Reducing rather than adding can lead to creative breakthroughs.
Instead of overloading choice, prune ideas to help convey meaning. They tend to think that the more they add to a particular venture or product or service, the better. More features—sure that will add to the creative element of the offering! More options? Yes, please! That will add choice, which will lead to better outcomes.
Instead of overloading choice, prune ideas to help convey meaning.. They tend to think that the more they add to a particular venture or product or service, the better. More features—sure that will add to the creative element of the offering! More options? Yes, please! That will add choice, which will lead to better outcomes. We tend to associate more with being better., introduced into the mainstream the suggestion that the more options we have, the less satisfied we feel with our decisions. This tends to occur because having too many options is tiring and leads to fatigue of choice. We need to process each choice individually, and that takes time and effort. It is a cognitive load on our brains. Finally, because of this choice overload, we pick something, and we are generally not all that happy with our choice. Regret slips in, doubt too, and soon we wonder if we made the right choice. If you doubt any of this, try spending some time searching for a product online. The plethora of options will soon tire even the bravest of souls., which uncovered fascinating results when displaying jam in a grocery store. They found that if a display case held 24 different flavors of jam , the display attracted visitors, yet only converted 3 percent of the people drawn to the display into buyers. Then, after reducing the 24 types to just 6 types of jam, they found that the display attracted fewer customers but ended up leading to a sale 30 percent of the time. Less choice is equal to more sales. In our quest to be more creative, taking away choice and limiting bureaucracy can be some of the most powerful things we can do. In those cases where we cannot limit choice, differentiating the options as easily and intuitively as possible can lead to great results. The next time you have a chance to prune away ideas and focus them instead, you may discover that missing boost in your creativity.Misuraca R, Nixon AE, Miceli S, Di Stefano G, Scaffidi Abbate C.
