It's a great idea to not only separate these two phases in a brainstorming, but also when you are working creatively on your own. Wim After the diverging phase there is the converging phase.

I often tell my students (I teach philosophy) to start with a question they have about their topic and write about why that question puzzles them rather than starting with the assignment. I think the reason that this works is because they don't worry so much about the right answer but they just start being creative. Later on, they see how they can get the ideas to work into the assignment, whereas if they just started with the assignment, they would be frustrated and would quit. Sometimes I teach the theory behind it, and when I do, it follows much the same lines as your explanation here. Keep up the great work. Great post.

This will mean you have some days where ideas flow easily, and others where you need to put in a lot of sweat to get something good. But I believe, in the end, you'll get far more done than the person that writes on a whim. -Scott Rick,

They recommended having a "brainstorming" session in which you are not allowed to judge your ideas (or those of others if you're in a group) and a "cold-water session" in which ideas can be evaluated. I like the way you put it though. I read an e-book on brainstorming recently and they had some similar advice to yours.
