Neat little boxes in our heads

I like frameworks, mental models, processes — method to the madness. I like taking a very abstract and messy topic and putting it in order in my own head and for others if I can help it.

A lot of people think this is too right-brained. That not everything can be put into a framework or a process drawn around every single thing we do as humans. While I agree with this — I continue to notice and argue that the number of tasks, or ‘madnesses,’ that can not have a method to them are too few.

For those of you who consider yourself left-brained and believe frameworks are boring, here’s something to think about. Do you like metaphors or analogies? Then you like to put things in neat boxes as well. Like me.
