IS THAT A YELLOW OR BLUE QUESTION?

Another helpful tool I plan to utilize in the future is ‘color

questioning’. “Is That a Yellow or Blue Question?” thinkertoy
seems like a good tool to help you organize your
priorities. It is easy to get overwhelmed when you are

dealing with multiple issues you would like to work on.
This activity can help me prioritize my problems or tasks I
wish to accomplish. It helps me focus my energies and
limited resources on high priority challenges.

If one issue come up, I can ‘color code’ it. This activity
suggests labeling neutral or objective questions/issues as

yellow. Green question would signify creative questions.
Blue labels positive and hopeful questions while the color
black labels negative questions such as “what cannot be

done?” While working on bus conversions, a lot of issues
come up for each project. It can be overwhelming,
especially when starting from scratch on a project.
