Kristeen and Becc direct us to the importance of questioning your model of the world and the beliefs you hold about success is highlighted. They remind us that while we need to be able to put our head down and dive into the nitty-gritty details, we need to frequently lift our heads, step back and check that we're still walking in the right direction.  They offer strategies for getting out of the weeds and focusing on the big picture. Collaboration and seeking help from others are presented as valuable tools. The concept of "letting it be easy" is introduced as a way to approach challenges to solve problems in efficient ways.     Key Takeaways:     It's important to regularly redirect our focus to the big-picture goal and ask if the details we're getting caught up in are truly necessary. Setting unrealistic goals leads to feelings of inadequacy. This feeling of inadequacy gets us further into the weeds and further from our big-picture goal. If you want to make progress rather than strive for solo perfection, ask for help from colleagues and utilise resources that make the process more targeted and efficient. There are always multiple ways to achieve a goal. Find the path that works best for you and makes the journey easier.
