Doodle Before You Draw that Masterpiece

“Before I got married I had six theories about raising children; now, I have six children and no theories.” _John Wilmot

Sometimes there is a wide gap between “in theory this should work” and something actually working in real time.

But…

Don’t be afraid of the theoretical…think of it as “mental doodling”.

Of course the ultimate goal is to have a rock-solid, proven plan that works. But spending time with the theoretical buys you time without having to put skin in the game just yet.

The ONE THING for today: Doodle before you draw. Sometimes a scratchpad can be your best friend when you’re trying to figure something out.
