How do you get your best ideas?

How do you get your best ideas? Do you have a process for unlocking the creative side of your brain?

For me, it’s a combination of space to think + inspiration.

Here are some things I do to come up with new ideas:

To create space to think

1. Meditate
2. Go for a walk
3. Get a massage
4. Have 8 hours sleep
5. Clear your schedule
6. Take a holiday
7. Treat yourself
8. Mindmap at a cafe (on paper)
9. Don’t drink

For inspiration

1. Listen to podcasts
2. Surround yourself with active people
3. Read Kindle books
4. Listen to Audible books
5. Attend a webinar
6. Exercise hard
7. Read autobiographies
8. Take courses

What about you? What’s your approach?
