Mixing Planning, Creating, and Editing in One Session

Planning, creating, and editing are three different cognitive modes. Planning is strategic. Creating is generative and messy. Editing is critical and precise. Trying to do them simultaneously is like pressing the gas and brake at once — you burn energy and go nowhere.

Separate them. First plan what you'll make. Then create freely without judging. Then edit with fresh eyes. Each phase works better when the others stay out of the way.
