So how do you get into the habit of creative thinking?

Well, the best way is to just do it!

The more you practice, the better you’ll get. It’s really that simple.

I’ve been thinking we need a (better?) review system for productivity and power user “research” (as that’s what this is, really: management science). We need good, solid definitions, constructs of what exactly we’re measuring and how concepts relate to one another, and methodology for assessing objective benefits of the latest trick.
