Things Learned From…
Here are the three other journaling prompts that he uses regularly.
The Bottleneck Analysis
This one is the single prompt that has most accelerated my personal growth.
And it has 2 questions:
1. What's the biggest bottleneck to achieving my next goal?
2. Why aren't I working on it today?
The 80/20 Life Audit
First start with 2 lists:
• Where am I feeling satisfied?
• Where am I feeling dissatisfied?
Brain dump anything and everything—health, finances, relationships, career, spirituality, get it all onto the page.
Then, take each list and analyze.
Our goal is to find the 20% of:
• Places
• Habits
• People
• Beliefs
That are leading to 80% of the positive & negative results.
This is the 80/20 rule in action.
And this reflection will make it painfully obvious which handful of things are driving your results.
During this reflection, patterns will emerge.
The same people, habits, and beliefs—all leading to your best and worst results.
From there, your goal is to:
• Double down on the 20% positive
• Ruthlessly eliminate the 20% negative
The result?
An instant life upgrade.
The Compounding Projection
It's cliché, but all successful outcomes come from compounding.
Our success (or failure) is a result of tiny, daily actions compounded over time.
But in the moment, it can be hard to gauge your progress.
So ask yourself these 2 questions:
1. If I repeated every action I took today, every day for a year, where would I end up?
2. Is this the place I want to be?
If you're confident in your current path, this prompt will help you be more patient.
But if you're on the wrong path, it will help you course correct.
Thanks for reading! Hope you have a wonderful day.
