Pick the Weeds
Pick the weeds is a metaphor for time and resource management.
The more resources you have, the less time you will need to get the job done. The less resources you have, the more time you will need to get the job done.
When you are with your horse, ask yourself, what are the weeds I need to pick in order to accomplish what we will do today?
