Albert Einstein Mind

Albert Einstein's creative thinking epitomises most people's idea of genius. So it probably won't surprise you to learn that Einstein had specific creative thinking techniques that you can emulate to get creative breakthroughs in any field of endeavour. The primary creative mindset of Albert Einstein is that of possibility thinking. Basically this means giving yourself permission to think extraordinary things. Part of giving yourself permission to think in exceptional and creative ways is also giving yourself the opportunity to do so. Too many of us negate the work of thinking to odd moments in the shower, driving to work or chilling with a beer in the den. While all of these activities are perfectly worthwhile situations in which to experience creative flashes, you will do far better if you set aside time to deliberately pursue the creative breakthrough. Your Einstein Time
Decide to budget your time to allow for regular "thinking" work. How much time you devote to this will depend on your own particular situation, needs and commitment. There are certain fields of enquiry that will demand more of your time and focus to reach the breakthroughs that are "waiting" in that field. Albert Einstein's thinking on the subject of Quantum Physics obviously demanded more of his thinking time than someone who wants to think up a really creative idea for a birthday surprise. Get started by determining to set aside at least 20 minutes a day to concentrated possibility thinking and contemplation in the area of your particular interests.

Stretching Beyond The Known Albert Einstein is someone who asked questions and looked at things in ways that no one else had thought to do. Possibility thinking means exploring what is creatively possible, usually way beyond the boundaries of what you know. You need to keep pushing the envelope, testing and probing to breakthrough the boundaries of the tried and familliar. Albert Einstein devised a technique to do just that. It's called the thought experiment.
Thought Experiments On The Edge of Creativity
What is a thought experiment and what does it have to do with creative thinking? A thought experiment is an experiment that you do in your head. It is an experiment that you cannot, or do not intend to, carry out and it's purpose is to help you understand some aspect of the Universe that you live in. Einstein's classic thought experiment that helped him develop the Theory of Relativity was when he imagined what it would be like to ride on a beam of light. This was something that he could never do in reality but by imagining it his creative thinking was stimulated to the insights and understandings of how light and time functioned. From those imaginings came his world-famous theories in quantum physics.
