The Long Hallway

A creative project is a bit like a long hallway with multiple chambers. As you navigate down the hallway, you reach checkpoints where critical decisions must be made, and a door closes behind you. There are three questions you should ask at those checkpoints:

1. Who else needs to know about this?

2. What do I need right now?

3. What am I not considering?

On this episode, I elaborate on these three questions and offer some tips for crafting a process that’s sane and helpful to your work.
