Problem-solving

Don’t impress the room. Invite the room. Say it simply. Say it clearly. Say it like you would to a five-year-old. Then watch the work move forward.

Go fast by getting rid of what slows you down. Not by rushing — by refining.

Distilling your thoughts isn’t complicated. You already do it—when you make dinner or pack a bag. Open your notes like your fridge: see what’s there, see what fits, make something yours.

These days, I write a lot and reflect a lot. But it wasn’t always like that. I didn’t start to feel good. I started because I couldn’t afford to forget.

Sometimes clarity doesn’t arrive all at once—it shows up later, disguised as advice you didn’t know you were writing. This is about one of those moments.
