Tony Wroten, a guard for the 76ers, got the same advice from his coaches. “They tell us every game, every day, ‘trust the process.’” John Fox, the coach trying to turn around the Chicago Bears, asked his team the same thing.
But what the hell is it? What is the process?

Looking at this article, I wondered how the subject matter of this article could be extrapolated to fit the decidedly theater-related theme of the PTM blog. Then I actually read the article. If one imagines that we, the design and production students at Carnegie Mellon University, are elite athletes, this article makes very much sense indeed.
It may be hard, but humor me. The CMU undergraduate DP programs are widely considered the best (or at least some of the best) in America. This didn't just happen one day, a product of the fickle nature of the college rankings gods.It's because the programs here at CMU are hard. The course material is dense, the reasoning behind it complex, (and sometimes decidedly abstract), and the overall workload incredibly intense. However, it is manageable, and the strategy brought up in this article is one I think I'll try to implement in the future.
If I can break up my tasks into things that I can very easily manage, then churn out completed microtasks as they're thrown at me, I can eliminate large amounts of what I'll call "dithering time," or the time I use to worry about how to prioritize certain tasks, and how that prioritization will affect my future chances of getting a job.
