Playing 'Urgent Evoke' as a method to exercise my thinking outside the box.
It's basically an online community gaming thingy which asks you how to save the world.
The year is 2019 and the world is going to hell in a giftbasket and it's your duty to stop it by coming up with innovative ideas to solve world problems like famine, water shortages and disease.

Here's my first entry as proof that I've learnt something, it's called 'Think Big.":

Think creatively: start big, use constraints as a filter and find the simplest solutions.

- Paul Polak via Nextbillion

I had always been awestruck by how some people can manage to come up with the most supreme idea and produce it in such a way that it's cost effective and just plain works. My ideas have been, by far, off the wall and nigh unattainable because it just has too many real world constraints.

Naysayers tend to get the better of me thus preventing a potentially good idea from flourishing and reaching its intended audience. This is mainly because I forget that to think big is just a one of the key components out of a two part recipe. Filter, as Paul Polak so put, comes after the infinite magnitude of the idea. Filtering takes away the unnecessary bits, eliminating redundancies and what you're left with is the essence of the idea and a base platform to rebuild with the constraints in mind.

Cost, distribution, public awareness, public acceptance. These are some of the constraints that are feasible. We're not doing magic. We're making the world the eventual Utopia of sorts. So think big!

So yeah, here I be, waiting for my team-members to CC to me a copy of the research findings so I can finally finish the stupid report because my email hasn't received it... at all! I don't understand... :(

Edit: I sent her my part because I need to go to sleep -- I lied. I should go to sleep. I have to be up at 7AM. But. I just don't want to yet.
