Random Words Association

LESSON 6: Random Words Association

From my understanding on the notes, the random word methond is an effective way on helping us creating new ideas by allowing us to enter our existing thinking pattern at a different point.


Using this method is easy. Just find a word and associate it with another word. Then create new ideas by linking these associations. This method as you can see, almost any word enables you to generate new ideas. This method also helps you to think out of the box.
