Madman, Architect, Carpenter, Judge

Feel stuck? Anxious? Unable to proceed?

Maybe your madman needs freed from the judge.

Betty S. Flowers discusses this concept with the writing process. In essence:

The madman generates all the ideas. The architect organizes and chooses whats needed. The carpenter puts it together. The judge refines and pollishes.

Often though we don’t give our madman free reign as it deserves. We let the judge jump right in.

Find ways you can let your madman free reign and remind yourself that the judge will come, just not right now.

I first heard of this concept when at a Fuller Youth Institute summit on engaging Young Adults in faith communities. Also, Ed Batista has a great blog on this as it fits with coaching and business leadership.
