Experiment freely from "summary" of A Whack on the Side of the Head by Roger von Oech

Experimentation is a crucial element in the creative process. It involves trying out different ideas, approaches, and methods without fear of failure. When you experiment freely, you give yourself the freedom to explore new possibilities and push the boundaries of what is known and accepted. By letting go of preconceived notions and expectations, you open yourself up to new insights and discoveries. The key to experimentation is to be open-minded and curious. Instead of sticking to the tried and true, be willing to step out of your comfort zone and try things that may seem unconventional or even risky. This willingness to take risks is what sets innovators and creative thinkers apart from the rest. They are not afraid to fail, because they see failure as a necessary step on the path to success. Experimentation also requires a willingness to play and have fun. When you approach your work with a sense of playfulness and curiosity, you are more likely to come up with creative solutions and breakthrough ideas. Play allows you to let go of inhibitions and tap into your imagination and intuition. It encourages you to think outside the box and explore new possibilities. In order to experiment freely, it is important to create a supportive environment that encourages creativity and innovation. Surround yourself with people who support and challenge you, and who are willing to offer feedback and encouragement. Seek out new experiences and perspectives, and be open to learning from others. By embracing diversity and difference, you can expand your thinking and generate new ideas.
  1. Experimentation is about taking risks, being open to new possibilities, and embracing the unknown. It is about pushing the boundaries of what is known and exploring the uncharted territories of creativity. By experimenting freely, you can unlock your full creative potential and discover new ways of thinking and being. So go ahead, take that leap of faith, and see where your experiments take you.
