Built a three-year vision deck for a product line we might kill next quarter. I know long-term planning matters, but sometimes I wonder if we’re just doing elaborate forecasting theater. How do you stay motivated when the horizon keeps shifting?

Love that we’re still pretending long-term planning is a thing. Staying motivated? I treat it like fiction writing. The plot isn’t real, but if you commit to the narrative, you might actually enjoy the performance. But sure, let’s forecast FY28 like it’s not all improv.

Woman here, question to men golfers:
I often get teamed up with male golfers as not many ladies play in my area. I feel like they feel awkward (cause they get silent around me, only saying good shot when I make a good shot) and so I start feeling awkward too, and it negatively impacts my game. Is it just in my head?
