Killing an Idea

Funny, and a bit poignant, post over at Berkun Blog.

Last week in the creative thinking course I’m teaching at UW, we spent time listing idea killers. Statements we’ve heard, or used, that stop ideas in their tracks. Have any to add?

My faves:

• Not in our budget
• Not an interesting problem
• We don’t have time

As a creative, I have heard these and more. I may post a few of the ones we have heard lately if I can find a few moments this evening.
