I've designed six different fridge magnets based on the concept of the Six Thinking Hats. Used as fridge magnets, they can hold notes and help you considering ideas from different points of view for you alone or with your family/co-workers.

*Each thinking hat represents one lens/perspective/style of thinking. Try "wearing" different hats and look at the decision through each.

If you're in a group, you can assign the hats to everyone to get a balanced discussion. Or you can go through different perspectives as a whole group.

Here's what each hat is about:

• 🟡 Yellow hat is about positivity. Try seeing the benefits of this decision and what opportunities it opens.
• 🟢 Green hat represents creativity. Let your mind run free and generate ideas without censoring them. Try coming up with creative options and solutions. Tools like the Productive Thinking Model or First Principles can help you.
• 🔴 Red hat is about emotions. How do you feel about this? Use your intuition and gut feelings. Try to see how others might react emotionally. It's a great way to bring emotions into an otherwise rational process.
• ⚪ White hat makes you focus on the data. Analyze the available data and trends. This represents a very rational approach.
• ⚫ Black hat represents looking at the downside. What are the worst-case scenarios? Take a defensive approach, imagine any potentially negative outcomes, see what might not work. Inversion might be a helpful tool here.
• 🔵 Blue hat is for controlling the process. Especially in meetings, it's good to be able to step in when there's no progress and enable the group to move forward (e.g. by shifting the thinking or discussion to a different hat/perspective).

The holes are suitable for magnets with 8mm diameter and height of 2 or 3mm.
