Episode notes
Make A Specific Life Energy List
- Do create a specific "life energy list" naming what has drained and given you energy over the last 90 days.
- Use this list to spot concrete fixes (commute, boss, hours) instead of blaming "my job."
Are You Asking The Right Question?
- Ask whether you're really asking the right question or just chasing change in the wrong area.
- Sometimes the problem isn't the job but another life area that needs attention.
Inventory Life-Giving Moments
- Do be specific about life-giving moments: when you felt most like yourself and with whom.
- Use those specifics to identify work elements worth keeping or recreating elsewhere.
