A Problem Solving Technique |
Imaginary friends can be a real help when its time to solve problems.
Sometimes we're at our most creative when interacting with others. We sit talking to friends and each feeds off the other's ideas. Plus, a discussion can really clarify things. But what about when you're alone, or don't want to share your ideas yet? How can you stimulate creativity and find elegant solutions to problems?

All the ideas they come up with are yours, of course, but you'll notice right away that what one imaginary person says will be very different from what another says. That's the whole point - these other voices are other ways for your imagination to produce good ideas.
