An unoriginal phrase/cliche following a conventional way of thinking used to encourage original thought and unconventional thinking, asking you do challenge the paradigm in a phrase that doesn't challenge the paradigm. Saying "Think Outside of the Box" is "Thinking Inside of the Box". This is similar in this aspect to the phrase "avoid cliches like the plague", warning against using cliches through the use of a cliche.

Get the Eat the boxmug. When one takes Adderall when one is still half asleep, whilst setting one's alarm to go off ten minutes into the future. When the alarm goes off, one will find oneself jumping up, suddenly wide awake. Popping up out of one's bed like that fey, much-celebrated children's toy of yesteryear.
