Time and Time and Space and Space are necessary for high quality creativity : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb5oIIPO62g

and working with solid principles, from first principles, is how you reach durable new understandings. IMO.

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People has some great material about the use of principles in being personally creative.

I serve as a creativity coach to builders, innovators, and founders. Sometimes what a thinker needs more than anything else is a BREAK to BATHE! and then... EUREKA! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eureka_(word)

You need inspiration somewhere.

Many people read hundreds of ideas before generating their own high quality ideas.

The best part is you don’t need to read high quality ideas to generate one.

You can read any idea. Even lame ones would inspire you.

The imagination in the idea will allow you to come up with higher quality ideas.

If you read a lame idea, it’s your opportunity here to make it a better idea.

If you want to read different business ideas, i’ve collected some in a nice ebook.
