Creative Problem-Solving

This week in Open we primarily focused on Creative Problem-Solving. Solving problems in a "Creative" manner is applicable practically in every situation. Situations may call for an extended view, an "outside-of-the-box" outlook, a mindset of broader knowledge to successfully (or rather adequately) complete, accomplish, or overcome the task at hand. Solving problems this way will become more fluent and subconsciously active the more we practice thinking in this manner and exercising creative, successful outcomes to issues.  The more fluent this becomes the better. Creatively solving problems always reminds me of the quote, "I always choose a lazy person to do a difficult job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it." - Bill Gates. I came across this about a year ago and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. "Find an easy way to do it", is referring to a hard task completed rather simply and more agile than expected, by solving it in a more simple and agile way... a creative way.
