發現偉大點子4步驟
The Hidden Steps Behind Breakthrough Success
別再因為沒有靈感而自責，創意不會憑空發生。相反地，你應該像考古學家一樣，透過探勘、劃分、挖掘、篩選，將它挖掘出來。
Stop blaming yourself for a lack of inspiration—creativity doesn't just appear out of thin air. Instead, unearth it like an archaeologist on a dig: through surveying, gridding, excavating, and sifting.

Step 1 探勘：找出正確的問題
SURVEYING: Identify the right problem
大多數人以為腦力激盪是創意的第一步，但這就像隨意挖掘。厲害的創意高手會先勘察地形，尋找有潛力的土地。為此，首先也最重要的是，找出正確的問題來解決。
Most people assume brainstorming is the first step of creativity, but that's like digging randomly. Skilled creators first survey their terrain and look for signs of promising ground. You do that by identifying the right problem to solve first and foremost.

Step 2 劃分：有系統地搜尋
GRIDDING: Search systematically
考古學家挖掘時，會用繩子將挖掘區域劃分成小塊，以便管理。同樣地，你也需要工具和系統，讓你的創意探索過程更有條理。首先，制定一個指引問題，做為探索方向的指南針。接著，在既有框架內思考，並從其他領域尋找靈感。
When archeologists dig, they set up lines of string to break everything down into manageable chunks. In a similar way, you need tools and systems that will make your search for ideas systematic. Form a guiding question to serve as a compass for your search. Then think inside the box and look for ideas from other fields.

Step 3 挖掘：發掘各種可能性
DIGGING: Unearth possibilities
此步驟的目標是盡可能挖掘出大量創意。大多數人總是太早停止創意發想。請把產生創意與挑選創意區分開來。尋找引人注目、富有啟發性，以及讓人有些不安的火花或剛萌芽的點子。
The aim at this step is to get as many ideas as possible out of the ground. Most people stop generating new ideas too early. Make the distinction between idea generation and idea selection. Look for those sparks or nascent ideas that are compelling, generative, and sometimes uncomfortable.

Step 4 篩選：挑選值得發展的創意
SIFTING: Choose ideas to pursue
最後一步是分析你的發現，想清楚哪些值得進一步發展。這需要深入分析和仔細審查，拋開主觀感受，專注從挫折中學習。
The final step is to analyze your discoveries and figure out which ones to pursue. This requires deep analysis and careful scrutiny, putting aside gut feelings, and an emphasis on learning from setbacks along the way.
