Ideation studio

One real problem, four ways to break its frame.

The gym trains the muscles; the studio is where you point them at something. Draw a constraint, a what-if or an analogy, keep whatever it shakes loose, and it all lands on the same board.

The problem, in your own words (the warm-up page can reframe it first)

constraint

Deliberate limitation

Draw a card.

what-if

Counterfactual

Draw a card.

analogy

Forced analogy

Draw a card.

walk & talk

Ten minutes on your feet

Walking reliably produces more ideas than sitting still — and the boost lingers for a while after you sit back down. Carry one prompt with you, then write up whatever turned up. This site can't tell whether you actually went outside, and it doesn't try.

Press the button for a prompt.

10:00

ready

What arrived while you were moving

Capture an idea

What did the card shake loose? Which card was in front of you? (optional — labels the idea)

The board

Nothing yet.

Ideas are saved to your account the moment you add them, so a dropped connection won't lose a thought and the same board is there on your laptop or your phone.
