Brainstorming Techniques - Keyword

[This is the first in a series of techniques to be published]

1. Keyword Technique

 

  • To begin KEYWORD brainstorming, place the subject keyword at the top of a sheet of paper.

  • Make sure that you are not going to be disturbed, and set yourself a time limit.

  • Then start to write down all of your ideas that the start word prompts you.

  • Just focus on the start word, not being judgmental on 'what's coming out'.

  • Only write key words. Just enough to be able to trigger the thought in the future.

  • Write as fast as you can.

  • Write in a list form, not worrying about spelling, word choice, etc.

  • Get as many ideas on paper as quickly as possible.

 

You can take this further by choosing a fresh keyword from this list to start a fresh list,
allowing yourself to get deeper into the subject.

You can also set yourself a minimum number of responses to come up with.
The first few will be easy, but the last will really make you think!

Example of how a KEY-WORD brainstorming page may look like:

Relaxation

 

relax
smile
rest
laugh
open
free
joy
joke
breathe
breath
heart

aromatherapy
massage
therapy
yoga
