BrainStorming Doesn't Work!

This article is extremely fascinating!

It is amazing how many different approaches there are based around creating ideas. So many are are so different and yet there is always proof that they all work.
What I learned from this article is that creativity is not something that can be forced. It can't be formed and molded by a specific process all the time. Ideas can be generated, and solutions can be reached using these forced guidelines, but that doesn't mean it was the ideal approach or it reached the best solution at the end.
I have always found that the best interactions I have had in life with other people have been created holistically. I truly enjoy an organic life and feel that the best ideas, the most fun activities, and most productive time is spent when it's not done forcefully; and now this article helps me prove that a bit more.
