5 Ways to Make the Familiar Strange
Posted in General, Illusion, Innovation, Kindergarten, Paradigm, Theatre, Unlearn Strategy
One method of unlearning is to make the familiar strange. It's not as paradoxical as it may seem. Here are simple five ways to do it:
1. Turn a familiar object upside down. Remember the opposite may also be true.
2. View an object from a different perspective. (Look at picture to the right. Now step back 20 feet. Do you see someone else? Is it strange or familiar?)
3. Use a different sense to explore an object. For example, try listening to a colleague instead of just "seeing" them.)
4. Ask a stranger what he or she finds strange about the object.

Don’t drive to office like you always do, walk one day, grab your bike or a cab or better still hitch a ride and see.
