Why to be lost is to be humbled by your ignorance.


Yes. Long its been. But it is true that for the best effect of this argument I have to admit that I have had no or very little time to prepare.

Research is usually easy to conduct as long as you are rigorous about your choice of matter. Another big issue here it is how you handle records, how do you file them, how do you keep track of them.

Concerning analysis, this relates to the closer scrutiny of your further selected material, which is more specific and meaningful, in the rational sense. i.e. it makes sense.
Analysis is tricky because itself constitutes a whole new world, where de data you have collected starts to be charged with interpretation(s), namely meaning. This means that not only to look into your data, but that you move it around to connect it or to built and argument that brings you forward. At this point your material is creative material and informs the creation, creations or outcomes of your thing to be achieved or more specifically, brief.

Experimentation is something that deals with this creative actions you undertaken, in which a series of creative or non-creative options are laid out and tested, in order to choose the best option, i.e. I have 5 recipes for making chocolate; I make them, taste them, choose the most delicious, and explain why this is the most delicious (the amount of hazelnuts was just about right and was the recipes with the least milk). Therefore this laying out of options and will to find the best analytically should be a prevailing attitude where a comparative mode persists.

So have we have dealt with what generates your outcome, but we need to have a finished, marketable, end product. This then deals with something than can be conveyed and sold.
This means we are dealing with the resolution of a thing or thing of things. Here is where the end product is presented as a sole-standing entity. None of your research background will be directly visible, but rather will inform the outcome. This means that throughout the project there should have been, or should be at the end at least, a running thread across your production, that jumps from resources consultation, to making or producing a critical outcome that steams from your varied analysis to a sole-standing creation which artfully combines all the previous stages.
In this process not all is rational, and sometimes there are intuitive leaps which we should embrace, as intuition is a much powerful force than proven knowledge (long time to produce, sometimes dry, too assertive).

The toughest part of the process is keeping a balance between these stages and delivering a successful project in a timely manner, which come down to a calmly outlined plan, which always end up changing as the project runs, but that nevertheless should be carried out, as it provides you with perspective of the overall running of the thing.
It is important then, in terms of perspective not too get to manic with the minute detail of the project as it would be in detriment of other parts of the project. Like in a system, when too much energy is being put in an area, it means that other areas are undergoing a shortage of resources. Balance is key and it requires a zoom in-zoom out exercise to keep the boat running under control, to most precisely avoid the dry eyes condition,which means you have been doing the same for too long and that you should move forward.   Blind eyes condition also usually happens to me, as you get your eyes to close to an issue and you keep scratching your head around it with no resolution; being stuck but without realising. Running, sleeping, socialising, a walk, sex, food or a number of alternative practices usually act as clarifiers (not that we have to instrumentalize what we do in order to complete a project) in this process and help to zoom out. Important here to distinguish here between work and non-work, as non-work is that, a moment to enjoy other company, to empatize or whatever that it is, so it shouldn't be seen as a pro-work strategy, but as a way to keep a personal balance that is never stabilized and therefore requires shifting. There is indeed beauty in every corner (as well as dirt and beautiful dirt) as well as misery and despair, it is in this shifting that we encounter them but that we also manage to keep walking ahead.
