Create like a kid

Adults have preconceived notions of many things. An essay has to be this long; a video must have that structure; X app needs to have Y feature. Unfortunately, most of these are subconscious and hinder our work.

Children don’t. Two triangle magnetic tiles form an airplane; a long messy chain of Lego blocks is a train; an open book is a fence to keep the Big Bad Wolf out.

If only we could recognize our biases and then create without them.
