A state in the Maker's Loop
The Dreamer
- Has Imagination
- Missing Invention
- Missing Insight
Imagination alone is the Dreamer. Wouldn't it be amazing if… But nothing gets made.
What it feels like
Your head is full of things that should exist. The notes app is a graveyard of good ideas, and every one of them still looks perfect, because none of them has met the real world yet.
What's missing
Invention and Insight. An idea that never gets built never gets tested, so it never gets better. It just stays an idea.
One move to complete the loop
Pick one idea and build the ugliest version that could be switched on, held or used, this week. Then hand it to one person and watch what happens.
