Most career goals cannot be quickly obtained off-the-shelf and with all of the parts nicely functioning.
We must assemble the ultimate result one part at a time. This requires thinking big and small in order to know which small steps are important and which ones won't fit. That is difficult because the world marches in with legions of diversions and if it doesn't we provide plenty of our own.
Diversions are dangerous because they lure our efforts to a quiet death where our memory becomes blurred by a swirl of unproductive activities, so much so that one day we wonder, "Whatever happened to that project? How could I have forgotten it?"
