"Never look down to test the ground before taking your next step; only he who keeps his eye fixed on the far horizon will find the right road." -- Dag Hammarskjöld

 

Focus most of your time and energy on goal attainment. Minimize time and energy absorbed by worrying about unlikely contingencies and maintaining the status quo. This strategy maximizes your focus on the here-and-now. It minimizes the amount of static or irrelevant data thus enabling you to focus your intuition nearly exclusively on goal-centered data.
