Treat your ideas with respect
Scribbling on a post-it doesn’t give your ideas they respect they deserve. Change the way you and others consider them by using a simple format that makes people think twice before dismissing and does more to get your idea across.

In tandem
Means one in front of another, as opposed to side-by-side. It comes from a tandem harness with two horses pulling with one in front of the other. So technically no matter how many people you put on a bike, if they are in a straight line, they are still in tandem. As opposed to a bike where you sit side-by-side, also known as a sociable. I had to check this one out as on Friday I’m doing a somewhat crazy cycle on a home-made 6-man bike (all sitting in tandem) from London to Amsterdam for a great cause - KEEN London who provide one-to-one sports for children with special needs. Any donation you can make will make a huge difference to a small organisation. With just one day left, please donate here if you can…Means one in front of another, as opposed to side-by-side.

Figure and ground
How we choose to separate objects from the background. Also see FedEx. Travel is good for resetting our figures and grounds. The classic vase/faces illustration is an example of an ambiguous figure—or sometimes a reversible or bistable figure.…How we choose to separate objects from the background. Also see FedEx.
