ADVICE

Time Your Collaboration And Keep Partners Excited

  • Balance when to show partners work: wait long enough to answer likely questions but not so long you build the wrong thing.
  • Keep producers and allies excited by reminding them why the project matters.
ADVICE

Gatekeep Notes Intentionally

  • Gatekeep feedback: decide who and when you need notes so outside voices help, not hijack, your process.
  • Get notes on paper, list story engine parts, and evaluate them like a mechanic rather than emotionally.
INSIGHT

  • Shining light on those voices lets your rational brain question beliefs like "that's true" and reclaim choice.
