Think outside the box

Confession: In my quick search on this blog, I found that I've actually used this term a total of 9 times.

Truth be told, I often hate using this phrase myself because it's well ... just so overused -- and YES, I'm kicking myself even as I type this. :)     But since this seems to be the popular expression for merely thinking differently, I actually feel "stuck inside the box" every time I use it. Anyone else?

Anyway ... enjoy this short video.

Bonus: Here's a related photo I capturea a few years ago on building a box to think outside of.

PS: Thanks Matt for sending this. You were right, it made me laugh.

Well, I must confess - I have created a whole theme for a presentation around thinking outside the box, and even used my 9-year-old's box-turned-into-dollhouse as the anchor...

But then, I'm crazy like that.

It could be worse - the comment that drains me the most is "at the end of the day"......

A phrase I enjoy "How can I think outside the box when I work in one all day."

In my organization, we have started a "Skunkworks" as a group of creative thinkers with the mission to help us do more, better, with less. Maybe that will lead to the phrase - "think like a skunk".

Thank you for your blog and for choosing Columbus to practice your craft. Good job on WOSU this week.
