The combinations of 2 things

Sofa Bed

Sofa that can be made into a bed. I think that this is very useful as you can use it for two purposes and it save a lot of space.

a toothbrush that includes a tongue cleaner attached behind it. So, its like 2 in 1. I think that this made a alot easier as you do not have to do two things and different time but you can do it at the same time.

 A mechanical pencil with a small eraser attached to it. More convenient compared to just a pencil and an eraser itself and perhaps,save cost.

LATERAL THINKING

Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach. Involving ideas that is not commonly used and out of the box. Not traditionally step by step logic.

Examples of Lateral thinking

-Need to iron a shirt, but no iron. How?

Use other things to iron the shirt for example, a frying pan.

                - "You cannot dig a hole in a different place by digging the same hole deeper"

This means that trying harder in the same direction may not be as useful as changing direction. Effort in the same direction (approach) will not necessarily succeed.

Mind mapping uses a lot of time to think, associations and connections between key words and ideas not readily apparent. Other information may be missed while noting down one idea. Take longer to read and review. Attention wanders easily.

First, generate a topic that you are focusing on. Second, draw branches from the main topic, keep it less than 2-3 words for all so that it will be more easier to remember. Third, Make more branches off of the main topic. Try to extend thoughts from one idea to the next.

Chopstick stilletto

 The heel of the stilletto can be replace to chopsticks. Not only using one pair but a lot of pair to stabilize it.

Can also be use for wedges. Wedges might be more stablize compare to stilletto..

Chopstick broom
http://www.pingganmangkuk.com/webshaper/pcm/pictures/bm/broom0109_l.jpg

This chopstick broom can be useful for carpets or maybe rough flooring. As chopstick is hard it might collect/gather the rubbish or small particles on the floor. Wood chopstick would be a better choice to make a broom.

The chopstick can be used to curl up wires so that it will not get tangled, or maybe can be used to make your hair curl. Based on my knowledge, if you curl your hair using your fingers(like constanly curl it or play with it), your hair will eventually get curl or become the shape that you make or definitely using a hair curler. Why not try it with chopsticks? It might eventually work and it might be better than using your fingers. :)

Chopstick stick/walking stick
http://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/images.antiques-atlas.co.uk/dealer-stock-images/ortonantiques/Malacca_Cane_Walking_Stick_as198a183b.jpg

This might sound ridiculous or impossible. But that is the first thing that came to my mind. Chopstick may not be strong enough but Chopsticks maybe. Just gather a lot and a lot of chopstick together and  make it the height that you want, decorate it , tie it or glue or whatsoever and there you go Chopstick stick. Its better if you just get the actual walking stick to be safe if you need one. XD

Chopstick to scratch!
http://www.colonialmedical.com/images/detailed/p_1073_1306865135.jpg

Use chopstick to scratch your back! The end point of the chopstick would work, it would be better if you use the wooden chopstick because it is not only hard but the edges are quite sharp...No need to get a scratch-er or what, just grab the chopstick beside/infront of you or in the kitchen.

Chopstick brush~~~

 and AGAIN be creative! Don't always have to use brush to paint or whatsoever, use it to create texture, movement and maybe emotions? The brush can be replace to chopstick instead!
