Part of what restricts us seeing things is that we have an expectation about what we will see, and we are actually perceptually restricted by that expectation.

The art of project management includes the dance between velocity and possibility.
If you describe the outcome with specificity and remove as many variables as possible, you’ll get the work done with more speed, higher reliability and less cost.
That velocity, though, might encourage us to recognize that all sorts of options are available. There are countless chances to make the project better and to find new opportunities.
Exploring the possibilities in moments of high velocity almost certainly ensures that costs will increase, reliability will be impacted and you’ll miss deadlines.
That’s because possibility is the art of being willing to be wrong. It’s exploration. It’s far easier to explore on foot than it is on a high-speed train.
The best time to explore is before you scale your investments, your commitments and the size of the team.
We seek both velocity and possibility, but not at the same time.
capital demands design address the hyper-specific moment of The Now; the site of consumption, of transaction. Thats all it cares for; where it eats. But we all live in the permanent ruins of what is created for that moment. designers should design them instead. that is our world.

I could become an actor. I could become a great novelist. I could become a CEO. I could be Elon Musk II. But the way the world works is you don achieve anything unless you have limits Having limits and hitting that wall and that resistance is what makes you learn is what makes you great is how the human brain functions

Taste is about preference. When someone has "good taste" they have well-refined preferences. Taste sounds like a snotty term that a sommelier uses, but we all have tastes, even if we're not talking about taste in full-bodied reds from Northern Italy. We have taste in music, taste in design, and taste in literature (even if your literature is banger... See more

Co-creation value adds. 1) When you're stuck with creating something, your co-creator nudges you because they're not going to be stuck on the same thing as you are. So no more writer's block, creative block, etc. They will jump in to push the creation into a version that you could have never imagined. 2) The editing process is much, much faster
