Reflect on 

'Doing the right thing, vs Doing the thing right'

https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/doing-things-right-vs-anish-mayaramka#

https://www.sitepoint.com/doing-things-right-vs-doing-the-right-things/

Go beyond tactics and strategy, and examine deeper needs, and wants

To sustain your effort(s). To take the 2nd (and subsequent) step(s)

https://pohsungoh.blogspot.com/2022/05/thesecondstep-the2ndstep-by-pohsungoh.html

Go beyond efficiency, to consider effectiveness. Including doing less, to do more

Get, and see, the whole picture

From multiple points of view, of all stakeholders (community and networks)

Narrow and Broad

Short and Long Term

Near and Far

Underlying principles, norms, laws, models, values, and what is (personally) valued

Less, then More ⬇ then ⬆

Less, then More - applying the 80/20 principle

⬇ then ⬆

Exercise financial discipline 

Keep tight control of costs and expenditure (of limited energy, time, attention resources)

To allow one to Invest and Allocate these to high value, high returns and … some … green field blue ocean exploratory projects."
