"Come up with 10 ideas, until you feel your brain sweat"

-James Altucher

I have no problems with writing 10 ideas a day. But I'm starting to feel my brain sweat when it comes to drawing 10 ideas of something.

Not only am I developing my ability to think of something, but I'm also developing my conceptualizing ability!

It's easy to write 10 ideas for a new cellphone design. But it's difficult to draw what those design looks like.

This is what James Altucher is advocating. Exercise the idea muscle until it hurts.
I call it exercising the visual idea muscle until it hurts.

...even if the idea sounds or looks bad.

The Daily Dispatch: 10 ideas to illustrate

I'm drawing again, and boy, it sure is hard.

After all, I unintentionally killed my drawing habit with my writing habit.

Writing is easy for me now, so is coming up with daily 10 ideas.

But drawing? It's now a chore.

What better way to re-kindle my drawing habit by starting small, by combining what I've learned in life?

Small steps + 10 ideas + "I'm willing to make bad art" + "God, you take care of the quality, I'll take care of the quantity" + a habit subdues another habit + The daily dispatch + drawing = the daily 10 illustration ideas
