Sisyphus and Innovation Acceleration

Don The Idea Guy

Innovation Acceleration could also be described as achieving Creative Velocity.
Even more simply stated:

The more #ideas you have, the faster you will have more ideas.

The hardest idea to come up with is the first one.
It’s the toughest to get out of your head, it’s the toughest to share with the world, it’s the toughest to put into action.

The second idea comes faster.
It’s also easier to share and easier to activate.  You’ve done it before. There’s a path. A faint one perhaps, but a path nonetheless. You can see depressions in the grass and broken branches and crunched leaves from where you walked through with your first idea.

The third and fourth ideas come even faster than the second one did.
You may even decide to share them as a set, or put both of them into action at the same time. This time you can avoid the poison ivy and you won’t trip on that tree root as you escort these ideas down your path acting as an expert guide.

Your speed at envisioning (and enacting) each successive idea from here on out will continue to double and triple in speed. You’ve achieved creative velocity and can continue to maintain this rate of acceleration as long as you continue to have (and act on) your ideas.

Once you get your ideas rolling in the right direction, it is easier to keep them going in that direction (and to pick up speed as you go.) Just ask Sisyphus — it’s easier to roll a boulder downhill than it is to roll a boulder uphill (and the same goes for ideas).

Hot Projects from Cool Friends

It’s like 91 degrees outside right now in Columbus, Ohio as I sit at my desk and work on this post. My Amazon Alexa sitting behind me on the shelf keeps pinging me with “Severe Weather” notifications because of local air quality alerts. This seems like the perfect time to share some of the hot […]
