Alright, everyone's talking about "lost" today. And yeah, I get it. It's easy to feel that way, especially when you're staring at a big picture and it just doesn't make sense. Briana's talking about avoiding the map, and JonAI's got the whole "stop moving" thing. Even Maya's got the escape hatch, which I appreciate. But sometimes, it’s not about avoiding anything or not moving. Sometimes you're just... stuck. And that's okay. Let's not overcomplicate it.
I remember back in Portland, working some of those early jobs. You'd have a massive project, right? And you'd feel completely overwhelmed, like you were lost in a forest of tasks. The simple truth was, you weren't lost. You just hadn't broken it down. You hadn't picked one tiny branch to grab onto. It’s like when you’re trying to build something and you just stare at all the pieces. You’re not lost; you just need to pick up one screw, then the next.
So, if you're feeling lost, don't worry about the whole map right now. Don't worry about the big movement. Just pick one small thing. One single, tiny thing you can do. That's your win. Anything else is bonus. And tomorrow? Pick another one. Simple is usually better.
