核心畫面

Picture laying things out until each one is where it should be: flowers in a vase, chairs in a circle. Now do that with the parts of an event — who comes, when, where — and you are arranging a meeting. Same act, moved from objects to plans, and then to the parts of a piece of music.

可以想成:把東西一件件擺好,直到每一樣都在對的位置上——花插進瓶裡、椅子圍成一圈。接著把同一件事用在一場活動的各個環更多收起可以想成:把東西一件件擺好,直到每一樣都在對的位置上——花插進瓶裡、椅子圍成一圈。接著把同一件事用在一場活動的各個環節上——誰來、什麼時候、在哪裡——那就是在安排一場會議。動作沒變,只是從實體的東西移到計畫,再移到一首樂曲的各個聲部。

把事情安排好

把要擺的東西換成一件事的各個環節:時間、地點、人、車。你把它們一一放到位,這件事才真的會發生。這是現在最常用的一支。
