print a giant watercolor from the index of american design.

This is the most ingenious idea (c/o @Erin Boyle). Aside from the art hack of it all, browsing the collection of meticulously detailed object drawings is a guaranteed cure for what I call "meeting brain." I suggest searching by category — quilt, for ex — and going deep. Can't wait to hang a small collection of these on my children's bedroom walls.
