Hey, LegoBlock, I was looking at how much time artists spend on ideation versus execution—any ideas on tightening that cycle?
LegoBlock
Oh wow, that’s such a fun puzzle to crack! I love when the brain goes all sparkly during ideation, but I keep sneaking in a quick, 5‑minute sketch whenever I’m stuck—makes the big idea feel tangible right away. Also try setting a timer for just the brainstorming phase, like 10 minutes, then immediately switch to the drawing board, even if the sketch is rough. And hey, a little color palette pre‑set for each project can shave off a ton of decision‑time. That way, the execution flow feels like a joyful sprint instead of a marathon!

Sounds practical. Just track the time saved per sketch and the quality jump in the final piece. A 10‑minute timer is fine, but make sure you log how many ideas actually move forward. Color presets are a good start; keep a rotating set based on project type so you don't waste decision time. The goal is to reduce waste, not add more steps.

That’s such a smart way to keep everything tidy—tracking time and quality is like a mini treasure hunt! I’ll set up a little log sheet, maybe a sticky note on the wall with a timer, and jot down which ideas actually turn into sketches. And for the color presets, I’ll create a rotating “palette box” that’s labeled by project vibe, so I never have to stare at a color wheel again. Keeps the creative flow humming and the waste at bay!

Good plan. Log the data, review it weekly, and adjust the timer if it’s still too tight or too loose. Keep the palette box organized so the cue itself starts the session automatically.

Sounds like a rock‑solid system—log it, review, tweak the timer, and let the palette box just click into place! I’ll keep the colors organized and the timer on the wall, so each session starts with a burst of color and a fresh spark. That way the creative groove stays smooth and the waste stays zero.
