Creativity : Concentration

The ability to concentrate is an important skill for a creative thinker. Without concentration you will be unable to dig past the trivial things on the surface and get to the interesting stuff the lies beneath the surface.



If you are having difficulty concentrating on a task, try pretending that you are not having trouble. Ask yourself what it would feel like if you were able to concentrate. How would you be sitting? What would you be thinking? Try to think back to a time when you were able to concentrate. How did you feel then? What is different from how you feel now? You can often trick yourself into concentrating if you think about what it would feel like to be doing it.

"We are wandering, however, into excursive speculations, when our intention was merely to give an idea of the nature of the wilderness which Mr. Hunt was about to traverse" -- Irving, Washington

Memory : Anonymous Chess

Setup a chessboard in your workplace or home. Anyone should be encouraged to come up to the board, weigh the possibilities and make a move for either side. This is an ongoing game that will last for several days. Since anyone can play for either side, there are no winners or losers. In reality, everyone is a winner because this game introduces some novelty into the players' day and gives them a chance to exercise a different part of their brains. Often a workday can be filled with drudgery. This is a good way to liven it up a little.

VIDEO: Missing Cubes Optical Illusion

via Mighty Optical Illusions http://www.moillusions.com/2013/04/video-missing-cubes-optical-illusion.html

If you haven’t had the chance to see this “Missing/Extra Cube” video that went viral recently, here’s your chance to see it now! Norberto Jansenson has re-thinked famous missing-piece illusion (original version included triangle), and then presented it in much more appealing and effective manner.

The idea behind this toy is somewhat identical to “Preposterous Puzzle” and “Confuzzle“. Norberto starts with a wooden frame filled entirely by 63 cubical pieces, where he then starts rearranging them. By the end of the video he ends up with few extra pieces on his side. Let’s see if we can solve this illusive puzzle one more time!
