Even if you’re not Leonardo DaVinci or Albert Einstein, you can think like a genius. There are many ways to cultivate creativity and sharpen critical thinking skills. Allow your mind to fly and don’t judge your thoughts. Question what is generally considered right and try to deepen knowledge instead of merely memorizing it. Try to develop good habits, such as writing down ideas, keeping a balance between rest and work. Seize opportunities to learn, and don’t forget to fuel your brain and give it time to rest.
Steps
Creative thinking methods
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d9/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-1-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like- a-Genius-Step-1-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d9/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-1- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-1-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Let your mind fly and don’t judge your ideas. Set aside some time each day to let your mind wander. Brainstorm, daydream, or just relax and reflect on life. Don’t comment or judge your thoughts, no matter how silly they may seem – let your imagination run wild. [1] X Research Source
- Let’s say you’re thinking about a “cloud city” floating hundreds of meters in the air. Don’t rush to think of it as a myth and stop thinking. Imagine the details, such as how people lived up there, how the city got to be in the air, and how people got to the city from the ground. Who knows, you might come up with a great idea for a novel, or even a new technology!
- You can also listen to music while letting your imagination run wild. As long as the volume is not too loud, ambient sounds can stimulate your creativity. [2] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7e/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-2-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like- a-Genius-Step-2-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7e/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-2- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-2-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Think with critical thinking and skepticism about common sense. Great ideas sometimes go against what is supposed to be true, so think outside the box and open doors that others often overlook. Instead of blindly accepting something as fact, ask questions and process information with analytical thinking. [3] X Research Sources
- Blindly accepting something just because someone in power says it’s right is not a good way to learn. When you hear others say that something will forever be the truth, imagine the exceptions to the rule.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6f/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-3-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like- a-Genius-Step-3-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6f/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-3- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-3-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use charts and pictures to visualize the problem. Albert Einstein was famous for using images and thought experiments to solve problems. [4] X Research Sources When faced with an abstract problem or feel your thoughts are jumbled up, use visual aids to see the bigger picture. [5] X Research Sources
- Flowcharts, mind bubbles, Venn diagrams, and mind maps are great visual tools. They can help you organize information and point out connections between concepts that you may not have noticed.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/77/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-4-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like- a-Genius-Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/77/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-4- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-4-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Strive for creative awareness rather than simply memorizing. Psychologist Benjamin Bloom developed a framework called the Bloom Taxonomy, which divides it into six levels of thinking. This new version of the taxonomy covers multiple levels of awareness, from remembering information to creating something new. The bottom line is that you shouldn’t stop at simply recalling, but instead aim to use information to create something new. [6] X Research Sources
- Suppose you read a short story. You remember the details of the story, understand the plot, and speculate on why a character does a certain action. As you dig deeper, you might think about how you would act differently playing the character and appreciating the moral lesson of the story. At the deepest level, you’ll use what you’ve learned to create your own work, such as a song or poem that tells that story in a different way. [7] X Research Sources
Develop beneficial habits
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c6/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-5-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like- a-Genius-Step-5-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c6/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-5- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-5-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Allow your subconscious mind to work during downtime. Set aside about half an hour for your mind to rest. You can play cards, meditate, or do other things that don’t require stressful thinking. [8] X Research Sources
- Even if you’re not aware of it, giving your mind a break opens up space for your subconscious to make new connections. [9] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/95/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-6-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like- a-Genius-Step-6-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/95/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-6- Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-6-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Active. No matter how good a break is, it won’t lead you to success if you just sit around all day. Has iron grinding makes perfect; so do something productive related to the area of talent you want to nurture every day. [10] X Research Source
- If you want to be a great musician, spend as much time as you can practicing with your chosen instrument. If you want to be a great novelist, try to write stories every day. As Thomas Edison once said, “Genius is the result of one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent hard work.” [11] X Research Source
- Reflect on the famous 10,000 hour principle. To master something, you need a lot of regular and thorough practice. This does not mean that anyone can do anything when they practice enough. The true meaning here is, if you have natural talent, you need to practice hard to cultivate talent. [12] X Research Source

Write down your ideas. Try to journal every day. Always keep a pad of paper and pen handy to jot down those whims that you want to explore further. [13] X Research Source
- Even if a random thought hasn’t fully formed, the process of writing it down will help you keep the idea in your mind instead of letting it fall into oblivion. At some point, you’ll probably ruminate and bring that idea into focus. In the end, it can become an inspiration for you to create a work of art, an invention or a solution at work, in school or in your personal life.

Widely connected with many people. The notion that geniuses are lonely and distant is just a myth. Inspiration and creativity can’t come from nowhere. Regular conversations with friends, relatives, colleagues and teachers will expose you to many perspectives and provide the raw materials for your “processing plant”. [14] X Source of Research
- Try to communicate with people outside your comfort zone. Try starting a conversation with someone at work or at school that you don’t know very well. You can also do volunteer work, join a club or a new activity to meet new people.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/49/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like- a-Genius-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/49/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-9- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Walk often. Walking is not just a form of exercise. Whether it’s walking outdoors or on the treadmill, this activity helps stimulate creative thinking. Moreover, the creative essence will not stop flowing even when you have stopped walking. [15] X Research Source
- A 30-minute walk a day will be great for your mental and physical health. When you encounter obstacles and your mind seems stuck, try walking for 30 minutes and then go back to work.
Nurturing wisdom

Get to know your learning style. Some people learn by sight, others learn better by hearing. Whether you’re learning something at school, at work, or studying on your own, try to notice when you’re learning well and when it’s harder to process information. [16] X Research Source
- For example, you may find that certain information will only go through the other ear when you can’t read along or look at the pictures. When you are instructed to do something, you may find that you learn more easily by doing it instead of just listening to it.
- When you are being taught something, let the instructor know how they have to put it so that you can better absorb it.
- When studying on your own, look to mass media like YouTube videos or podcasts that suit your learning style.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1f/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like- a-Genius-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1f/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-11- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Do your own research on a variety of topics. Learning about a wide variety of topics can help you get an overview of how things work. From documentaries to how-to articles, there are countless resources at your fingertips. As you study different disciplines, think about how they relate to each other. [17] X Research Source
- Suppose you are watching a documentary about the formation of hurricanes. You might think a storm looks like a galaxy, and wonder how the laws of physics create things like hurricanes and galaxies. Find connections and let one topic lead to another.
- Be sure to find instructional resources that match your learning style. If you’re a visual learner, documentaries and tutorials on Netflix and YouTube can be good options. If you can absorb information well, listen to podcasts like StarTalk, TEDTalks, or Radipab.

Read as much as possible. While mass media is always rife and accessible, don’t underestimate the value of written texts. Reading helps stimulate the imagination and strengthens critical thinking skills. [18] X Research Sources
- If you don’t like reading long novels, choose a collection of short stories. Try reading newspapers, essays, poetry, or magazines (such as scientific, technical, or art publications).
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7f/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Think-Like-a-Genius- Step-13.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7f/Think-Like-a-Genius-Step-13.jpg/v4-728px-Think- Like-a-Genius-Step-13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Stay healthy. Thinking takes a lot of energy, so it’s important to eat a healthy diet, exercise, and get enough sleep. If you don’t take care of your health, you may have trouble concentrating and coming up with new ideas. [19] X Trusted Source Harvard Business Review Go to Source
