Better solutions
When facing a problem, it's critical to spend time finding better solutions than the ones you already have. "Your biggest problem is a lack of a truly great idea, and you must solve that rather than embarking on a long, misguided journey[^taylor-pearson]."
This is not an invitation to over-analyze things. It's an invitation to resist the tendency to take action for the sake of action.
