The Crazy Eights tool is a fast-paced brainstorming exercise designed to unleash creativity by challenging you to generate 8 ideas in 8 minutes.
This technique prioritizes quantity over quality, encouraging quick thinking and preventing the filtering out of "bad ideas." It's an excellent way to push boundaries and explore a wide range of possibilities. The rapid pace keeps you on your toes and fosters an environment where wild, unconventional ideas can emerge and thrive.
How to use Crazy eights:
Set a timer for 8 minutes.
Sketch or write down one idea per section, spending no more than 1 minute on each.
After the exercise, review and discuss the ideas to identify potential solutions worth exploring further.
