There are some moments when we’re just get stuck - we’re seeking for something, but we can’t find it - it’s an idea.

Of course this is related with “clean mind” or something like that. But I won’t talk about any psychological relaxation or something because it needs time - and we’re seeking for the fastest way to find idea for our presentation.

Now, this is the trick.

The fastest way to brainstorm your presentation? Use the classical journalistic slogan: 5W1H.

Yep, they are what, where, when, who, why, and how.

And what you need to do is to make some questions related to your presentation’s main object using that 5W1H. You don’t need to make 1 what, 1 where, 1 when, and so on - you can make 5 whats and 2 wheres, or even 10 whats with 0 where - it’s all up to you, we’re talking about being creative here.

Still get stuck? Don’t worry.

I’ve wrote some questions to help you brainstorm your presentation. Just read them, scramble around them. You are allowed to use these questions for brainstorming your presentation.

- What is it?
- What it does to me (audience)?
- Where is it?
- Where it has first started?
- Where can I visit it closest to my (audience) home?
- Where can I (audience) buy it?
- Where can I (audience) see its factory?
- Where it has been for each year?
- Where is the best place to buy it?
- When it has first started?
- When can I (audience) find it most?
- When it will be announced next time?
- When I (audience) must buy it?
- When I (audience) must visit it?
- Who announced it?
- Who comes to it?
- Who cares about it?
- Who created it?
- Who I (audience) must meet to buy it?
- Why it was announced?
- Why it will be announced?
- Why I (audience) must learn about it?
- Why it affects my (audience) life?
- Why I (audience) must buy it?
- Why I (audience) must visit it?
- Why I (audience) must do something about it?
- Why are you talking about it?
- How can I (audience) buy it?
- How can I (audience) visit it?
- How it affects my (audience) life?
- How can it impresses me (audience)?
- How can it be so good so I (audience) can’t ignore it?

That’s a mediocre list of questions. Got brainstormed?
