When you don't know what to do - tether yourself to one thing.

Starting a new job? Don’t know where to start?

Ask your manager, “what is the one most valuable thing I can do this week that will measurably help me be a more valuable contributor?

If you don’t have a manager, ask yourself that question and take your best guess. Reflect on the decision a few weeks later and to gather learnings.

When you don’t know what to do, an well thought out hunch trumps a shot in the dark.

Stay on task.

I'm not 25 anymore.
