Oblique Strategies are intended to inspire your mind and excite creative strategies in an artist, engineer, or anyone who is grappling with a problem they cannot solve. This is an ideal solution for writer's block and breaking dilemma situations. They encourage lateral thinking and question the traditional approach.

The Oblique Strategies is created by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt in 1975 and is intended to help in solving problems, boost creativity, and inspire new ways of thinking.

Finally.

I first read about the oblique strategies when I was a teenager in London. The idea's always appealed to me. But the card decks always seemed crazy expensive. This app has been in my phone for about six months. I've used it to break logjams in my professional and personal life. And it's implementation- spare, non fussy, intuitive- gives it a short learning curve and makes it useful every time. Can't recommend it enough.

Just another creative type ,

Interesting

Let me preface this by saying I have a bit of a predisposition against digital reformatting of analog media - you just can't beat having a tangible object to play around with. That being said, in this situation (with the price of a physical deck of Oblique cards being what it is), I do enjoy the app quite a bit. I haven't had any significant creative breakthroughs as a result of using it, but it does offer a promising platform for facilitated introspection. I'll continue to use it to cross-reference design decisions and while I don't expect it to present to me any silver bullets, I do believe it's a worthwhile exercise to indulge the philosophies contained within these "cards".

Notes and repeated card

I think this is great! My painting instructor from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago recommended the deck or the app. The app is a good way to have them all in one place whether you're in the studio, class, or on public transportation. The one thing I'm not a fan of is that the the cards repeat and I'm not sure why. Also I can't look back on the notes I took in the note section of the app. If anyone knows the answers to this please let me know! I tried contacting the app developers but they only have twitter, and I don't.
