Great ideas telescope: they have nested alignment.

· Bits and Bobs 6/22/26
  • Great ideas telescope: they have nested alignment.
    • Every time frame nests cleanly inside of the preceding one, being internally coherent with itself and also globally coherent.
    • Telescoping ideas make sense fractally at every time scale.
      • The next 10 years.
      • The next 10 quarters.
      • The next 10 weeks.
      • The next 10 days.
      • The next 10 hours.
      • The next 10 seconds.
    • When you take the time to create plans that telescope, it gives massive leverage.
    • It creates fractal resonance of plans.
    • It shifts you from default-diverging to default-converging.
    • One of the reasons that it drives me crazy when post-PMF teams say they don't have time to think about anything past the next step.
    • If you only ever look one step in front, you'll never figure out how to not be always scurrying.
