My view is that useful work in this area is mostly subtraction. People arrive expecting to be given something, a framework or a plan, and what actually helps is removing the obligations, assumptions, and inherited expectations that have been making the decision impossible. So we take things away rather than adding them. Whatever the next season turns out to contain, it becomes visible only once the accumulated shoulds have been cleared off the table. That clearing is unspectacular work and it is nearly always what produces the shift. Very little needs to be installed once the obstruction has gone. I have offered plenty of frameworks over the years and watched almost all of them go unused. Subtraction has a much better record. If you have collected enough advice already, we can start by getting rid of some of it. Clearing the table is usually enough on its own.
