YouTopia

The place to go when you need to get out of your head. . . . right NOW!

You've got 10 minutes to come up with a great idea. Or maybe it's due tomorrow. Whatever. There's a deadline pressing down on you and you need help getting creative. Sometimes the pressure of "reality" is the absolute worst thing in the world for stimulating creative thinking. That's when you need help... help getting out of your rut, getting out of the funk, getting out of box, getting out of your head... whatever you want to call it.

The tools and articles below are meant to be used as quick trips to another place -- a creative place -- YouTopia. The place where you could go if you had all the time in the world to think of all the great ideas you could come up with if you had infinite resources, infinite help and infinite patience. Which, of course, you don't. You have 10 minutes. Which is all the time it takes to get to YouTopia and back.
