Relationship playbook
Doing a side project together, at a Sunday cafe RCOEI shows the material they gathered over the week, arranged in a doc.
SCOEN skims it fast and decides “of these three branches, let's take the second; let's finish this by next week.”
RCOEI sometimes finds that decision quick, but since a decision has to be made to do the next research, they follow along.
That one hour of lunch together after the meeting is when the two fit best.
“When SCOEN considers RCOEI's several angles seriously once, and RCOEI respects SCOEN's decision, the two can make each other's judgment firmer. Both exploration and choice are needed.”
