Tour -isms. Make it yours and say it yourself. Your heroes show which way you’re facing. Where to find the hours to make it happen. Daydreaming the downside, for once. Meta-considerate. The joy and strategic wisdom of ignoring plans. Blowing off work to play. Err on the side of action, to test theories.
