Here’s an idea I’ve found  that often complements my inner research and planning departments synergistically: “As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.” — Rumi (shared by Sahil Bloom) 

Generally, I tend to be a careful planner and prototyper, while my wife often starts walking down the “trail” while I’m still looking over the map. We used to argue about which approach was better, but we’ve gotten a little wiser and realize that it depends. Context and timing are important. Now we usually chuckle gratefully at how we tend to balance each other.
