Muse — dive into big ideas

이미지
Principles for deep work tools Muse is a digital workspace for thinking. This is somewhat unprecedented: typically  thinking work  is supported by analog tools like a sketchbook, a whiteboard, or post-it notes on a wall. Computers are more often involved in the later stages of the creative process:  production work  like writing a book, making a slide deck, or designing an interface. Muse is your creative sanctuary for the thinking work you do before that production work begins. Use it to push yourself mentally and emotionally as far as you can go to find a pure, original, fresh result that is yours and yours alone. To that end, here are some principles we used in designing Muse as a tool purpose-built for thinking. 1. Thinking is messy. Embrace the non-linear chaos of creativity. Don’t force labels, organization, or structure too early. Keep representations low-fidelity to avoid sliding into production work before the idea is fully-formed. 2. Ideas come from other ideas.
