Ask HN: How do you generate ideas?
When I have time for myself, I find myself thinking about the same things often in a loop. I will try to think about or solve problems that I have failed to solve before, without any new inputs or a different approach.
There are some things which seem to break this cycle which include:
1) reading books of any kind where I&#x27;m introduced to a different way of thinking
2) stress-free vacation where ideas seem to come like a waterfall
3) Important changes in my life which seem to break the routine and give space for new thoughts.<p>What are your tricks to get into a state of producing new ideas? To clarify, I don&#x27;t only mean ideas meant to increase your productivity but also ideas about how the world works, understanding yourself, new ways to have fun and so on.
