Yup… Reshonda can tell you: I’m still biased and my process is still beset with heuristic biases. First phone conference, I slipped into my usual analytic/ linear thinking and examined the lists of words trying to find patterns and clues. I am still having a hard time changing my way of thinking from linear to, well, multidimensional… And it’s hard to steer away from those well grooved tracks that are heuristic biases.

However…

Second phone conference, I put Reshonda under the spotlight. Her insightful remarks led me to finally associate ‘Spoon’ with ‘Intestines’ and ‘Wean’, and had me visualize a synergy between form and content. Also, writing down notes on the  ongoing conversation, I realized just how I wanted to redesign my concept map for improved visual clarity especially that I was now going to look for connections between a hundred different concepts.

A couple of ‘thinking wrong’ victories: holding back my opinions and restarting instead of adapting an existing project to fit into a changing thought process.
