Muse is your creative sanctuary for thinking work. Use it to push yourself mentally and emotionally as far as you can go to find a pure, original, fresh result that is yours and yours alone.
To that end, here are some principles we used in designing Muse as a tool purpose-built for thinking.
Thinking is messy. Embrace the non-linear chaos of creativity. Don’t force labels, organization, or structure too early.
Ideas come from other ideas. Breakthroughs come from discovering new connections between seemingly disparate pieces of information.
Ideas love a sanctuary. Creativity is an act of vulnerability. Deep thinking needs a dedicated space that gives you confidence to express half-formed ideas, without fear of mistakes or judgement.
Thinking and productivity need different tools. Thinking tools should be purpose-built for their role as pioneers in the creative process, with the ability to seamlessly hand off content to production tools when the time comes.
Tap the information firehose, but keep it at a distance. A thinking tool should help you take advantage of social media, email, and the web — without drowning out your own voice and original ideas.
People think best away from their desks. Reading in a relaxed posture in your armchair, sketching in a notebook in your favorite cafe, taking a long walk in the park — these are where some of our best ideas and freshest thinking emerge.
