Trying new approaches

I’m currently trying to find ideas for blog posts and for YouTube videos (subscribe if you haven’t already). Normally I like to brainstorm as many different ideas as I can think of. I’ll put a timer on and just write down as many as I can in that time period. Afterwards I’ll go through and select the ones that seem both fun and worth making. Most of the time that’s a good amount.

But currently I’m going to try a new approach. I’m going to take a look at trends.google.com and see what common searches are. That way I can see what people are searching for, choose which ones seem interesting to me, and write those specific blog posts. I haven’t ever tried this approach before. So I figure it’s worth trying.

Sometimes I get stuck in doing things in the exact same way. But it can be useful to look for other methods outside of those accepted methods.
