Big questions are worth asking. Small answers like “lunch with my sister” are worth taking.

The large questions are worth keeping open, and nobody is going to settle them this year. Meanwhile the answers that actually get used are small and specific: lunch with your sister, the match on Saturday, the thing you are building in the garage. You can hold the question and take the small answer at the same time.

Keep the big question if it interests you, and book one small answer into this week. Something concrete, with a person and a time attached, rather than more thinking.
