# leave a record Take notes, scribble ideas, [[get it on the page]] so you have a tangible record of the work. These artifacts are a map that tracks your progress and shows how you have gotten to where you are. If you run into a dead-end down one trail, you can go back and find a new path to explore. If you need to explain your ideas to someone, you have visual aids to support your thoughts and ideas. > Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. > > ― Ralph Waldo Emerson --- tags: #creativity #process home: [[! creative process]]
