The next right thing

The next practical choice can be clearer than the whole route ahead.

There are moments when I cannot see the whole way forward. That used to make me panic, then over-plan, then avoid the plan because it had become exhausting.

Now I try to ask what the next right thing is. Not the perfect thing. Not the impressive thing. The next thing that leaves less mess behind it.
