Here's an exercise I use early with almost everyone I work with. It takes about ten minutes, and it usually tells you more than a month of new content would.
Sit down with paper and answer one question honestly:
What have I already been told to do — clearly, more than once — that I have not done?
Most of us are carrying two or three of these. The doctor's advice we keep deferring. The conversation we know we need to have. The thing every book we've read has said in different words.
Notice what this means: these are not information problems. No new course fixes them, because you already have the information. Something structural is in the way — an incentive, an environment, an identity that would have to shift.
What to do with the answer
Pick one item from your list and ask two follow-ups:
- What would I have to give up if I actually did this?
- What in my daily environment makes not-doing-it the easy default?
The first question surfaces the hidden payoff of staying stuck — there almost always is one, and there's no shame in it. The second points at something concrete you can change this week.
That's it. No framework, no purchase. If you try it and want to compare notes, Musubi is where I talk through these — it's free, and this kind of thing is exactly what it's for.
