Habits of people with great ideas

This article is about how people who thought of great ideas go about their life to get these. The first thing is that they look for inspiration in unexpected places. It's easy to look into your own area of study to look at what other people have done. But sometimes inspiration can come from completely different areas of career. For instance car designers may get inspiration from furniture designers. Another thing is making slow decisions. If you rush yourself to think of everything, your mind probably won't think of much at all. Smart people pace themselves so they can have all their ideas form naturally. Another thing is that they find Internal Motivation. People best work when they're doing creative work for themselves, and not getting pushed by a company or something. It's important to do what you love, and not push other foreign things onto yourself. Another thing is starting from scratch. It's very easy to take an already cool thing and try to improve upon it. But what works better is going back to basics and pretending that thing doesn't exist, and ask yourself what would be the best version of this possible. Another thing is taking risks. It's easy to stick to what works, but sometimes new and different is so much better. If you get caught in doing the same thing, over and over then it can become formulaic. Another thing is finding connections between experiences. Often times, creativity comes from connecting different things together. A lot of the times creative people feel guilty when explaining how they came up with something, because they really just merged a few established things into a more convenient package. And the last thing is being open to magic. Sometimes ideas don't have to form but are just waiting to be made. It's all about conjuring them up to fit the standard of reality.
I thought this article was informative and very relatable. It can be really challenging to think of new ideas in today's competitive market, but It's all about thinking outside the box when it really comes down to it.
