How to break the conventional thinking mode

Conventional thinking mode limits our thinking and affects our ability to do things. How can we break the conventional thinking mode? The following is the information I compiled about how to break the conventional thinking mode. Let's have a look!

How to break the conventional thinking mode 1 Anti-transformation and reverse thinking methods.

This method refers to the method of thinking from the opposite direction of what is known and generating the idea of invention.

"The opposite direction of things" is often reflected in three aspects: function, structure and causality. ? Like in the market? The smokeless fish frying pan sold is to install the heat source of the original fish frying pan from the bottom to the top. This is the product of using reverse thinking to carry out anti-transformation thinking in structure.

2. Change the reverse thinking method.

This refers to the way of thinking that when studying a problem, because the means to solve the disaster problem is blocked, we will change a means or change the angle of thinking to solve the problem smoothly.

For example, the story of Sima Guang who smashed a jar to save a drowning child, which is a much-told story in history, is essentially a change of use? An example of reverse thinking method.

Because Sima Guang can't climb? The method of saving people in the jar solved the problem, so he changed another method, breaking the jar to save people, and then solved the problem smoothly.

3. shortcomings reverse thinking.

This is a kind of thinking and invention method that makes use of the shortcomings of things, turns shortcomings into usable things, turns passivity into initiative and turns disadvantages into advantages.

This method is not to overcome the shortcomings of things, on the contrary, it is to turn shortcomings into advantages and find solutions.

For example, metal corrosion is a bad thing, but people use the principle of metal corrosion to produce metal powder or use it for electroplating and other purposes, which is undoubtedly an application of the thinking method of reverse thinking.

Examples of breaking the conventional way of thinking in the workplace 1 American lawn

Middle-class Americans like to have a lawn in front of their house and spend a lot of time maintaining it. But what does the lawn mean to a family? In fact, a simple lawn is not fun, sometimes it is not as good as Japanese or China's courtyard design, but the American middle class just likes to get a lawn. They don't like shrubs, trees and flowers, small ponds, and jujube trees on the left and right.

In fact, it is historical habits that form the lawn worship of Europeans and Americans. Before the industrial revolution, lawns belonged only to nobles. Because there is no mechanization, the cost of maintaining them completely by manpower is very high, and there is no actual output, so only nobles will have lawns.

This is also the reason why Europeans and Americans worship lawns, so now every family has lawns. Just like Jiangxi and Hunan, cooking is salty to death, because only rich people could afford salt before. Europeans like to eat sweets, and sweets are also extremely unhealthy foods. Because when sugar cane was introduced to Europe, there were only a few places where sugar cane could be planted, so sugar was very precious, which formed the worship of sweets, which became a habit, and habits strengthened people's dependence on sweets. Human breast milk is hardly sweet. If the sugar content is well controlled when children are young, children will not be greatly dependent on sweets when they grow up.

Therefore, in some things, the power of habit is terrible, and it will lead you to a dead end.

2 reverse thinking: from results to methods

Inertial thinking makes you ignore whether your method can achieve your goal, but habitually follow the original method. Did you achieve the result? Until the end, you will find that this is an impossible task. Therefore, people who don't follow the rules are the results first.

Model T may be an unparalleled miracle in automobile history. Ford reduced the car price from $4,700 in the early 20th century to $65,438 in 2000. At that time, the output of Ford Model T exceeded half of the world's total automobile production.

Many people think that Henry Ford found the standard production process of the assembly line, thus reducing the cost, and then launched the Model T with extremely low price. In fact, this is a typical inertial thinking, because the traditional pricing method is that cost determines price. However, old Ford didn't think so. He used the opposite method, that is, let the price determine the cost. After calculation, Ford thinks that the American people will consume a lot of cars only when the price of cars drops to this level. So he set the price (that is, the goal) first, and then tried to reduce the cost on a large scale. This is the price determines the cost. This is a maverick way of thinking, which I call it. From results to methods? Although Ford used this way of thinking to create the miracle of Model T more than 0/00 years ago, after so many years, we are still used to the thinking mode from method to result.

The story of the boy and the dead donkey broke the traditional thinking mode.

A child from a city moved to the countryside and bought a donkey from a farmer for $65,438+000. The farmer accepted the money and agreed to bring the donkey to him the next day. The next day, the farmer came to the boy and said that the donkey was dead and the money could not be returned. The boy asked the farmer to give him the dead donkey.

A few days later, the farmer met the boy and asked him what he did with the dead donkey.

The boy said:? I held a lucky draw and took the donkey as a prize. I sold 500 lottery tickets at 2 dollars each. ? A few years later, the grown-up boy became the president of a big company.

The boy spent 100 dollars on a dead donkey, which should be said to be very unlucky. However, he did not deal with it simply, but broke the routine. Starting from people's eagerness to win prizes, he held a lucky draw with donkeys as prizes, disposed of the dead donkeys with creative thinking, and got 1000 dollars. If the boy sticks to a rut and doesn't take the initiative to think creatively every time, maybe there will be one less president in the world.
