You're right about consultants - we're always seeking to improve, but starting from a blank piece of paper is hard - much easier to edit a draft.
I find that getting some thoughts 'down on paper' - actually more likely to be Evernote these days, sets my subconscious going on the problem anyway. I keep coming back and adding a bit more.
Then I have a proper session to try to sort it out - kinda like you suggest.
Iām all about the versions! Ship fast, learn fast, iterate! š
This is a great strategy Ian.

Works for me!

Excellent. I think for me the big step that made a huge difference was (finally) being brave enough to share some of those early drafts publicly.
From one "terribly dysfunctional weirdo" to another, this brilliantly simple approach to my work has already helped. Thank you Ian!
Us weirdos gotta stick together. Glad it helped!
