We all have internal maps—mental routes shaped by routine, habit, and necessity. My day begins each morning with the fizz of caffeine, a quick jolt that kicks off my consulting work.

It acts as my ignition, guiding me along a familiar path from one project to the next, from deadline to deadline. However, I’ve mistaken that surge for real progress.

He glanced past me, his voice already rushing, breath hitching like someone who’d just run a race he hadn’t prepared for.
