Of all the things you could do next, what should you do?

Whether you can't decide which of one thousand possibilities you should pursue or it feels like you've exhausted your best ideas and you're staring at a dead-end, the question remains: what's next?

How do you decide? How do you move forward?

Given all the information you have (and all the information you don't) how do you plan for the next quarter? The next year? The next 5 years?
