Good Morning Thinkers!

Big Couch ... Little Door
You know the feeling ... you're faced with a desperate situation that cries out for a creative solution.
Maybe you have to squeeze a six-foot davenport through a three-foot doorway ... Or your significant other suddenly develops a violent allergy to your beloved chihuahua ... Or your biggest client just delivered an ultimatum: Come up with a concept that will make the competition's blood run cold ... or else!
You sit and think and scratch your head. You ponder the problem and you scratch some more. Maybe lightning strikes and a great idea magically presents itself. More likely, it doesn't.
Stop scratching ... what you need is a brain wake-up! If your mind feels like it's covered with sludge, here's something to get your synapses firing .. a brain booster to stimulate those billions of gray-matter cells.
Good Morning Thinkers! is a short, weekly brain wake-up designed to give your brain a nudge. Each week you'll find things to think about, new ideas to try, quick techniques to help you think more powerfully. Play with them ... if they work for you, put them in your personal tool kit ... if they don't work, keep them for later. Sometimes, techniques that don't work in one situation will work beautifully in another.

If you generate that million dollar idea for your client (or figure out how to get the davenport through the doorway or what to do about your significant other's allergy) by using one of these techniques, please let us know and we'll celebrate with you!
