LOOK AROUND YOU FOR MULTIPLICATION OPPORTUNITIES

Multiplication is a powerful yet simple tool to use in your everyday routine. The key is to elevate the Multiplication mind-set so that you are more aware of your surroundings and therefore can apply the technique in a more systematic, deliberate way.

A colleague of ours, Professor David Mazursky, harnessed Multiplication in a wonderful way for an everyday problem he faced. As one of the most thoughtful, caring educators we know, David is constantly besieged by students wanting to meet to discuss their grades, their term papers, even their love lives. Sometimes these meetings drag on longer than necessary. Conscious of the line of students waiting patiently outside his door, David invented a novel solution. First, he multiplied the number of clocks in his office from the one that had always hung on the wall facing his desk to two. He then hung the second clock in a different position (the all-important change to the copy of the original): behind him on the wall facing the students. He also set that clock twenty minutes ahead of the real time. It worked splendidly. Students were more likely to end meetings sooner when they thought they were twenty minutes late for their next class.

Now, that was thinking inside the box, wasn’t it?
