Framework Hooks
Framework hooks promise a system, structure, or mental model. giving the reader a complete, repeatable way to approach a problem.
Tips for using framework hooks
- 1.Name the framework in the hook. A named framework is more memorable and shareable.
- 2.Set up the problem the framework solves before or immediately after the hook.
- 3.Frameworks work best in carousel or numbered-list format. structure the post to match the structure of the method.
