When you are brain storming what should be careful to avoid?

1. Getting stuck on the first idea. It is easy to get stuck on the first idea that comes to mind, but this is not always the best idea. It is important to generate as many ideas as possible before evaluating them.

2. Being afraid to be wrong. No one wants to be wrong, but it is important to be open to new ideas and perspectives. The best brainstorming sessions are the ones where people feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, even if they are not sure if they are right.

3. Focusing on quantity over quality. It is important to generate a lot of ideas, but it is also important to make sure that the ideas are relevant to the problem you are trying to solve. It is better to have a few great ideas than a lot of mediocre ideas.

4. Not listening to others. It is important to listen to what others have to say, even if you do not agree with them. You might hear something that sparks a new idea or helps you to see the problem from a different perspective.

5. Getting sidetracked. It is easy to get sidetracked when you are brainstorming, but it is important to stay focused on the problem you are trying to solve. If you do get sidetracked, try to bring the discussion back to the original topic.
