Keep moving
Most real life situations are complex (Complexity). You cannot foresee enough for detailed rigid plans.
âE.L. Doctorow said once said that ‘Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.’ You don’t have to see where you’re going, you don’t have to see your destination or everything you will pass along the way. You just have to see two or three feet ahead of you. This is right up there with the best advice on writing, or life, I have ever heard.â â Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life
Keep moving and adjust to feedback. Just be directionally correct. Jocko said in one of his podcasts how people seemed to think he made decisions quickly, but that they were just a series of rapid small decisions. Be water.
âYou donât need to predict how everything will play out. Just master the next step and continue moving in the right direction.â â James Clear, 3-2-1 newsletter
