An extreme clarity arises about what matters or doesn’t, and the enormity of what’s at stake makes it easier to sort and simplify. You find intelligent shortcuts, evaluate habitual practices, shed unnecessary accumulations, make fewer murky concessions—even leave behind what you’d rather not. Done well, this lightens the load, hones identity, and propels what’s essential. Done poorly, it turns into thoughtless discards, micro moves that make little difference, or desperate lunges.
