What's inside

One question from each theme, as it appears on the public guide.

  • What still feels like yours

    The role can be the wrong shape and still hold pieces you would hate to lose.

    Which hours in the week do you hope nobody cancels?

  • What you are ready to stop carrying

    A task, a room, a person, or a pace can be the whole problem.

    What part of your work did you fall into rather than choose?

  • How you want the work week to feel

    A different title still has to survive a normal Tuesday.

    What does a workday you would repeat look like, from the first hour to the last?

  • Who the work is for

    Someone is on the other end of the work, even if you never meet them.

    Who is better off when you do this work well?

  • What you still want to learn

    The job you have may never ask for the skill you still want to learn.

    What are you curious about that this job barely touches?

  • What a change would have to protect

    The next move is easier to picture than the parts you cannot drop.

    What would any change have to keep safe in your life?

A printable sample, the opening pages and one full theme, is on the questions page.
