This was just excellent Tim. A concise and useful framework for walking that line between planning and production. I love how your tension model creates a context for understanding why we're actually drawn to both of these modes (because they're both important!) and then clarifies how a balance between the two is essential. Your graphics are also simple and clear.
Thanks Rick! I’m a sucker for 2x2s. And I didn’t even go to business school. My word for this year is CLARITY and I’m hoping to help others do the same!
I especially found this resonated with me as I reflected on my time managing "creatives." There's a fine line between sketching and outlining...and the time where you need to produce that final product. I always felt I was hurting people's creative spirit, but I realize now I was pushing people to action.
I have felt the weight of all the work/morning/life hacks I see on social media. I want a system that works for me, and am open to new ideas, but the paralysis of analysis is real. This was a great and needed reminder that i can (and should!) categorize all that into “not for me.” As I sat down this morning to write, this was timed perfectly for me. Thanks for writing.
