Clarity

Clarity is a state in which the goal, criteria, problem or message are clear enough to act on.

Definition

Clarity means knowing what is going on, what is important and how to evaluate progress. In practice, it concerns thinking, communication, decisions and work organization. The lack of clarity increases guesswork, tension and the risk of acting out.

Missing key ideas.

Practice and life

Before starting a task, answer three questions: what will I build, how will I know it's working, and what am I not doing as part of this task.

Common misunderstanding

It is a mistake to expect complete certainty before acting. Clarity is supposed to be enough for the first step, not to predict everything.
