From Mental Tune-Up #3 by Nick Milo

Rigid Thinking is:

  • bookmark everything and never read them
  • take notes but not adding my own thoughts
  • one source only
  • never question, agree with everything, especially when it aligns with what I already believe1

Fluid Thinking is the opposite of Rigid Thinking:

When something sparks, immediately make a remark, and say “because”.

The ‘because’ forces me to answer. When I try to answer, I will/may think critically, creatively, connectively and generatively.

Don’t do rigid thinking, do fluid thinking instead.
