Massively underrated creativity tip:

Start an idea incubator

Keep a running list of half-baked ideas and review it monthly

Time adds perspective and fills in the blanks

My second-favorite definition of creativity.

'If you only have one idea, it's not a great candidate for a 'test and learn' approach.' -- design leader who spoke to me on the condition of anonymity
