Scott Tait explains a navigation framework for planning: know where you are, define where you want to go, and chart the course. Your North Star stays fixed, but you can pivot the route without losing sight of the goal.

We generally say that any planning challenge can be handled with the navigation process. And you like the North Star. I love the idea of a North Star. The first question though is, where am I? You got to figure out kind of where you are first. The second question— You're lost until you know where you are, right? So yeah, and that's the most fundamental thing. Do I even know where I am? I got to figure that out first. And the second one is, where am I going? And then once you've established where you are and where you're going, you can chart that course to get there. And to use BOSS terminology, I don't think you necessarily change your North Star, but you may sail a different course for a while before you can regain your original intended course to that final destination that you seek.
