Week 2: Decide where you're going

Everything for the week on one page: your moves, worksheet, scripts, and score.

This week's moves

Move 115 min · Written

Make the more/less list, today. Two columns: what you want more of in your work, and less of. Kinds of problems, people, scope, recognition. Be concrete, using script 1. "More growth" doesn't count; "more work that involves [X]" does.

Move 220 min · Written

Name the next real step. Not the dream title. The next move from where you are now. Phrase it as a direction with script 2, then run it through the "so that" check in script 3.

Move 310 min · Written

Write the one-year line. Two sentences on where you want to be in a year, built from the more/less list. Use script 4. Present-tense, specific, yours.

The more/less worksheet

Be concrete. "More growth" doesn't count; "more work that involves [X]" does.

The one-year line

Two sentences on where you want to be in a year, built from the more/less list. Present-tense, specific, yours.

Script cards (cut along the dashed lines)

1. The more/less line

"More: [specific]. Less: [specific]." Force the specifics. Not "more leadership," but "more owning a project end to end."

2. The next-step line

"My next step is [role, scope, or skill], not [the vague version]." Example: "My next step is owning a launch start to finish, not just a bigger title."

3. The "so that" check

Add "so that..." to your direction and try to finish it. "I want to move into [X] so that [what it gives you]." If you can't finish the sentence, the direction isn't clear yet, and that's useful to know now.

4. The one-year line

"In a year, I want to be [doing, known for, or working on X]." Two sentences, no more. Built from your more/less list, not from thin air.

5. The "what are you looking for" answer

When someone asks: "I'm focused on [direction]. The kind of thing I'm looking for is [specific]." Say it once, then stop.

Self-score: Week 2

Score each statement from 1 (not true) to 5 (true). Mark one box per row.
