Tago: Slowburns is a way of working that i teach, that you can only do if you have a second brain. And i contrast slow burns with what i call heavy lifts. They're like ominous, set aside, you know, multiple days. Take the whole week end. I'm going to take this whole month. But as life goes on, that time gets more and more scarce. Tago: We really wanted our wedding to be easy. We wanted it to be carefree.

Stop completing your projects via “heavy lifts” – grueling slogs of painful work where you create everything from scratch. There is another way – you can slowly gather ideas, in the background and over time, using “slow burns.” Once the project gets underway, you’ll already have a rich collection of interesting ideas, insights, examples, facts, and illustrations that you can easily combine together without burning yourself out.
