Research comes in a variety of modes.

Some of it is pure discovery. You have brand-new territory and no idea where you're going.

After you map out a space, you can search more deliberately: you can see the gaps and explore within them.

Later-stage research is polish and refinement: hunting for exceptions to rules, optimizing processes, contextualizing the work into the rest of the world.

Pessimist: The glass is ½ empty.

And no-one ever dared ask.

4. Focus on what you can control, and try not to waste time trying to control or change what you cannot.
