No matter how clever you are, you can always get more insight by talking to someone else. That person doesn’t have to be especially clever or inventive themselves, either! They just have to be willing to chat with you about whatever problem you’re trying to solve.
Our ideas thrive and grow when used and tested. The more you can throw them out there and get someone’s thoughts on them, even random ones, the more your own creative process is triggered. New ideas and concepts explode like fractals when they touch the surface of your own mind, which can grow still and stagnant when thinking about one thing too long.
If you’re struggling with something, just chat it out to almost anyone. A random stranger in a coffee shop can be the catalyst you need.
