Use the Napkin 2015

Billions of ideas are forgotten each day due to lack of timely documentation. Once disposed from the mind, they become  hopeless and homeless. A single-ply hero is here for the rescue, tough enough to serve as canvas for your next world-changing thought or your insightful observation. Save your ideas, use the napkin!

Creative Mind Forward presents a new project intended to boost creative thinking and idea documentation at coffee shops across the United States, engaging creatives of all types and ages.

Instructions:
No sweat – this is simple!

Napkin finders:
See the “small mess or big idea” napkin at your local coffee shop? Use it to write down an idea that skips through your head. Or give the napkin away and contribute to someone else’s eureka moment!

Spread the word on social media! Take a picture, use #UseTheNapkin tag and @CreativeMindForward to share your genius with friends. Don’t forget to mention your coffee shop as well to thank them for supporting your ideas and this project!

Coffee shop employees and owners:
Show your customers that ideas matter and they will tell their friends about you. Support the project and you may just become famous for  being “the spot” where breakthrough ideas originate!

creativethinkers

Buy the napkins for your coffee shop and you will receive a “Creative Thinkers are Welcome” decal for your window – a token of recommendation from Creative Mind Forward! For each napkin that you get, one napkin will be donated to a new location. This is a humble no-profit project. Request the napkins at jerrie.lyndon@gmail.com.

Kind apologies to coffee-shops that were ” guerilla napkined” against their will. We will not do it again unless you email us to express interest in continuing to be a part of the project.

Current locations for “Use the Napkin” project:
Boston, MA
New York, NY
Washington, DC

Want to spearhead this project in your city? Email us for more details at jerrie.lyndon@gmail.com
