Generate Ideas First, Criticize Later — Never Do Both at Once

Creation and evaluation use different mental modes. When you judge ideas as you produce them, you kill the weak-but-promising ones before they can grow. The best approach is to separate the two stages: first, generate freely without filtering. Then, switch to critical mode and evaluate. This applies to writing, brainstorming, problem-solving — any creative work. Let the garden grow first, then prune.
The point
Separate creation from evaluation — judging too early kills promising ideas.
