I love a simple framework.
The best ones can help put structure around anything that feels overwhelming or scattered - a way to get everything out, group and organise what’s there, and find a way to see the wood for the trees.
They can be especially useful for the content of our heads, when it feels like we have so much we want to say, but don’t know how to say it.
One of my favourites is this one - the SCQuARE process.
