Why Brainstorming Works
Brainstorming trains your brain to generate ideas on demand. The quantity-over-quality approach prevents perfectionism and builds creative confidence through repetition and volume.

Divergent thinking strengthens neural creativity networks
Regular ideation reduces fear of 'bad' ideas and builds confidence
