CREATIVE
THINKING 
Creative Thinking How we think 
Do
you ever think about how you think? If this seems
like a strange question, then think again…
There are many different ways to think. In his
book, A
Whack on the Side of the Head, Roger von Oech
identifies dozens of different ways of thinking.
Here are just some of them:
Some types of thinking are more rational and focused. Some types of thinking are more creative and expansive (Roger von Oech calls this 'hard' and 'soft' thinking). Both can be valuable when used at the right times and in the right way. (For more examples, take a look at our articles on Brainstorming and Six Thinking Hats). So next time you're thinking, take some time to think about HOW you're thinking. It may lead you to try a new and more productive approach. Ask yourself: Do I make best use of different ways of thinking, to maximize my productivity?
