Summarize the following:
When you're ready to consider new projects or new approaches to current goals, set aside some time 90 minutes, two hours, whatever you can spare and use the entire time for thinking. Using the whole time to think helps you come up with approaches and strategies you might not have thought of before, because we tend to come up with one or two good ideas and think "that's it! I'm ready!" Forcing yourself to think longer helps you go places your brain wouldn't ordinarily go. Try to do your thinking in different settings. For example, you could go for a walk or visit a new coffee shop. Being in a different setting may help your brain to identify different possibilities than you would in your usual environment. It's easy to think "small" in your life, because it's easy to feel obligated to be practical or realistic about your dreams or goals. Thinking big requires you to move beyond thinking realistically and toward what might seem improbable or even impossible. For example, say you like to write. A realistic way of thinking about that might be to say that you want to write something every day. That's a realistic goal and a realistic way of thinking about your love of writing. Entertaining the impossible means taking what you normally think you can do with your writing even further. Imagine what it would be like to see your book on a shelf at your favorite bookstore maybe even in a fancy display. Imagine seeing your name and your book's title at the top of the New York Times Bestseller list. This is the easiest way to think big. You can also do this by creating a vision board. Get a piece of poster board and use pictures and words from a magazine to represent your goals. Then, place the board somewhere you will see it often to help remind you of your goals. Thinking big means thinking in ways that are beyond what you normally do, so naturally you'll have to step outside of your comfort zone. While you're thinking about new projects or approaches, let yourself feel a little uncomfortable. If you're not a little scared of what you're coming up with, you're not thinking big enough. For example, if you have a speech project for school, but want to think big about it, consider giving a style of speech you're not usually comfortable with. Instead of reading directly from your paper, work from just a few bullet points and make it sound less formal. You could consider adding music or visuals to increase interest in your speech.
Schedule thinking time. Entertain the impossible. Step outside your comfort zone.
