what does thinking out of the box mean
Thinking outside the box Thinking outside the box (also thinking out of the box[1][2] or thinking beyond the box and, especially in Australia, thinking outside the square[3]) is a metaphor that means to think differently, unconventionally, or from a new perspective. This phrase often refers to novel or creative thinking. The term is thought to derive from management consultants in the 1970s and 1980s challenging their clients to solve the "nine dots" puzzle, whose solution requires some lateral thinking.[4] This phrase can also be found commonly in dance, as encouragement to move creatively, beyond simple, geometric box steps and their basic variations, to literally step outside the box into more complex patterns of expression.
Out of Mind, Out of Sight (song) "Out of Mind, Out of Sight" is the title single by Australian new wave rock band Models from their album of the same name.[2] It was released in June 1985[1] and was their most successful single, which peaked at No. 1 on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart.[3] The album followed in August on Mushroom Records with Nick Launay, Reggie Lucas and Mark Opitz producing and reached No. 3 on the related albums chart.[3][4]
