“When you’re moving intently towards your goals keep the blinders on. This is not the time to be distracted. Focus on doing what you’re doing.
Don’t make changes right now if you don’t have to. Don’t re-think how to do things better. Use your energy to make progress as you have been. There are other times to figure out better ways and more efficient approaches. Right now, go on auto-pilot and use your energy as best you can without changing course.
Record new ideas you have so they’re not lost, but then shelve them for a couple days. If people want to talk about their new ideas defer them if you can. If you need to talk to people about changes, do so with patience and tolerance… and take the earliest opportunity to defer deep discussions.”
