How to run effective workshops - Alison Coward - Codemotion Amsterdam 2016
Meetings are broken! They frustrate people, drain energy and can be a massive waste of time. On the other hand, great workshops can transform a team project. They can engage and motivate a team, get quality insights and spark great ideas. Running workshops can seem like a daunting task if you’ve never done it before. This talk will break down the process so you know what do before, during and after your workshop to make it a success. You’ll learn how to plan and prepare so the discussion stays focused, get the best ideas, hear from everyone in the room and lead your team to great work.
Productivity
Christopher DeCaro outlines four steps to increase productivity: 1) capture tasks, 2) process tasks by organizing them, 3) do tasks, and 4) improve by reviewing and learning. He provides tips for improving productivity such as understanding goals, focusing on the most important tasks, working in phases, and using downtime productively. DeCaro recommends capturing all tasks, understanding what you want to accomplish, and adjusting your attitude to work more efficiently.
Time management toolkit
The document provides 5 tips for improving time management as a university student, including visualizing success, dealing with procrastination by limiting distractions, getting organized by writing things down and using a calendar, studying smarter by reading in short bursts between classes, and maintaining a social life. It encourages students to be realistic in their time management goals and provides additional resources for students struggling with their schedules.
Positive side of being lazy
This document discusses the benefits of laziness. It argues that laziness can make you more productive, creative, and relaxed. It claims lazy people are often more intelligent because they look for shortcuts to get tasks done more efficiently. Being lazy allows time for introspection. It also suggests that laziness is beneficial for teenagers' development and may lead to discovering interests. Overall, the document argues laziness has advantages if used strategically rather than as a hindrance to productivity.
Hat Color Report: Creative Connections Team -- Frank Pray
Frank Pray analyzed his tendencies when brainstorming and creative writing. His primary approaches are creative (green hat) and organized (blue hat), with secondary tendencies being intuitive (red hat), optimistic (yellow hat), and cautious (black hat). He likes to combine his creative and organized tendencies, using structure to freely generate ideas and ensure projects are completed on time. However, his organized side can also inhibit creativity by editing too quickly, so he works to ignore that urge and let all ideas emerge without judgment.
Solutions
The document provides a problem statement for an engineer named Ms. XYZ who wants to manage her time more efficiently and socialize more. It then lists 50 suggested solutions to help with time management, becoming more social, and being more productive in work. The most practical solution is to avoid multitasking and instead finish work sequentially according to a priority list. The most disruptive solution would be to buy a robot to do household chores. The favorite suggested solution is to reward herself with activities she enjoys after completing her goals and work on time.

Ace time management
Effective time management is not a fixed skill but rather develops continuously. There is no single right way to manage time well, but it's important to prioritize tasks and find hidden time in each day. Distractions are also something we can control, such as using phones as rewards or working in different locations to focus.
How to practice lettering like a pro
It’s easy to run out of energy and go stale with your lettering practice once the original excitement and motivation dries up. Thinking of something inspiring to write everyday or pushing through a skill plateau can take energy that is hard to find, but if you want to be a professional lettering artist one day, you have to practice lettering like a pro now. Learn how to develop your rockstar routine in just 20-minutes a day
Ace time management
Managing time well requires developing skills over time as obligations change. There is no single right approach, but keeping a variety of time management strategies can help stay on top of tasks. While a lack of time may seem the issue, poor prioritization is often to blame. Small windows of unexpected time each day can be used productively with pocket work. Work expands to fill the time given, so set goals and timebox tasks to avoid last-minute crunches. Adaptability is key as plans will change, so find alternate work spaces when needed.

3 ways to make the research writing process easier
The document provides 3 tips for making the research writing process easier:
1. Write to stimulate thinking rather than waiting until fully formed ideas. Set a timer for 20 minutes of free writing without editing to get ideas flowing.

