In your head

Clock

When you consider the next steps it’s likely you see problems ahead. Some are toughies and some look like little speed bumps. These are the problems you play with in your head. You can do a lot of thinking and you can spend a lot of time doing it, but they’ll still only the problems you’re playing with in your head. Noodle-able. Entertaining. A distraction?

Much more important. Much. The real problems.

The ones you actually deal with in the real world as you get on with the actual doing. Those problems. The ones you work. By building prototypes and shaping an actual Tab A to fit an actual Slot B. By digging into the data, crafting the code, unboxing the boundaries.

Get it on a whiteboard, on to paper, gather your team, work in the open.

Don’t stop thinking, do start doing.

Skippy strategy: The work is working on problems.
