How APT works . . . Key Concept Three state thinking

Key Concept No. 3

This symbol indicates creative or conceptual thinking
When preparing business and project plans, there can be a tendency to stifle creativity and to not 'think outside of the square'. 

To avoid this, I suggest you give yourself permission to be very creative at the start of the planning process. 

In the APT system we use the symbol to encourage creative conceptual expression. The computer people call this symbol a 'Tilde'. I like simple language, so let's call this symbol a 'squiggle'.  

All going well, you should find this squiggle symbol on the top left hand section of your computer keyboard.

Whenever you use the symbol, you are indicating that the item being described is conceptual thinking. It is a desired or ideal situation that may or may not be possible. You are not claiming it to be reality.

Another way of explaining this is to say 'when you use the  symbol, you have permission to dream'.

You will see a serious application of this concept in the Restaurant Business Plan example that I have included in this module.

Next, let me tell your about thinking.
