An active-question-based habit tracking concept.
One of the main takeaways from Triggers was the concept of the structured asking of daily Active Questions to yourself. The questions should be chosen by you, they should meet two criteria:
- They need to be important to you and move you toward the person you want to be
- They should start with “Did I do my best too…”
Marshall Goldsmith has 32 (this number changes over time) questions he answers every night. The book recommends this set as a starting point:
Did I do my best to…
- set clear goals today
- make progress toward my goals today
- find meaning today
- be happy today
- build positive relationships today
- be fully engaged today
