NOTE

Identify the Problem Before You Act

Establishing the actual problem at hand is crucial before taking any action. Techniques such as brain dumps and journaling can facilitate this identification process, serving as tools to challenge assumptions, reflect on daily experiences, and recognize sources of energy drain. Journaling prompts, like inquiries about gratitude or learned lessons, help pinpoint feelings and concerns.

Only after identifying the problem can one determine the appropriate direction for action, avoiding wasted effort on misdirected efforts.
