+# Intermediate Packages
+
+> [...] there is a flaw in focusing only on the final results: all the intermediate work (the notes, the drafts, the outlines, the feedback) tends to be underappreciated and undervalued. The precious attention we invested in producing that in-between work gets thrown away, never to be used again.

+intermediate packages can receive different names depending on who you ask:
+
+- “Modules” or “features” in software development
+- “Betas” tested by start-ups
+- “Sketches” in architecture
+- “Pilots” for television series
+- “Prototypes” made by engineers
+- “Concept cars” in auto design
+- “Demos” in music recording
+
+Each of these terms is the equivalent of a “rough draft” you create as part of the process of making something new.
+
+Some kinds of intermediate packages are:
+
+- **Distilled notes:** Books or articles you’ve read and distilled so it’s easy to get the gist of what they contain.
+- **Outtakes:** The material or ideas that didn’t make it into a past project but could be used in future ones.
+- **Work-in-process:** The documents, graphics, agendas, or plans you produced during past projects.
+- **Final deliverables:** Concrete pieces of work you’ve delivered as part of past projects, which could become components of something new.
+- **Documents created by others:** Knowledge assets created by people on your team, contractors or consultants, or even clients or customers, that you can reference and incorporate into your work.
+
+These IP can be used to create others IP's or create a final product for a project.
+
+## Benefits of working in IP's:
+
+- You’ll become **interruption-proof** because you are focusing only on one small packet at a time.
+- You’ll be able to make **progress in any span of time**.
+- Intermediate Packets **increase the quality** of your work by allowing you to collect feedback more often.
+- Eventually you’ll have so many IP's at your disposal that you can execute entire projects just by **assembling [previously created](Reuse%20previous%20work.md) IP's**.
+
+## IP's Examples:
+
+- Favorites or bookmarks saved from the web or social media
+- Journal or diary entries with your personal reflections
+- Highlights or underlined passages in books or articles
+- Messages, photos, or videos posted on social media
+- Slides or charts included in presentations
+- Diagrams, mind maps, or other visuals on paper or in apps
+- Recordings of meetings, interviews, talks, or presentations
+- Answers to common questions you receive via email
+- Written works, such as blog posts or white papers
+- Documented plans and processes such as agendas, checklists, templates, or project retrospectives
