What are your sketching shortcuts?

Well, this thread went south fast.

If it is a complex product with multiple “different” areas then sketch each area separately so you don’t get overwhelmed.
Sketch in a room without internet or phones…so you don’t get distracted.
Maybe separate your sessions into blue sky, middle of road and realistic.
Set deadlines time/budgets. If not, you’ll be stuck in an endless sketching loop. We all wish we had more time but in reality we have a set amount of time. Maybe set mini goals like do 3 solid concepts one day, focus on manufacturability another day, then improve on them another day, etc.
Do some mood boards to get started. After a few days make new ones or revised ones based on what you found out through your sketching.
