In 2018 PWN published a note saying that the Youth Word of the Year is 'vase'. It was the unquestioned winner. The use of that word was increasing rapidly in social media and television. The photos on Facebook were presenting all different varieties of vase: ceramic, porcelain and many others.
If I wanted to point out one word, that is the winner, not just one year’s but of the last ten years, I would point out a word Innovation. It can be found in many academic’s and scientific areas, but its definition is still being mistaken with other words like progress for example. It shows how attractive the word Innovation is.
Innovation requires some sorts of results. Recently, a new profession, the Broker of Innovation has been created. Within its duties we can find commercialization of scientific studies within the Higher Education, that involves selling the innovation developed on a particular university. The question is how one can become the Broker of Innovation and how to increase the success of the creation process?
In order to do so, we should focus on our own experiences. Steve Jobs once said that the best innovators are the people who focus more on their own experiences than the other. Also, the producers and movie directors, in their work they look into their own personal experiences and the past in order to create characters that we can compare ourselves to.
The overwhelming stress shall be treated as the mean to enable us to accomplish new things. Panic forces us to look for new solutions, and the fear forces us to stay cautious and tuned for the new ideas.
What are the other occasions when creative people come up with new great ideas?
What are the other occasions when creative people come up with new great ideas?
1. Give an example, in which you came up with a great idea? Describe it briefly.
2. Do you think you are a procrastinator and why?
3. What would be the one advise that you would give Adam Grant, in order for him to learn how to procrastinate and delay the writing of the next chapter of his book?

I had an idea of app that allows to find each other at parties or big crowds. Sometimes you loose so much time or you don't find with each other after loosing someone and my idea was to create an app specified to events that allows people to find each other easily
2. Do you think I am a procrastinator and why?
No I don't think so :) As I can see, you are the first person putting article this week.
3. What would be the one advise that you would give Adam Grant, in order for him to learn how to procrastinate and delay the writing of the next chapter of his book?
Go to the party, get exhausted and spend whole next day staying in bed doing absolutely nothing
2. Do you think you are a procrastinator and why?
Yes, I am definitely a procrastinator, because I postpone practically every task or duty that I will be given (of course, taking into account very personal tasks, job is another matter). I don't like doing everything at once, I prefer to laze around a bit and think, maybe in the meantime something will come to my mind. Despite putting off time, I always manage to do everything on time, which is why procrastination doesn't negatively affect my life.
3. I think the best way to postpone something, in this case writing a book, is to completely take care of something else. A good solution here is to delve into some new universe, be it a book, a game or a serial. While exploring new worlds, at the back of your head you can have thoughts of your new chapter all the time, it may happen that through this type of procrastination you will get new ideas and develop your imagination.
2. Hahaha, yes thanks. Certainly, it can mean that I'm not a procastinator. In this question I made a mistake and it was about you :)
3. Hmm, this description reminds me of a student life. According to my presentation, this may suggest that students are most likely to discover something wonderful.
2. It is good that you are aware of it and it does not negatively affect your results in life.
3. I strongly agree with you that delaying can help us to get new ideas and develop imagination. I wonder if you would recommend books related to this topic or totally inverse.
1. I don't recall having a brilliant idea, so I can't answer that question.
2. I think sometimes I'm a procrastinator because I like to delay some things in time. For example, when I have something to do on a given date, and this is not urgent, I usually do it in recent days.
3. I think I'm bad at persuading, but if I had to tell him something, I would simply say that we are impatient to publish the book and are curious about his ideas.
1. The great idea of mine would be how to run a pizza restaurant. It would be all about reducing costs of staff as there would be no kitchen and only delivery.
2. Yes, I am. I tend to delay everything until the very last moment. Why would we do english on monday, when you can do it on saturday on sunday :).
3. The only advise I can think of would be to simply do something else. It is reasy to procrastinate when you can do something different and entertaining.
2. Yes, I am a procrastinator when it comes to things that i don't want to do or I don't have the inspiration to do it my best way. Lately I'm trying to manage my time better so I don't have to worry about deadlines but I think people tend to work more efficient under a big pressure.
3. Do something else completely not connected to writing, maybe even try to forget about the chapter.
:) I think, if it's a brilliant idea it's better not to share in any "public" place before publish it real. TMO tho
2. Do you think you are a procrastinator and why?
Yeap, bc I can't manage my time very well.
3. What would be the one advise that you would give Adam Grant, in order for him to learn how to procrastinate and delay the writing of the next chapter of his book?
Don't waste your time helping others. Learn how to say no.
2. I am definitely a procrastinator. This is unfortunately not a good feature. I know that I should get on with some issues right now but, usually I leave them and do at the last minute
3.I think that in this case the best would be to find another hobby, some alternatives to writing a book. Sport can be a very good solution here.
2. Yes, this behavior definitely indicates that you are procrastinating. Don't worry, the article says it's good.
3. Hmm, that's an interesting answer: You have to persuade Adam not to write a book there fast, however, you want to tell him that you can't wait with reading his book? Extremely interesting theory. It seems to me that it may not work :(
2. Yes, I have the same. Unfortunately, this often fails to do what it takes on time.
3. It will definitely help. Just what exactly he should do. Maybe some netflix show? or joining a gardener's club?
2. I strongly agree with you. People work better under time pressure and are able to achieve more ... unless now it is over time: /
3. It's a good solution. But how do you forget about the chapter? Maybe buying presents? It takes me too much time.
2. Try to read Adam's book. It can contain a lot of interviews or tips on how to manage your time well.
3. Adam has no problem with speech no. He's just not a procrastiner and would like to start being. Try watching the movie again and answer the question.
2. Procrastination is not bad. Adam strives for her and cannot become one. This has its good side.
3. Sport is a great solution. Especially since he can do it with a friend, which will be an additional motivation.
