I have recent finished reading the book Eat that Frog by Brain Tracy. It is a good read if like me you easily get overwhelmed and that leads to procrastination.
One story stuck out in it and it is about a 500-mile stretch of the Sahara where many have lost their way crossing this big expance until the French marked the path with black oil drums every 5 kilometres, perfectly aligned with the curvature of the Earth.
