Find an abandoned media cart -- a microwave cart serves the purpose equally well -- and outfit it with empty oatmeal containers, coffee cans, baby food jars, and dollar store quality tackle boxes. Fill those containers with buttons and dominoes, yarn and corks, wood ends and glass beads, checkers and LEGO and the sorts of bits and pieces of ephemera that seem to serve no other purpose.
Put in your room. Make a deliberate choice each week to use these materials for brainstorms and mapping, ideating and demonstrating, setting aside laptops and devices and even pen and paper for a spell, to think in 3-D dimensions and unlock the ideas that present themselves when we remember what it is like to play.
