I like quadrants. I've used the same initial approach for screenplay concepts... actually, then I divvy up the quadrants, and fill them in with scenes. It brings to mind the saying, "Begin with the end in mind," and then you roll out ideas according to constraints; i.e., what things need to happen to turn this thought into a story--and make it work within an hour and 30 minutes or what have you. :) Good idea, to apply it to the work day.

This post in particular inspired me - I have often drawn such maps to try to keep myself focused (I do marketing work, perform standup comedy, write children's plays, direct theater, teach piano lessons, make films, bartend, the list is sorta endless)... It's great to see another creative person out there not being pigeonholed, going after inspiring stuff and dealing with trying to keep it all balanced... Keep it up!

It could be the basis for a wonderful memoir, in fact ... life in 4 slices or something like that! Your creative energy is amazing and a true gift to those who follow your work. May the force be with you! (as a poet/writer myself ... I think you bridge those 2 worlds in an interesting way ... your cartoons, for instance, are a form of poetry, no doubt!)
