Mindstorming brings your goals and problems to life.

How to Mindstorm

To understand how to Mindstorm, consider reviewing previous content on the 10-Goal method and the Superconscious mind.

Then, get a blank sheet of paper and on the top write your most important goal at the top in the form of a question.

Applying the Mindstorming Method

Using an example from the 10-Goal blog, consider:

“How can I have 4 weeks of vacation away from home per year?”

Below this question, write down a minimum of 20 answers. Allow these to flow from you without editing them. No answers are bad, they are all part of the process. When you start listing solutions some will come quickly and easily. Then you will get stuck. But persist. Keep writing, regardless of how ludicrous. Often people experience the most impactful and transformative ideas in the last two or three answers.

Once you have 20 answers, review these with an open but critical mind. Select the one or more that you think would have the most positive impact on your quest to achieve the goal. Then, put that one to action.

Mindstorming for Problem-Solving

The Mindstorming Method can also be applied to problem solving. Write the problem at the top, and all the possible answers.

Once you know this works, this can become another tool in your toolbox to implement regularly.
