2. Adaptive vs. Innovative Thinking

Definition: Adaptive thinkers improve existing ideas; innovative thinkers create new ones.

Example: I might improve my cat litter by adding scents (adaptive), but I could also invent a cat diaper (innovative).

Application: When working on a project, decide whether to enhance what you have or invent something new. If you're studying, you might adapt your study routine or create a completely new one.
