I have been following Dave Gray’s surprising hashtag, #visualframeworks on Twitter where he provides a visual frame of some kind, usually, but not always, a flow chart. Why? He answers this in his tweet thread here. And here is one of his #visualframeworks tweets that I respond to below:
What might you explore or explain with this visual framework? #visualframeworks pic.twitter.com/tCuwezuKfL

Here is my response:
A response to this visual framework is a motto I wish I followed more often in my life, but now I have this picture on my whiteboard to remind me to think for myself (with you as a guide on the side, of course) pic.twitter.com/Do6iprN7jT

I recommend these tools as a way to rewild your visual imagination much as Dave Snowden has done with his “linguistic aporia” here.
All of these are ways to shift one’s routine, tame stance a little or a lot. Lots of my best ideas come from the framework that Gray suggests here, a clash that strikes creative sparks.

I’m curious, Terry, what thought process you went through that resulted in your interpretation of this visual framework?

The arrows were ‘forces’. Someone else pushing agin me. I have had these quotes/mottos in my head. It seemed like the visual framework fit. And the struggle is not necessarily bad. I will try to follow this a little more for you tomorrow.

My regular journey through your blog and Tweets is always rewarded with some surprises. This Visual Frameworks thread on Twitter is really interesting.
If someone went through my tutormentor.blogspot.com articles and looked at the visualizations they might see some of Dave’s frameworks. On the other hand, after looking at my articles, and Dave’s frameworks, they might create new visualizations that tell what I’ve been trying to tell in more creative and effective ways.
