Idea Catchers

Take a long drive going nowhere.
Dare yourself until you scare yourself.
Make your own face book of self-portraits.
Collect scraps, ephemera, odds and ends to brew a creative stew.
Mind-map a problem or a pipe dream.
Roam outside your range... explore quarks, reincartions, Louis IV, Louise Brown movies, Siberian nomads, Jungian archetypes.
Don't leave home without a blank page.
Turn off streaming video/tune in to stream-of-consciousness.
Make something with your hands to give your left brain a rest.
Go shopping when you're stuck.
Be a list maker... of memorable meals, what you've lost, all things blue, the best days of your life.
Ignore nay-sayers and they-sayers.
Free associate.
Hang out with outsiders.
Hit mute more often.
Be open to Enlightenment in the driveway, Astonishment at your desk, Inspiration at the supermarket.
Work til it hurts.
