I agree with the list, but I'd say the sequence is backwards:
You're not solving anything if you're not executing. Start with execution based on some initial approach. When the discomfort reaches intolerable levels, find a better approach. You only develop insight (understanding) after a few cycles of modified approaches and changed executions. Understanding comes later.
Like "shahbaby" said, the toughest life problems to solve are the ones which require endurance of high amounts of discomfort.
Let's be tough as nails!
- personlurking 9y agoAn execution-first strategy seems to coincide with the idea of rapid deployment and reiteration. Even if that's "crawl before you can walk", at least it's not "theorize about crawling and walking until you think you have a 360 degree understanding." As someone traditionally way more interested in ideas than action, I'm much better at the latter. Time for some discomfort
- hemantv 9y agoAn execution only approach will lead to lot of wasted effort and energy. What are you trying to achieve, and maybe what leverage things you can do. The above advice only works when you are stuck and don't know where to start so it's better to start anywhere. But the limitation starts to show very quickly.
