focus on outcomes. have an objective like better monitoring, better perf, better code coverage, and use that as your guiding principal. make sure any change benefits the customer or your team. avoid refactoring just to modernize, every change is a potential regression. and what is in style now will be legacy in due time.

once you decide on the objective, try to divide components up into interfaces so you can test and refactor a component with reduced side effects.

set a goal for each objective. like improve coverage 5% a month or no net neg.

long story short, be methodical and focus on outcomes
