Why simple methods are often the best

Stone Mapping doesn't work because it's "magical," but because it utilizes something very fundamental:

It forces you to bring diffuse thoughts into a clear form - and to do so playfully. As soon as the first stone is placed, you forget thinking and become engrossed in your own game. It always works.

This has three effects:

• You reduce complexity
• You recognize patterns faster
• You gain distance from your own thinking

Especially for people who analyze a lot, precisely this simplicity can be surprisingly effective.

Not as a substitute for thinking – but as a complement. This always results in a new perspective and an opportunity to do something differently.
