This was such an enjoyable read and super timely for me. I don’t think enough of us really consider what we’re trying to answer – I know it’s the weakest pint in my content process. Great example with the Tupperware, too.

Thanks for checking it out. I’m always reminding myself to look more closely at the problem… when I get stuck it’s usually because I don’t understand enough what I’m trying to accomplish… would love to know more about how this idea relates to your work.

Here’s an example – stories come easily to me when I’m writing. Longer arguments are different. Usually I’ll have an idea to propel me forwards with excitement, I’ll add in lots of things that have energy to them and realise that I’m not answering a core problem anymore because I’ve added too many different sub-ideas in. I don’t enjoy the heavy editing process to bring it back to the core problem or thesis so continually thinking of a way to make that easier.
