It\u2019s also a handy way to banish writers\u2019 block.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Collect a bunch of objects, randomly. They could be the ten items nearest to you now. Or whatever you are able and allowed to collect in one basket on a quick tour of your building.<\/li>\n<li>Now pick whichever of these items most appeals to you in whatever way seems to present itself. There are no \u2018right or wrong\u2019 choices.<\/li>\n<li>Then ask yourself this question: &#8216;How does this object relate to a project or problem I\u2019m working on?&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>And start writing your answer on a page or a screen.<\/li>\n<li>You have <strong>5 minutes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what I wrote in a recent workshop, led by <a href=\"https:\/\/reading-writing-results.com\/trevor-day\/\">Trevor Day<\/a>\u00a0for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amed.org.uk\/group\/amedwritersgroup\">AMED Writers Group<\/a>. Trevor provided a selection of objects for us on a table.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve picked a magnifying glass, which resonates immediately with me in two ways.<\/p>\n<p>One is a memory of old detective stories. Wasn\u2019t Sherlock Holmes always looking at clues through such a glass?<\/p>\n<p>The second is the focus that a magnifying glass produces, which connects with my approach to change &#8211; A Solutions Focus.<\/p>\n<p>So the challenge is getting my live in-the-room training programmes repurposed and replenished for an online audience, and of course finding that audience.<\/p>\n<p>Finding them with a magnifying glass? Well, not literally. But could make a good start by taking a closer look at who\u2019s already connected online and by investigating what\u2019s hot in the world of online learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This turned out to be a helpful prompt, leading me to some useful actions.
