Always have a sweet box of Crayola crayons around so you can
color a picture and put it on the fridge.
* Do something every day that will make you giggle. Better yet,
do it multiple times daily.
* Take something with you when you’re in public to occupy
yourself creatively in case you get bored and cranky.
* If you don’t know the answer to a problem, take a guess. Or
copy off the person sitting next to you.
* Draw your ideas, even if the lines are crooked or it’s tough
to tell exactly what it is. And don’t call it an infographic!
* If something isn’t making sense, be sure to scrunch your face
so it’s apparent to everybody!
* Get everybody together for a meeting in the cafeteria and
serve ice cream cones.
* Don’t wait to raise your hand; just start talking when an idea
occurs to you.
* Always have toys in plain view in your office. Don’t be
reluctant to play with them during boring meetings.
* Forget to bring your homework home with you at day’s end. Work
on it tomorrow between meetings. It will probably be better
anyway.
The fun part of tweeting the forerunners of these ideas was when
other tweeters jumped in to contribute to this friendsourced
post. @SBarton1220 recommended including a Magic 8 ball and a
“Jump to Conclusions” mat (from “Office Space”) in the toy mix.
She said she uses Magic 8 balls to help clarify the outcome she
really wants by shaking it until the “right” answer appears. @EastRidgePrint
suggested her favorite: “Silly putty. Best. Invention. Ever.” |
