How to make progress when you don’t know what you’re building yet
The curse of multiple interests
If you’re reading this, there is a good chance you feel caught between two worlds.
You know you want something more than your current situation. But you are not sure what exactly that is or how to achieve it.
Maybe you just want to write so you start a newsletter. Maybe you want more money so you start sketching out offers for a business idea.
The problem is that the destination still feels blurry.
You have ideas, but too many of them. One day you are interested in the future of work. The next you are thinking about burnout, psychology, leadership, mindset, healing, purpose, technology, A.I or some strange connection between all of them.
So you keep thinking. You write, rewrite, read some more, do more research. Yet despite all of that activity there is a persistent feeling that nothing is fully coming together…and so you start looking for the illusive blueprint for success.
Most people will tell you that the solution is more discipline. Pick something. Commit to it and stop overthinking.
That sounds logical but we are not dealing with logic here this is an emotional problem and the worst thing you can do is to force that cognitive dissonance into a clarity framework or 0 to 100K blueprint.
The feeling of being lost is almost always a sign that something important is still being worked out and the people who rush to eliminate that uncertainty usually never find it in the borrowed promises of someone else.
The ones who stick with the path of uncertainty and doubt, and yes the occasional existential crisis, end up developing a vision of their own, which is kind of the whole point of this.
So In this article I want to show you how to make progress before you have clarity. How do you keep moving forward and implementing actions even when you are not sure what you are building yet or where any of this is really going?
