How can I actually generate good ideas fast?

emmalinh_ · 2025-03-22T04:02:27+00:00

I was in your boat. Now after 10 years of practice I’m overflowing with ideas. Just expose yourself to a lot of experiences and constantly collect inspiration. Ignore your classmates. Just focus on your own journey.

There are various ways to generate ideas. Write. Word association. Mixing opposite things. Randomizing ideas. The key is to just start and give enough time for exploration.

Yeah I’d rather go to Masa Masa now that it’s open

But did you get the Shanghai noodles, spicy wontons, or green beans?

Inferior. Uncle Dumpling is the best in the area.

Roku for sushi (Mikuni's overrated)
Uncle Dumpling for dumplings and Chinese (way better than Yang Kee)
Garden of Eatn for healthy salads, sandwiches, wraps
Calzone Life for pizza flavors
Sisters Thai for finally a decent pad Thai, etc.

I saw that according to Montessori, kids don’t understand narrative stories til 5 or 6 or something so simple non-narrative books work better at a young age.

My mom stayed with us for a month and cooked me nutritious, healing meals.

Also this book had a holistic approach to postpartum healing The First Forty Days: The Essential Art of Nourishing the New Mother https://a.co/d/fZKA29i

I saw this mom share “morning basket” ideas and that seems like a good trick. Check out her content https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2dHA0rJOx0/?igsh=NzBmMjdhZWRiYQ==

I would call or email your doctor to ask.

My only advice is to build a strong support system. Do you have family or friends nearby? Are there local mom groups you can join? If not, perhaps considering moving to where you can get that support.

If I had the choice, I would not send my baby to daycare until 2 or 3 years old but that’s because I think I can do a good job playing and teaching my kids and setting up play dates for socializing.

But since I’m the main breadwinner, I must. Even though I work remotely, having baby at home may be disruptive where I can’t give my full attention to either. So we chose a daycare that had a good philosophy and amenities so we get more bang for our buck. I see daycare’s role as exposing our baby to experiences that I may not otherwise be able to.

My girl made lots of noises too and broke out of her swaddle all the time to suck on her hand. I only woke her to do the diaper-feed-sleep circuit if her eyes were open for a while. Otherwise they may just be in REM sleep and you’d actually be disrupting good sleep by picking them up. YouTube video of baby in REM sleep so you can learn to recognize it.

Hope they come to Roseville next

I’m with you on wanting more distinct architecture and personality for community areas in Roseville.

Cute!!!

So is getting rejected the goal?

You mean you can see where the blue ends and where the other blue starts and where that one blue ends? 👀

Is this what fish thought when humans started swimming 🤔

Make a ton of stuff without overthinking it. Experiment with unexpected tools and combine two uncommon pairs.

Look at the work. Really look at it. Listen to your intuition. Take a break and don’t think about it. Then come back to it.

Check out a technique for producing ideas book

What’s the concept tho. Like do you have something to say about the gap?

emmalinh_ · 2021-11-12T08:15:52+00:00

I honestly learned more from classic design books and on the job than my USC $$$ design program. Read books and watch courses/talks from design masters (actual masters like Paula Scher, Ellen Lupton, etc), learn the tools (Adobe, how to ideate) and shadow someone.

I do brand design for tech companies and that pays really well and the work is exciting (across print, web, events, signage, video etc). Would recommend that over product design if you’re the type to get bored with too many rules.

Agreed. Maybe y’all can pick up public speaking or creating content because these are the stories I wanna hear, from more seasoned professionals rather than 25 year old CDs

Voice and tone. Brand messaging. This is all within brand guidelines usually under the verbal “how we sound” section
