If you’re going to wander, do it intentionally. Go explore. Notice things. Get lost, then find your way, then get lost again.

Be surprised. Delighted. Inspired.

But don’t wander accidentally. If you’re engaging in work that matters, don’t stroll into it and “see what happens.” Don’t wander when the workday begins or when your team offers you time and attention.

Wandering has its place, but it’s not in the work you do or in the change you seek to make in the world.
