How to get into Second Life without really trying

Selby Evans is Thinkerer Melville in Second Life

Final thinking is what the engineers call freezing the design.  You lay out the plans in enough detail to know what you have to do.  You decide when to start and you lay out a rough schedule.

Other names you can call it: Choosing, planning, deciding, making a commitment, convergent thinking.

Names other people may call it.  Decisiveness, determination, commitment.

What’s it for: 
Focus on a single alternative. Develop concrete plans. 
Set a schedule. 
Get other people involved as needed.

How do you do it? 
Write down the steps. 
Write on notes or cards that you can easily move around.
The important thing is to list the steps.  You can fix the order later.
If you are not sure you know all the steps, go back to draft thinking.
You still reserve the right to change your mind.
Treat this job like writing.  Clear writing causes clear thinking.
