Stopping the car.

Driving fast might not be a good strategy if we don't know where we are going.

Stopping the car and calibrating the navigation is, of course, better, especially when a map of the terrain is available.

But with the work that matters, we rarely have a map. At best, we may have a compass and our assertions to work with. To move forward with intention, we need to stop driving at times and take time to make better assertions.
