The Daily Question Process for Individual Effectiveness

The podcast episode introduces the concept of the Daily Question Process, which involves asking oneself a series of questions every day to assess personal effectiveness. These questions are designed to focus on one's own actions and responsibility, rather than blaming external factors. By asking questions like 'Did I do my best to set clear goals?' and 'Did I do my best to be happy?', individuals can gain insights into areas for improvement and take proactive steps to enhance their effectiveness in various aspects of life.
