MINDSHIFT CARDS ACTIVATE YOUR CREATIVITY & DEVELOP THE MOST IMPORTANT SOFT SKILL, CRITICAL THINKING – IN THE AREA OF PROBLEM SOLVING.
Facing challenges is a part of life, but it is particularly frustrating when the solution is painfully close, yet the path to it is not so clear. Proven strategies don’t work. Although we are eager to try new methods, we don’t know how to get started. And that’s exactly the initial push that mindshift cards provide – they aim to help you move from a traditional, linear mindset to a dynamic, creative mindset. Ready to try it?
What is creativity and why do you need it?
Creativity is a broad spectrum of skills and competences – at one end of which is creativity with a ‘small c’, everyday artistic expression and unique insights – yes, this is present in your everyday life as well. At the other end of the – spectrum is Creativity with a capital ‘C’, those pioneering innovations redefining whole industries. Some say creativity is like a ladder leaning against a tall house. When you climb it, no one (including you) knows how fast you can get from creativity to Creativity. Moving up to the next step depends on your ability to create and maintain the conditions necessary for your creativity to grow.
IT’S A MISCONCEPTION THAT CREATIVITY IS LIMITED TO THE ARTS AND CREATIVE PROFESSIONS.
Think of creativity as the art of remixing, taking bits and pieces of seemingly unrelated things – ideas, technologies, designs – and putting them together, taking the pieces and transforming them into something fresh and new. Creativity is in everything, from coding a cool app to planning your next holiday. Experts have been trying to define creativity for decades, and have largely concluded that all creative processes follow more or less the same path:
WHAT CARDS ARE IN THE DECK?
The pack contains 50 cards with easy-to-digest, everyday decision situations. There are proven methods in strategic management, design thinking, psychology, but also everyday life hacks that can be useful for creative problem solving. The cards take different approaches to solving problems.
The mindset shift category includes cards that are designed to change the basic approach to traditional thinking and problem solving – the mindshift itself. Cards that encourage creative exploration trigger your imagination to see new synergies from unusual directions. Inspirational insights cards show the potential of random situations to solve problems. The practical tools cards provide widely proven, innovative strategies and tools for solving problems.
How to use the cards alone?
Whether you choose cards randomly or in order, the point is the same: find a connection between what you read on the card and a problem that is bothering you – the connection can be direct, indirect, or even symbolic. Once you find the connection, you can start brainstorming on possible solutions. You can use the cards even if you are not thinking about a specific problem, but you want to improve your critical thinking.
- MORNING ROUTINE: Start your day by drawing a card. Let the card’s message guide your approach to the day’s tasks. You’ll be surprised at the new perspectives you’ll discover – and you’re guaranteed to have fun!
- JOURNALING: Pick a card every day and write a journal entry about it – check it out at mindshiftcards.com. Discover how the card relates to your experiences and how it can influence your decisions. A regular diary gives a great overview of your progress. Flip it through from time to time to see patterns and breakthroughs.
- GAME PLAY: Put yourself in someone’s shoes (it could be a historical figure or even a fictional character) and draw a card, then think about how they would act on the problem.
- TIME TRAVEL: Think about how the message of that card would have been interpreted in another time, this technique will broaden your horizons.
- VIZUALIZATION: Pick a card and imagine a scenario in which this technique could play a key role. This exercise will sharpen your imagination and prepare you to solve a real problem.
How to use the cards as a team?
Work with the team pictogram cards, using one of the following methods:
- BEST WINS: Deal one card to each team member. Each person argues for the method of his or her card, then vote and start with the method that gets the most votes. Keep going until you have a solution.
- TIMED CHALLENGE: The previous version can be further improved. If there are several smaller teams, take advantage of the competitive spirit. Set a timer and see which team solves the challenge the fastest.
- BRAIN TEASERS’ CAROUSEL: If you’re not racing against the clock, hand out 1-2 cards to everyone and let members demonstrate what they’ve come up with. The round continues until everyone has had a turn with all their cards. This ensures that you can explore each issue from different perspectives.
- CARD AMBASSADOR: Each team chooses a representative to draw cards for their team. Teams then come up with solutions based on the cards drawn. After a few rounds, swap representatives.
