As an architect, I want to say "thank you".
Awesome! Thanks. ;)
Nice video, Mike! I like how to thumbnailed and titled this in a catchy yet still professional manner.
As a student researcher, I find that your message also rings true in research projects. I have recently critiqued the research proposal of an underclassman of mine because he didn't know how to continue. In the follow-up, he admitted to not having progressed much, even with the resources I shared with him, as well as not removing a paragraph that I told would be pretty pointless to keep because he'll spend more time finding a way to transition that to introduce a new concept he could integrate to his draft readily. I asked him if he followed my advice to stop writing and research first, prioritising the breadth of his topic before trying to learn the depth of it, and he admitted to not doing so. I find that in some creative aspects of my projects, especially in the brainstorming phase, documenting mostly anything, absurd as they may be, that comes into mind and seriously acknowledging them is a crucial part of the process. However, I find that before executing any idea I fancy, it is more efficient and therefore more effective that I take a bit longer than I think I should on investigating whether such an endeavour will likely produce the results that I want with the resources that I have. Rather that than brute-forcing my way through only to realise in the middle that it is not as feasible as I think, only continuing to hold onto a thing because of sunk costs. In his case, he held onto that paragraph that he still thinks is valuable not because it indeed is, but because he already spent all that time thinking and researching for concepts that he could transition into after that paragraph. His draft ended up looking sloppy, with a paragraph that looks out of place. Thankfully, it's still a draft of his proposal, and he had not yet “shoveled the cement” and tried to build his research without a solid plan.
YES! YES! YES! This comment right here: 👆. This is exactly what I'm getting at and you said it so well. I hope your student listens to you, not just because his paper will be better, but because he will gain a life skill if he takes the time to go general and broad and work his way to detail and depth. Thanks for taking the time to share, @Maye. Also, thanks for the kind words regarding the title and thumbnail. Let's hope the YT algo feels the same way about it. ;)
great video !!
Thanks
Thanks! I had a good time making it. :)
How do you know when you're done? Seems you could keep zooming in on the details forever ha ;) Great video Mike!
Gosh, that's true-always figuring it out, but never actually building it. Thanks, Sarah!
YOUS friend NATTYBALL looks nice.
Yes, yes, NATTYBALL is a swell guy. Nicest fellah in town. ;)
@@MikeGastin you’re also really nice. I think your idea does work. I’ve done this for a project and I’m still focused on it. It helps visualize it.
Thanks, Eric. I bet you're nice, too. :) And, yes, I think this approach works well, especially for complex projects where you have a vision of the end, but no idea how to get there.
