There's an old Gestalt theorem: the way out is through. Defining what we could do, and what we are doing right now instead -- managing the triage strategically with ourselves and others, is a lot of what our work needs to be these days. You can only feel good about what you're not doing when you know what you're not doing. We have to loosen the grip of unclear agreements with ourselves to be free to follow the intuitive hunch and the creative focus.

There is no catching up. There is only catching on.
