What do you do to generate your highest quality ideas? For a long time, I've been writing daily with the intention of gaining perspective on myself and my life. Gaining direction to move forward with, and generally integrating knowledge from various sources into my understanding. In the past, I've often spent hours each day going about this pondering and sorting through my mind to gain clarity. What I'm realizing recently, is that although this process feels quite enjoyable to me, it's not necessarily the best use of my time. When AI is capable of generating dozens of high quality ideas in seconds, and it takes me a couple hours to get to the juicy part of my speculations, the opportunity cost of this practice is quite high. Moving forward, I think I'll be leveraging AI to stand on the shoulders of giants, instead of rebuilding the wheel for myself each day. So I'm interested, how do you reflect on your inner workings? What have you learned about yourself recently? How do you generate interesting/new ideas? Keep thinking outside the box!
