, write one chapter, if you want to create a product make a simple prototype.

The goal of a first version isn't perfection 

It learning 

Mindra experiment 

Choose one idea 

Ask 

What is the smallest version I could make ? 

Them.    Make that version 

Chapter 7 let people try it 

Your idea may make perfect sense to you, but other people may experience it differently

Let someone try what you've created 

Then watch 

Where do they get confused 

What do they enjoy 

What do they ignore 

What question do they ask 

Their reaction can teach you things you couldn't discovere by thinking alone.

Don't treat every opinion as a command 

Look for useful pattern 

Mindra 

Ask 

What would you change 

Listen before explaining your ideas 

Chapter 8 failed experiments still teach you 

Sometimes an idea doesn't work. That normal. Maybe nobody wants it, maybe it too complicated,maybe it cost too much to make ,maybe the timing is wrong , maybe the problem wasn't important enough. That information has value 

Instead of saying ( my idea failed )

Try asking ( what did the experiment reveal ?) 

Them decide whether to improve the idea, change direction or move on

Not every idea deserves to survive. 

That part of creating

Mindra experiment 

Think of something you tried that didn't work 

Write three things it taught you 

Chapter 9 Protect your curiosity 

As people grow older they sometimes stop asking questions.

They become used to the way things are, but curiosity can keep your mind active. 

Ask why 

Ask what if 

Ask how 

Explore subjects you don't normally study, learn from different people 

Try unfamiliar activities when they safe and appropriate 

You never know which piece of knowledge will connect with an idea later 

Curiosity gives your imagination more material to work with 

Mindra experiment 

Choose something you know almost nothing about 

Spend 20 minutes learning about it 

Write down one surprising thing you discovered 

Chapter 10 Make something real 

An idea sitting in your mote book can't can't help anyone 

At some point you have to give it a form, a page , a drawing , a website, a video , a prototype , a story, a project,

It doesn't need to be perfect, it needs to exist 

Once something exist you can improve it 

You can show it to people 

You can learn from it 

You can change it 

That when am idea becomes more than a thought 

It becomes something you can work with
