- How can I make someone else happy right now? (5-10 points)
- What’s something in my immediate environment that I have never noticed?
- Daily reflections
- Specific set of questions
- Examples: What excited me? What drained me? What did I learn? What are 10 things I’m grateful for? How did I push the needle forward?
- (Write these to learn about yourself… not because you want to have a strict log of everything you did. Try to think of what you need vs what other people do.)

- Likely: A few people will look at my first post because no one knows me.

- What of these, if the opportunity was taken away from me, would I fight to get back?
- What 20% of activities are producing 80% of the results?
- Decision Making

- A PROBLEM WELL DEFINED IS A PROBLEM HALF SOLVED.
- What are the options? Are they mutually exclusive?
- If I had to make this decision in 60 seconds, what would I choose? (Put on a timer.)
- Could I live with this outcome?
- What would this look like if it were easy?
