A state in the Maker's Loop
The Maker
- Has Imagination
- Has Invention
- Has Insight
Only with all three is the loop running. That's the Maker: imagining something new, building it, putting it in front of people, learning, and imagining further.
What it feels like
Ideas turn into things, things go in front of people, and what you learn feeds the next idea. Each lap is bigger than the last.
What's missing
Nothing, right now. But it's a state, not an identity. The loop stalls the moment one stage gets skipped.
One move to complete the loop
Keep the laps short. Notice which stage you're tempted to rush, because that's the one that will stall you next.
