Improvisation
Create and make spontaneously; made do with what you have; going all MacGyver on it. (Note: none of them know who MacGyver is)

When is improvisation a good thing, a healthy thing, a worthwhile thing? Try and come up with at least three scenarios and explain why it helps? (Example: when there’s six seconds left on the shot clock, you don’t run a new play)

When is improvisation unproductive? When might it become a crutch or even an excuse?

MB: It can be not productive when you’re not getting anywhere or you’re not accomplishing anything. It might become an excuse because you think you’re doing something but you’re actually not.
EG: When you do it for no reason.
KM: When you are the president of the United States of America.
MH: When it’s the main or first way of going about things; it should come naturally out of fluid, good work.
HG: When you’re using it not to complete the work.
SH: One unproductive way is doing at the last minute and putting almost anything in it to get it done.

We ended the conversation by talking about why I would bring this up in terms of the CSpan video.
