🎯 Visceral Drafts: Your Daily Thinking Tool
LIP #219
Jul 16, 2025
Visceral drafts are quick, unpolished thinking exercises designed to expose your thoughts rapidly rather than create perfect plans.
The Practice:
- Complete at least one per day (250 per year)
- Build confidence in sharing initial ideas
- Identify blind spots and create momentum
Key Techniques:
- Use Sharpies instead of pens → forces bigger, clearer titles
- Always start with a clean sheet for each iteration
- Balance acknowledging fears/frustrations without letting them dominate
- Focus on thinking and ideas over polish and presentation
The goal is to be proactive rather than reactive in your thinking process.
