Train that muscle

I write every day because its a workout for my “idea muscle”.

I use that “idea muscle” every day in my innovation work, artwork, and teamwork.

It means I can sit with a paper notebook and blast out good ideas any day I like.

This muscle would get weaker if I “generated” ideas instead of “had” ideas.

I don’t want that muscle to get weaker. So I don’t “generate” ideas.

The best part is, the ideas available to me aren’t median, “most likely to be accepted” ideas, like what an LLM will propose.

They can be reckless, wild and free, for right-sizing to an opportunity by my own hands and thoughts.

It’s not the first time I’ve recommended you write every day.

And it won’t be the last, either.

Train that muscle. It can be better, for you, than even the superintelligent computer in the cloud you may have been tempted by.
