There’s a problem that I’ve been wrestling with in my business. The sort of problem that has no clear-cut answer. There are always solutions, each coming with its own set of tradeoffs, and I’ve been circling around the decision for months now, thinking the same thoughts over and over again.
Today I finally sat down and started writing about the problem. I don’t know that I’d gotten more than a few paragraphs in when I realized there was a detail I’d missed in all of this, one that made all the difference in the world.
My problem was solved.
I can’t tell you how many times this has happened. I’ve heard it said that you haven’t really thought about something until you’ve written about it, and I think there’s a truth there.
Today was my reminder to think less and write more.
