It’s time to clean up: your mind, your home, your hallways.
What junk do you have? The answer to that is your starting place.
Now think of what you could create out of that junk that has a realistic purpose, that you could possibly sell or market?
If you thought deeply about these questions. You will realize that the list of items you thought were junk in the first question got longer when you thought about the second question. Suddenly the metal figurine you have has become “junk” because you could combine it with the putty you have in your drawer.
This takes recycling to an entirely new level.
New ideas, I would argue, are just the result of reorganized or modified junk ideas. It’s incredible what happens when you consider more items or thoughts to be junk status. Being handed a box of 6 odd objects (junk) and told to create something worthy out of them is much more difficult to do if you were handed a box of 60 odd objects (more junk) and told to create something worthy from them.
Maybe it’s not junk, but no one tweaks with treasure, do they? Keep in mind, believing that something is a treasure limits what you have to work with in your box of junk.
