You can't navigate like a GPS would because you don't have a map. You have to wayfind.

And wayfinding means taking one step at a time knowing something about the direction you're going, trying a few things, tuning it up and then doing it again and doing it again.

​None of us knows the future – we're making it up as we go along – so let's get really good at making it up as we go along.

– Dave Evans
