Embracing Uncertainty
summary
Argues that creative work starts with wandering without agenda and curiosity rather than plans, citing Jack Dorsey noticing an art fair and later hacking a smartphone credit‑card reader, Miles Davis recording Kind of Blue in just two sessions (first track three takes, last track one), and a TV project that survives 16 years of delays. Claims forecasting reliably reaches 400 days at best (often 150), so success depends on repeated choices, pivots, and tolerating dead ends rather than efficiency.
