The sense of being confused is the sense of not knowing what the rules are to the game you’re playing. We trust that sense too much. Just because you don’t know the rules doesn’t mean there are rules to know!
You might be confused because you expect rules when there aren’t any. You might just be in a very fluid situation or have a very nebulous goal.
So lean into it! When you’re confused, that might mean that there are many ways to solve your problem. If you’ve given an honest effort to learn the rules and you can’t seem to figure them out, entertain the notion that there simply aren’t any. And if there are no rules, you can’t break them – so get the job done your way and gather information after.
