[This is the first in a series of documents, available only to paying subscribers, outlining the key questions to ask yourself in designing a creative workflow that can help you cultivate your ideas, no matter what profession you happen to be in. Each one will include an annotated list of tools and essays to help you take what I call a “creative inventory” of both the software apps and the real-world habits that shape your idea generation and cultivation. I’d love to hear more strategies in the comments and will keep updating these documents as new possibilities come in.]

“Ideas are fragile. If they were resolved, they would not be ideas, they would be products. It takes determined effort not to be consumed by the problems of a new idea.”

— Jony Ive
