My dining room table has been taken over by an A1 Flipchart Pad and black Sharpies.
No lines. More space.
I can’t work in ruled notebooks. Diagrams, arrows, and pictures are messed up by the light blue lines that stretch across the page.
A piece of A4 paper is also cramped. There isn’t enough space to properly explore an idea.
Perhaps the biggest benefit of an A1 Flipchart, though, is the feeling of openness and possibility each time I approach the pad.
Whatever the idea or topic, there is space to explore, the freedom to make mistakes, and the opportunity to try again.
