Every idea I have seems to be too closely related to a similar idea that I have experienced, and nothing from my brain feels very "fresh" anymore. I'm pretty sure this is just how thinking works, but is there a way I can trick myself into freshness? For example, ignoring some of my intuition?
the best strategy to approach this is to try to think of something you "should not" do. try to do something wrong. this will put you on the right path
