In this video, let's go over another exercise. And this is answering a question in many unique and different ways. And you can ask, you can play this with yourself, you can play it with a friend. So basically you pick a question. It's very simple, basic question. What day is today is what we're going to use.

And we're gonna get a lot of answers. Now, first of all, our brain is going to answer it. You know what day is today? Tuesday, it may be it's a warm day, it's a long day is the second day of the week. Those are the kind of answers that are most readily come to most people. There they are right answers, they are the correct answers, but they are not creative.

So we want to quickly get past those kinds of descriptive, logical, boring answers and get into more creative ones. So here are some creative ones that I came up with today. And I'm going to walk you through a few of them and I'm going to give you a few guidelines for how you can do this. And again, if you can think of new ways to answer this question, definitely post them in the comments of this video. And so, we are going to see accumulate in the course hopefully. So how did I answer this question creatively?

And by the way, when I was making this lecture, I was kind of struggling, because I wasn't feeling that creative myself today, because I'm more in the singular task Moulton some, you know, creating slides filming, so it was a little bit difficult for me. So, here are my answers. So an answer that I got from previously playing this game from a friend of mine is, is the first day of the rest of my life. Or another answer that somebody else gave me before. It's a fluffy day, and I really like that one. So that one I can't take credit for.

Sometimes it's a day of self doubt, right? Because for me is that they have self doubt because when I'm making a course like this, it's a little bit of a unique and different course. It's not the kind of course I'm used to and I don't know what the students response is going to be. So it really makes me have self doubt. And kind of really wonder how what will this do? response will be and that's the emotion that I'm fishing out of myself when I'm filming that this, to be honest.

And then maybe today where I feel like I'm a butterfly, and I don't, I don't actually feel like a butterfly. But maybe you see, it's like, digging into a little bit of the feelings, right? But keep in mind that as you found, okay, the the Initially, the initial thing you can do is to say, okay, it's a peek into your emotions, right? They have self doubt, I feel like a butterfly, then that was created a second to go, but it's no longer creative. So you don't want to accumulate a lot of like, I feel like this I feel like that because that's also becomes quickly not creative. So you want to get into different spaces with your answer.

So let's keep going. So maybe it's a drone day for me like I feel like a drone because it's a weekend and I'm filming the course and it's nice outside and I'm just working away. Now it's also a day for me Like I'm, it's a day of not enough desserts because I mean, I'm taking a week of not eating desserts or it's hard on me because I love dessert. It's a birthday for someone else. That's another thing you can say. Right?

So now we're stepping into a different dimension of a kind of answer. Now it's like a birthday, not my birthday, but somebody certainly has a birthday today. So it's a birthday for someone else. And you can enter this this as a holiday for somebody else in a different country. But again, picking on the the second ago, this was different and unique and creative. Now, it's also we don't want to keep on going back to the same the same wealth for this, you know, for the same kind of answer.

So we want to have different kinds of answers. So it's a middling day, like it's not exciting. It's not boring. It's an OK day. It's a sweaty day because here it's summer, it's the beginning of July and I'm filming this and it's really nice outside and I know when I step outside, I'm gonna get all sweaty and muggy. Right so It's a sweaty day.

It's a little bit of responsible they because they also want to be it's summer I want to be out. And sometimes this day, you know, then I get into different kinds of answers the opposites, right. The next one is instead of a day, it's a night. Okay. Night leads to romantic evening leads to, maybe we take an opposite again, okay, romantic evening playing video games, right, which is, which is ironically not romantic. So, and I don't even play video games, but but this is kind of how, you know, you can take this in different direction.

And that's it for my answers for this question. But you should keep playing this. You can keep playing this for a long time. And it actually took me a long time to even come up with these because I had to each time think outside the box and in a new way, and it kind of stopped me in my tracks and I had to rethink and think again and think differently, and really expanded how I see the day to day. So he also you can try this and Try it by yourself. Try it with a partner, a colleague, maybe the team, the team that you manage and see if this can be also a creativity exercise but also a team building exercise as well.
