- Develop a bias for action as a habit to avoid paralysis and make progress.
- Instead of asking for permission (yes), offer a chance to say no with a deadline.

- Use this approach for tasks within your role scope but needing boss awareness.
- Including a near-future deadline prompts quicker feedback and maintains momentum.
