    Agreed; the guys with lower skill level will find a lot of value in step-by-step plans. The guys with high skill level will generally only extract value from ideation.

    tonyfoale - I've had Dr. Tony McCaffrey's book Overcome Any Obstacle to Creativity on my list for a while now, but it's competing with a tall stack of books. If your primary interest is in the spark of an idea, you might want to give it a look. McCaffrey's work is all about overcoming functional fixedness to fuel ideation. Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/Overcome-Obst.../dp/1475834632
    When I was in college we used to play a mental game that works to negate the effects of functional fixedness.

    The object of the game was to propose an "object" that was completely useless. The other players were to come up with a legitimate use. [Certain universal uses, such as door stop or paper weight were not admissible.] The first one to do so got a point. First person to get three points was declared the winner of that round. Prizes for winners usually involved some form of alcohol.
