I started my week by walking to the office.
It is not for fitness. It is for the mind.
We have just finished January.
For the last 31 days, the corporate world has been obsessing over “Strategy”. We have hidden behind spreadsheets, roadmaps, and forecasts. We have convinced ourselves that planning is working.
It is not.
Planning is safe. Execution is scary.
Today is the first Monday of February. The safety of the planning phase is over.
At DORIX, we have a rule for this specific week: “The Strategy Freeze”.
From this morning onwards, we stop debating what to do, and we focus entirely on how to do it.
There is a concept in psychology called the “Knowledge-Action Gap”. It explains why smart teams fail. They know exactly what to do, but they get paralysed trying to find the perfect way to start.
I walked through the city this morning. Walking serves a specific operational purpose for me. It is the physical transition from “The Theorist” to “The Builder”.
The city wasn’t built by people who sat in meetings. It was built by people who laid bricks.
While I walk, I am not checking emails. I am verifying the mission. I am clearing the “noise” of the weekend so that when I step through the DORIX doors, I am ready to move.
By the time I arrived at the office today, the time for debate was over.
✅ The lesson for February is simple: Motion creates clarity.
You can sit at your desk and over-analyse the risks. Or you can stand up and start executing.
We have the plan. Now we need the work.
