๐Ÿ”ŽCase Brief #12

You read something online about visualization practice but you're not sure if it's true.

๐ŸŽฏ Your mission

Identify the real cause.

โšก The twist

The boring answer is already taken.

What You'll Learn

๐Ÿ’ช Close your eyes and imagine your ideal day in detail. What do you see, hear, smell, and feel? Creative visualization activates the same brain areas as actually doing things! Understanding visualization practice is one of the building blocks of strong thinking. To use this skill, follow these steps: First, understand the problem. Read it again if you need to. What is it really asking? Next, think about what you know. Have you seen something like this before? What worked last time? Then, come up with ideas. Try to think of at least TWO possible answers before picking one. The first idea isn't always the best! Finally, check your work. Does your answer make sense? Can you explain WHY you chose it? If you can explain your thinking, you really understand it. Remember: smart thinkers aren't people who never make mistakes โ€” they're people who LEARN from mistakes!
