> Wu wei is an important concept in Taoism that literally means non-action or non-doing ie. "effortless doing"
Set goal, think and explore a little, rest a lot and wait until you get clear picture. Then and only then start coding.
Pros: No burnouts, less stress, etc, and constantly moving forward (in contrast to 2 steps forward 1 step back cycle) what results in overall faster progress.
Cons: Personally it's sometimes pain in the ass to wait, but it's important to understand -> not to be obsessed with job. Get a hobby, do something else and let unconscious part of your brain deal with what needs to be done -> mind blowing discovery for me that actually works, but still have to get used to this concept :-)
