7PS: Turn the knob🚪

by | Jan 11, 2026

Read time: 1 minute, 300 words.

A man stands in front of a locked door he’s been trying to open for months.

He studies the hinges.
He inspects the grain of the wood.
He wonders who built it and why.

He sketches diagrams.
Reads manuals.
Asks others what they think is on the other side.

What he doesn’t do is turn the knob.

One day, almost out of frustration, he finally does.

The door opens.

It was never locked.
It was just heavy.

Many things we call confusion are actually resistance to effort.

Whenever I’m stuck on a project, I ask myself this question:

What’s the most obvious path forward?
