"A leads to B and it leads to C which leads to failure."- a typical linear path
Second suggestion to improve our lateral thinking is to Verbalize the convention
The article suggests asking yourself questions such as:
"How would a typical person approach this problem?”
Understanding the typical solution helps us to "map out the obvious". It helps us tap into conventional wisdom. But conventional wisdom almost always follows linear thinking.
So to change the path ask yourself:
“What if I couldn’t go this route?”
In other words, take that path off the table and think of options that conventional wisdom would not consider as solutions.
