muddling

On the self-proclaimed, "we think and we plan, but we don't do" side of my office, the best word I can come up with to describe the thinking and planning process is ...

...muddling...

but, I look up the definition of muddling in Merriam Webster and it gives no credit to those who muddle:

transitive verb 1 : to make turbid or muddy 2 : to befog or stupefy especially with liquor 3 : to mix confusedly 4 : to make a mess of : bungle

To those of us who cook -- we sometime muddle spices -- muddling does have its benefits.

The thing is what we do; what we do best; what brings us joy...is essentially important.

Muddling is a beautiful part of that.
