Some changes feel overwhelming because too many unknowns are being considered at once.
Reduce the time horizon
You may not need to know what the next five years look like. Decide what matters over the next few months.
Separate the outcome from the route
You can be clear about what you want to improve without knowing every step in advance.
Identify the next decision
Ask what needs deciding before anything else can move.
Make the first action small
Choose an action that creates information or momentum rather than trying to complete the whole change at once.
Use review points
A defined review date makes experimentation feel safer because you are not committing blindly forever.
