It’s interesting how much you can learn by talking to another person. Most of the time we consider thinking to be an individual activity, and a matter of fact, it usually is. However, when we discuss or share our thought process with another person we begin to tap into a creative side we may never have noticed in the past.

The best thing about talking out an idea is the sort of adrenaline rush you get as you travel from epiphany to epiphany. As thoughts roll off your tongue, your partner spouts out his/her ideas inline with what you had just said. If you don’t like what they say, just voice your opinion. Thus the idea evolves into something of a collective nature. It takes new shape under the influence of both of your minds.

This is usually how I have this type of thing happen… I will talk to a friend about something that we both find appealing or exciting. Just as either of us states our idea, the other will chime in with something that I would never have thought of. As the idea progresses, it picks up speed. This continues until the idea seems fully formed between the two us.

Now this is not a strict or easily observable occurrence. That very well might be why the ideas stream along so easily.

Conclusion

Lately I have been trying to apply my method for documenting these ideas in order to keep track of them as well as I do my own ideas.
