This weekend was nice in that I gave myself the gift of doing nothing demanding other than taking some ideas I have been thinking about and acting on them. Or, as I should point out, let ideas act on me.
 
The hard thing for me is the "start." I have a habit of thinking too far down the process chain which limits my ability to just kick off an idea for exploration. Sometimes, I have to trick myself into producing an idea. If too much thought goes into the outcome, I usually end up over-thinking the initiation and, consequently, changing the idea's focus to be a means to the final product. This, often, results in an incomplete realization of a good idea because the idea was turned into a product long before the idea had a chance to inform the final product. Does that make sense?
 
The goal to let ideas inform the outcome, rather than the other way around, is the essence of the Art vs. Design question.
