Stoplease & Sensual
We have a launch in two weeks and I need a clear plan to keep the creative process moving efficiently. How do you structure your brainstorming to stay productive yet free?
First sketch a loose timeline—two weeks, so maybe a week for raw ideas, a week for refining. Every day, set a short 15‑minute “free‑flow” session: let your mind wander, jot everything, no judgment. Then a 30‑minute focused review: pick the sparks that fit the launch, group them by theme or urgency. Keep a shared board or notebook so the ideas stay visible and you can revisit them. After you narrow down the best concepts, give each one a small, realistic deadline—maybe a day or two—so you move from dreaming to doing without feeling rushed. Remember to breathe between sessions; a quick walk or a cup of tea can reset the creative rhythm. That way you keep the flow, meet the launch, and still let your imagination roam.
Plan: 14 days. Day 1‑7: mandatory ideation. Every morning 15 minutes no‑filter, write everything. Immediately after, 30 minutes evaluate against launch criteria, flag top 5. Those 5 are locked. Day 8‑14: one concept per day, deliverables set by end of day. Use a shared spreadsheet, no slack. Every afternoon 10‑minute check‑in: status, blockers. No room for vague ideas. If you’re not meeting the 1‑day delivery on day 9, cut the idea. Keep it fast, keep it focused.
