if problems are golden nuggets to be found (a quote from ‘Getting the Right Things Done‘, Pascal Denis), have I ever thought about how to surface more problems in my own personal life? How would I do that?
I saw in the #RWRI conference a nice quote, ‘go figure out what will bankrupt you and then work backwards from there.’
So here are a few questions to start with:
- what could bankrupt me?
- what could stop me from adapting quickly?
- where is my life over-optimized?
- have I ever made any leading indicators harmful?
- have I ever put any sort of circuit breaker into place? And is it indeed automatic?
So what I am going to do about this?
I’m going to add these to my own personal trello board (priortize them) and start working through them. I don’t know of any other way at the moment. So I’ll give it a go and see if I dig up any gold.
