Somehow they are more real and allow less distractions than digital devices. That enables you to focus on what’s important, to develop something cool.

2. Creative workspace

Put the cards on walls. Build clusters or grids. Restructure. Make a map of who does what. A time-line of when things will be handled. A pile of cards in priority order.
