What do you want tomorrow to be about?
I ask myself this question as I sit down to write to you, "What do I want tomorrow to be about?"
As a statement of intention, deciding what I hope tomorrow will bring helps me decide how to act today. Having a big goal, long-term plan, strategy, and the whole nine yards is good. But if you can't decide what tomorrow brings, what good was the long game?
The dumbest point of any project plan is when we decide how we'll act 6 months into the future.
The smartest point is when we acknowledge that we don't know how 6 months in the future will look, but we can reasonably estimate how the next week might turn out.
Dream big.
Plan small.
