The Orginaztion chpt. of Launching the Imagination

This was a very appropriate chapter for our first reading in Time Based Media class. Basically through the entire chapter, they discussed how to be organized and not to bog yourself down. Creativity cannot be manifested at a moments notice, but it can be cultivated. One must try to find the balance between being super safe, and risk taking, outgoing but introverted, open to new ideas, but able to be closed and focus to your own. All were very helpful in drawing attention to the kinds of traits I need to be an accomplished artist. It went on to give a way to find out what kind of artist you are and how to categorize and organize your goals through post-it notes. The method included making four categories and putting your post it notes into them. The end of the chapter went on to discuss collaboration and how artist must discuss ideas with each other and cooperate well with each other to create lets say 20 ft pieces of transitioning drawings.

I found the post it note thing very helpful and new. It was definitely not something I had thought of before. And the collaboration thing too seemed helpful. Its imperative we learn to communicate ideas well, because out in the real world that's all we'll be doing is talking back and forth about our work, fixing it, changing it realizing it in full form. I also liked the circle-graphs that lead to improved self-confidence- it definitely looked like a Disney influence "confidence builder" thing.

My question; While I though the post-it note idea was great. It was a way to relieve stress and set reasonable goals. BUUUT it seemed like it required too much of my time to do. I don't think I have enough time or space to have that anywhere. It's too structured and unstructured at the same time. Would there be better alternative?
