Questions I Ask Myself
A running list of questions that guide my decisions and help me think clearly.
I keep a running list of questions that help me think clearly. They're not meant to have easy answers. They're meant to prompt reflection.
On Work
- What would I work on if nobody was watching?
- What am I avoiding that I know I should do?
- If I had to cut half my projects, which would I keep?
- What's the minimum viable version of this?
On Life
- What would I do differently if I wasn't afraid?
- Am I optimizing for the right things?
- What will matter in 10 years? 50 years?
- When was the last time I changed my mind about something important?
On Growth
- What's a skill I wish I had started learning 5 years ago?
- Who do I admire and why?
- What would I tell my past self?
- What am I learning right now?
I revisit these questions regularly. The answers change. That's the point.
