Why Ludi-Q’s?
Someone needed to expose the unspoken ludicrous questions that exist beneath the surface of our everyday interactions, so we did.
What’s so bad about unspoken ludicrous questions?
They undermine us, confuse us, create way too much drama, and make it harder for us to be ourselves. Basically, unspoken ludicrous questions are usually behind what’s got us mad, sad, bad, and had.
How can Ludi-Q’s improve my life?
They give you eyes to see what most people miss, and they do it fast. People say Ludi-Q’s help them size up situations faster, cut the drama, and make clearer choices. They tell us this gives them more confidence and control over their lives.
Why the ring of cards?
They are fast, portable, sortable, and handy. Yes, we could have buried the questions in a 200-page book, but why would we do that to you? Your time is valuable so we found a better way, a faster way that is actually more effective than a book?
For several reasons:
They get to the point quickly.
They grab you. Your subconscious knows ludicrous questions exist, but your conscious mind is surprised to see them in black and white.
The engage your brain. It notes your new desire to spot unspoken ludicrous questions makes you more aware of them. This is similar to the experience of becoming interested in a particular kind of car and suddenly seeing it everywhere.
The awareness lasts. Once you get it you’ve got it. The ability to spot unspoken ludicrous questions is in place. You can develop and refine it, but the basic awareness is present.
Why so many types of Ludi-Q’s?
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to spot the unspoken ludicrous questions in every aspect of your life. Dozens of relevant decks are waiting their turn to meet you.
What do I do with Ludi-Q’s once I buy them?
There are many ways to use Ludi-Q’s. Here are some:
-
Shuffle, Scan, Swap, Spark.
Shuffle through the cards a few times when you first open them and as often as you wish after that. Each time you do this, your awareness is raised, your mind is alerted, and your eyes are further tuned to see unspoken ludicrous questions. Trust this automatic process.
Scan the cards for the questions that seem most significant to you. Of those, choose one or two as your focus. Scan your life to see where these particular questions fit. Place the cards where you’ll see them so you’ll remain aware of your intention.
Swap your current answers to ludicrous questions with a better one. Maybe it’s swapping a yes for a no, or a yes for a maybe or I’ll think about it. Maybe it’s swapping silence for speaking up. It’s up to you and in your own time.
Spark discussion, clearer communication, and new awareness.
Let the cards speak for you.
In certain situations, you can use a Ludi-Q to speak for you. For example, when the person in your life or work that rips on you and calls it constructive criticism. Hand over the card when it happens next time, or before.
Generate conversations with friends/family.
People tell us they love bringing Ludi-Q’s out when they’re hanging out with friends. The questions spark lively conversations and usually lead to new clarities.
Send a message. Ludi users report taping the cards to their office door as a subtle statement of awareness. Yes, it’s funny, but with a message that can set the stage for helpful and direct conversations. Some call it a prevention tool.
Give them as gifts.
Ludi-Q’s are one of those gifts that capture attention and they are as appropriate for people who aren’t into self-help as those who are. Plus, men, women and young people all relate to them. And don’t forget the helping professionals you know, like therapists and life coaches. Ludi-Q’s are a great tool for them.
Use them as workshop tools in professional and civic environments.
Teach your children with Ludi-Q’s.
Kids catch on quickly to the gist of Ludi-Q’s and have a good time coming up with their own. Ludi-Q’s can help families see both sides of situations and issues.
Use them to speed up clarity with your therapist or life coach.
Use them as a mediation tool.
Ludi-Q’s set an impressive stage for both sides of an issue getting their points made. First, use an existing ring of cards to convey the idea of the ludicrous, unspoken question. Then springboard to the issue at hand. What ludicrous questions does each side believe the other is asking? Once those are known, the discussion and strategies can emerge.
Do a Ludi-Sweep.
Sweep your policies and procedures manuals and protocols to spot the unspoken ludicrous questions your company or organization is unknowingly asking its employees, customers, vendors. You will be amazed at the results! (See “A School That Makes Sense.”)
