Cheat Notes for Chapter 7:
100 MPH Thinking

• 100 MPH Thinking combines two fundamental principles of
creative thinking: quantity and speed.

• When exploring new ideas, aim for quantity; the quality will
emerge. Aiming for quality alone is very difficult.

• When you come up with 10, 20, or 50 ideas, you’re allowed to
fail 9, 19, or 49 times, yet still succeed.

• Speed gives you momentum of thought, silences the judge, and
circumvents fear.

• But mostly, speed gets you to the large number of ideas quicker.

• Get over the desire for perfection; it can’t be achieved.

• The secret of 100 MPH Thinking is to not think too hard; just
generate ideas.
