Process

Recast the thing as an activity that runs over time and can be started, repeated, tuned, or stopped. You stop asking what it is and start asking what steps produce it, how often you run them, and what improves each cycle.

Example

Purpose as process: instead of hunting for it, you run a weekly cycle. Pick two work blocks that felt alive, do more of that shape next week, drop the deadest task. After 12 weeks you have a direction you built, not one you found.