Course Relections
This document summarizes Kim Falk's reflections on a crash course in creativity from December 16, 2012. The most valuable aspects were working synergistically with diverse people to develop new skills and stretching boundaries further than thought possible. The most surprising elements included writing a children's story with teammates, creating a video for insomnia that could market a concept, and enjoying teamwork without seeing each other. Lessons that will be used in daily life are that groups can function differently with temporary roles, and that listening, observing, and using technology in new ways can foster ideas and faster results.
Creative teams

For this assignment, the author took a logical blue hat approach but also allowed some creativity, preferring the collaborative yellow hat of working as a team to achieve tasks.
Paying attention
The document describes observations from visits to three personal care stores: Lush, Aveda, and The Body Shop. Lush had a bright, youthful environment with colorful bath products displayed throughout. Staff engaged customers to sample products and provide massages. Aveda presented an elegant, spa-like setting with subtly colored hair and skin products. Staff provided tea and product demonstrations. The Body Shop had an outdated green color scheme and busy environment filled with products on sale. Staff were focused on sales during the busy period.

The document discusses reframing problems to maximize value through increasing utilization and reducing waste. It describes a community-operated program called Each One Feed Many where individuals contribute ingredients to bake bread which is then distributed to pantries, stores, homeless people, and others. The program benefits from efficiently using spare materials and resources while allowing everyone to contribute according to their capacity.

Crash Course in Creativity Assignment: Creative teams assignment re: six hats...
The document discusses an individual's experience wearing the different "hats" from the Six Hats model in a creative teams assignment.
The most comfortable hat is the Creative hat, as the individual enjoys coming up with new ideas and solutions, though they have less practice with this hat. The least comfortable is the Intuitive hat, as the individual prefers to be thoroughly prepared rather than make decisions based on intuition.
When trying on different hats, the Logical and Organized hats feel most natural due to the individual's background, but the Creative and Optimistic hats help the most with brainstorming and coming up with new ideas, while the Intuitive hat is still the most difficult to wear.
I am a white hat person
Samrina Zahid prefers to take a positive, logical approach when working as shown by her preference for the White and Yellow Hats. In her last group assignment to generate 100 solutions for sleeplessness, she was able to easily meet the deadline by starting work and going with the creative flow while wearing her Green Hat. While she can wear other hats at times, the negative Black Hat and process-focused Blue Hat do not come as naturally to her thinking style.

It describes each type of thinking hat - creative, logical, organized, intuitive, cautious, and optimistic. The respondent finds the green hat (innovative) and yellow hat (positive) most comfortable as an engineer and designer. The logical and cautious hats are least comfortable as they limit creativity. Trying on different hats, the respondent finds the creative hat generates impractical ideas, while the logical hat fosters more practical solutions.

The author lacks experience using different hats since they have not led a team but tried the green hat on an assigned team with limited success.

The hat trick
The document discusses the six thinking hats method created by Edward de Bono. Each colored hat represents a different perspective or way of thinking. The white hat calls for facts, the yellow hat explores positives, the black hat looks for difficulties, the red hat expresses emotions, the green hat focuses on creativity, and the blue hat manages the thinking process. The author found the black and green hats most comfortable and the yellow hat least comfortable initially, but grew to like it after practicing staying optimistic. They concluded that wearing multiple hats is sometimes necessary to complete a task.

Stop motion evaluation
Frankie Wright created a stop motion animation project to evaluate summer options. They found developing a narrative difficult but used paper and pens which were easy materials. Frankie drafted a few ideas but struggled with being creative. They worked alone which allowed flexibility but limited ideas compared to collaborating. Resources were limited to what was available in their room.

- 2. I wear a white hat most of the time…my work requires I do a great deal of data analyses. Wearing a white hat is familiar. BUT… What I really love is thinking up and playing with new ideas including how to use data so I love going green and being creative.
- 3. I’m not happy wearing a black hat, being cautious or discussing what won’t work. When I work at discussions of risk, I feel like a woman wearing a black hat with a mourning veil. It has to be done, but I don’t like it. I also don’t like wearing the intuitive hat, since being too spontaneous keeps me from finishing projects on schedule.
- 4. In working with my teams for this class, I have tended to be very BLUE in my couture to complete projects in the short time allotted. For this assignment, I spent time being logical to mine data, and being creative with some silly ideas. I spent little time being intuitive, and didn’t have much time to be cautious although noted a team mate doing that uncharacteristically. I like to wear the Yellow hat best with the team: that we can achieve our task when we work together!
