PCM
my student paul has a term for the process of finding a valid, useful, productive lens through which to view a topic such that you can discard all of the distracting, mediocre ideas in your way and find the passing-grade-earning paper hidden inside: he calls it "PCM," or "the parinoia critical method."
raise your hand if you've always known this term was out there waiting for you, and you apply the method all the damn time to your own work!

he's on to something. Andy Grove said "only the paranoid survive"

Would this method also for work in other situations, say, conference proposals, comps, or designing syllabi?
