#178 - Aug.2024 *\[merging sequence with general posts\]*

Happy Friday!

💡 Here is a quick idea before you head off to the weekend:

Ideas are like seeds. If we don’t care for them, they die. Caring means: 

- Avoid too many early constraints that prevent them from fully developing their potential.
- Turn them into something concrete. Write them down, socialize them, and build an experiment. Most ideas die in the world of abstraction.
- Look for data. Think about what is the easiest and faster way to test them.

Sure, many ideas won't fly. But we often give up too early on high-potential ideas without validating them first.

**✉️ Post from this week**

This week I wrote about the key elements of creativity: our imagination to generate ideas, our curiosity to iterate, and the courage to make decisions.
