Sometimes—okay, let’s be honest, usually—when I try to plan something, I get stuck. It’s because I’m terrible at planning things. When there are more than three things to juggle in my head I start dropping them, and adding time just makes everything worse. Getting the ideas out of my head and onto paper helps—sometimes. But sometimes I just stop planning and start doing, with the (naive, optimistic) assumption that I’ll figure things out as I go along. Sometimes it works.
Sometimes it doesn’t.
