oblique strategies

From the Oblique Strategies (Brian Eno/Peter Schmidt):

Instead of changing the thing, change the world around it.
Try faking it.
Fill every beat with something.
Do nothing for as long as possible.
Use "unqualified" people.
Make a blank valuable by putting it in an exquisite frame.
Imagine the music as a series of disconnected events.
Pay attention to distractions.
Abandon normal instruments.
A line has two sides.
Don't be afraid of things because they're easy to do.
Don't be frightened of clichés.
Don't be frightened to display your talents.
Honor thy error as a hidden intention.
Make an exhaustive list of everything you might do and do the last thing on the list.
Mute and continue.
Shut the door and listen from outside.
Trust in the you of now.
You can only make one dot at a time.
Always give yourself credit for having more than personality.
Listen to the quiet voice.
Overtly resist change.
Question the heroic approach.
Do something sudden, destructive and unpredictable.
Give the game away.
Go to an extreme, come part way back.
Choosing to withdraw in disgust is not apathy.
