Do you sometimes feel like you're not getting anywhere with your attempts at life? I do. All the time.
And because I had good coaches and role models around me, they helped me with a series of questions that kinda nudged some senses into me, so that I started thinking out of the box.
Here are some of those coaching questions. I hope it helps you as much as I did for me.
- Am I applying the 80/20 rule on this? Am I putting 80% focus on the 20% of the things that really mattered? Or is it the other way around?
- Has someone done this before, under the same circumstances, and perhaps done it better?
- Is this the only way from point A to point B?
- What's the furthest I can "disassociate" myself from this process so I can have a wider perspective?
- Why am I doing this in the first place? Is it tradition or forces of habit?
- Is there someone I can delegate this task to?
- Is there a technology I can pay to get this task done for me?
- Is there another way to measure the results of the process?
- Is this aligned to my values, my beliefs, my principles?
- Is this process even necessary at all?
What are some perspective-altering and enlightening questions that has helped you think out of the box or looked around the corner?
Mini Motivation is my own daily strategy to inspire myself. Mostly 3 minute reads.
From Motivation, we gain Inspiration. From Inspiration, we achieve Momentum. And the rest, they say, is history.
Hope it helps nudge you a bit too in the right direction.
