in this video I'm going to tell you
about brainstorming I've worked on a lot
of different like projects and many
at a corporate level when I had a
corporate job and then I've worked on my
own projects over the last few years and
um you know what I'm a recovering
perfectionist so I used to really want
to have things you know perfect to be
redundant one of the things to be just
right
and a lot of times especially like
someone with a technical or engineering
background like myself it's like you
don't want to like commit anything to
paper you don't want to like make a
wrong decision but when you think about
brainstorming and that's sort of
perfectionist mindset and they don't
work together and a lot of times when
you're trying to come up with some like
new ideas brainstorming is really what
you need to do and it's very important
that the filter while you're
brainstorming so anyway I use a couple
you know simple easy tools and that's
what I'm going to show you in this video
so let's head over there now I was
making some coffee doing a little
brainstorming down here I was just going
to show you sort of the process but I'm
trying to brainstorm come up with some
ideas and prepare for like YouTube
videos or even blog posts so let me get
some coffee and then I'll explain what's
happening
okay so it's pretty easy to see what we
have going on here you can also tell
that I'm just working in my kitchen on
the countertop and what we have is no
cards just sort of at a high level so
forming a mastermind group earning a
mastermind meeting my favorite SEO tools
the thousand day which is by the
tropical NBA next we have why not do you
drop shipping and then business ideas
and the deal is as a brainstorming I'll
just write down the main idea on the
note card and I do this in various ways
the note cards aren't super important I
just happen to want to try and work this
way instead of sitting in front of the
computer right these are sort of like
the titles or the headlines of what
we're working on and then after I get
those out so those are the main you know
six cards that are out here right there
after I have that I grab you know
post-it notes here again and then I just
write sort of like an outline of how it
would work you could do this on an app
right so I used to use an app quite a
bit called workflowy and it's an outline
and it sort of helps you get out of the
way of like tools and stuff and just use
an outlining sequence right use an
outlining tool and this is sort of the
same way you don't want to go too too
deep and I just sort of lightly outlined
how I can guide the discussion there's a
couple like main points I think it's
pretty well summarized but basically I
need to go and do some research before I
get into it this is just a great way to
outline content it's super cold outside
today you can hardly see but it's either
1 or 0 degrees maybe negative and the
wind is blowing really hard so it's
super cold that's why I'm sort of still
bundled up in here I just came inside so
content it used to be a big problem for
me because I would try to write a
paragraph or write something and I would
try to make it perfect as I was going on
so what would happen is I would write
the first sentence and go back and
change the first couple words and then
write the second sentence and as I kept
going it was just moving so slow so I
would write half a page or so and it
would take me you know two hours but for
me it's much better to like get the
ideas
my head and that I could evaluate and
process them later so writing out these
ideas on note cards and post-it notes it
limits your space if you're using a
marker you can't write that many details
it's just helpful to get out the main
ideas and then go back and add the
details in fact I know that quite a few
people when they're like coming up with
an idea for a book they'll go back
they'll add more details and they'll
edit along the way after they get the
ideas out the problem especially for
someone like me if I try and edit before
I'm writing things down it's sort of
like stifles my brain activity if that
makes sense like I can't come up with as
many ideas if I'm like going in a slow
pace so if I could speed up a little bit
get the ideas out and I did all like all
these post-it notes and stuff in like
eight minutes or so it was super fast I
was writing as fast as I could and it's
pretty much a guy I just need to go back
and get more information now what could
I do to improve it now if I would have
done the research ahead of time and just
had like say three post-it notes with
the main ideas from the thousand day
rule well then I wouldn't have to go and
do research so the ideal way to do it is
have your inputs and your research done
ahead of time and then when you're
outlining and brainstorming and you
don't have to go back and find other
material and that sort of thing but I
did pretty well in this specific case
five out of six that's not too bad you
have any questions let me know in the
comments and here's the question of the
day how do you do your outlining do you
put things out to use note cards like
this do you enjoy working analog with
paper and pencil let me know in the
comments below be sure to check out the
comments too because some of the best
suggestions and ideas are from the niche

it looks out there
