STEP #1:
List Your Current Projects

Set a timer for five minutes (which is enough for a “first pass”) and write down anything that comes to mind when you read the following questions, whether they are work-related or personal:

• •  What’s currently worrying you?
• •  What problem is taking more mental bandwidth than it deserves?
• •  What needs to happen that you’re not making consistent progress on?
• •  What actions are you already taking that are part of a bigger project you’ve not yet identified?
• •  What would you like to learn, develop, build, express, pursue, start, explore, or play with?
• •  Which skills would you like to learn and which hobbies would you like to start?
• •  What kind of project could advance your career or make your life more fun or interesting?
