Give it a name.

When you come up with a concept, parti, or stray idea, give it a name. “Half-eaten donut,” “eroded cube,” “cleaved mass,” “meeting of strangers,” and other such monikers will help you explain to yourself what you have created. As the design pro- cess evolves and stronger concepts surface, allow new pet names to emerge and your old pet names to grow obsolete.
