I agree with you that using this list is kind of like a mental exercise for ourselves. Even just using it for random occurrences in our daily life can help us to jolt our brain juices! :D Hey Keith! :D Thanks a lot for sharing your story with your tutor :D She definitely sounds like a very smart person!

I'm going to save it as a note in my BlackBerry so I always have access to it. The first thought I had when reading through the list is that I can use these as simple mental exercises anytime my brain is free! I had a tutor when I was young who always emphasized reading something and then stopping and asking questions about it, whether they be to my teacher, someone else, or just to myself. Then she taught me to look for the answers and come up with my own if I didn't find one. Practicing this question asking all the time got me good at asking relevant and useful questions, and then coming up with answers got me good at that too. It occurred to me that if I start just practicing these techniques during all my mental spare time, I'll also become really good at using them and they'll become as automatic as what my tutor taught me! The thought of that is really exciting to me!! :D I love this list! I’m going to save it as a note in my BlackBerry so I always have access to it.

Thanks for the stumble! :D Middle Way@ No problem, let me know the results you get with them and whether they are helpful to you! ;) nutuba@ I'm glad you find the list helpful! :D Dragos@ I'm a big fan of brainstorming as well too! It's as equally important as executing of the idea, and I feel brainstorming is often neglected unfortunately. Armen@ Thanks so much for your suggestion :D Variable brainstorming sounds like it'll be a great idea itself too! In a way it's similar to #22 Exaggeration (Shrink it) which is about looking at a smaller aspect of the goal. Tina@ Hey Tina! :D Yeah, I've actually only seen 2-3 generic brainstorming methods applied in real life, such as brain writing, group brainstorming, SWOT. It's good to write this post, brainstorming about methods to brainstorm to open up new ideas :D reds@ Welcome reds, and thanks for your comment! :D Glad you love it and see you around! :) Arswino@ Hey Arswino, welcome! :D No problem, glad you like them ;) Jay@ Thanks, the time travel idea is one of my favorites too!

I can't wait to do the brain writing one with a group of people. These are all great ideas and not ones I've thought of or heard of before. In my writing classes in college they always had you make lists when brain storming. The ideas here not only can be applied to my writing but every day life. Great job! Wow this is great.
