Narrow Frame


In a cognitive science course on Art & Perception, we learned that part of what makes us recognize art as an art object is that we understand the frame. Without the frame, we can mistake a construction for reality. 

Yesterday on a podcast I heard a successful creator speak about how he organizes his life by narrowing the frame that allows choices to flood in. This helps him reduce the cognitive load on decisions so that he can simply get to work. He produces a lot, including a daily blog.

Today I am thinking about the frames as I work on learning how to frame the commands for making this blog space. I am on day 2 here. The window of this blog is a frame, yes? I am working to narrow my frame and figure out what is essential enough to put here.
