Start with the end, and work your way backwards. Or the chess idea:
Study the endgame — the most effective way to master chess (not studying opener moves) // via Peter Thiel (‘Zero to One’ Book)
Think about the end, and what is your desired outcome, and let everything else fall into place.
If you don’t know what your end game is, go on long walks and think deeply on this.
My end goal is simple:
Maximize my artistic and philosophical creation, and motivate and others to do so as well!
Maximal collective human thriving is the goal.
