The internet is a vast ocean of knowledge, spread wide and deep with facts and opinion.

This is good.

It gives us access to everything and anything we could ever want to find. It makes the information that once set experts apart from the rest of us accessible to everyone, leveling the field and removing the advantage of being in the know.

Every idea needs space to breathe. That is how you sort out the good ideas from the mediocre ones. That is how you decide what is important to work on next, what should go on the back burner, and what you should abandon entirely.

There is too little time to do everything, so focus and discernment are critical for getting the right jobs done. Writing doable lists and clearly defining next actions can help make the actual doing automatic. The real work, though, comes first, when you answer this question:

She came up with this awesome write-up:

When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don’t stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven’t hoed,
And shout from where I am, What is it?

I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.
