Purposedifferent | Views and Beyond organizes architecture into several views so no single diagram has to do everything at once.

The method connects estimating, deciding, and buffer thinking so planning fits available energy and time. | For easily distracted solo work, the method sets clear time boundaries for concentrated work. It protects attention when large tasks would otherwise fall apart into small avoidance moves. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. |
