• Vinci was his home vilige
• he was connecting arts with engeneering (like many people during his time)
• he was making plenty of notes / todos / questions
• mirror writting - because he was left-handed
• painting: he knew how to show dynamics of movement
• many unfished “projects” (huge horse statue, chaning river flows, smart cities, war machines, many paintings)
• “advices” from Leonardo
  • be courios, be critical
  • plan experiments
  • search for analogies
  • visualize things, processes
  • in observation, start from detail
  • create TODO lists & make notes
  • not everything must be fully-described (be open to uncertainty!)
  • don’t be afraid to leave some work unfinished
  • cooperate with your community
