Avoid activities that give you the sugar rush of accomplishment for accomplishment’s sake.
Focus on being directionally correct and remain open to adapting ideas and plans as new information comes in.

"How to clarify a concept you can't articulate:
1. Change mediums. Draw it. Photograph it. Sing it.
2. Change levels. Explain what is one level up (bigger picture) or one level down (finer details).
3. Change fields. What would this concept look like in different fields?"
(James Clear newsletter)
The successful learn vicariously; the foolish insist on firsthand pain.

The less energy they expend on your prose, the more they'll have left for your ideas. And the further they'll read.
