      3/ Each outgoing branch is a major area of life: Fun, Purpose, Nature, Community, Spiritual, Health, Learning, Finances, Family, Creative, Business, Home, Presence. Just stream of consciousness wrote down everything I could think of that I wanted to have or be

      4/ Thinking 7 years out was a big change. Basically anything is possible. It helped me think in terms of “being” and not so much “doing,” which is the usual 1-year horizon I focus on

      5/ Also, I wanted to bring it out of the computer and neat spreadsheets, and make it a little more embodied and physical. Having it all visible in one holistic view is powerful. That’s my life

      6/ Then I looked through my list of goals, wrote one per post-it, and pasted it near the outcome it was intended to fulfill. Nearer term on the inside, longer term on the outside, so there’s a time element radiating outwardpic.twitter.com/6UQ71hApst

      7/ Actively pursued goals went on green post-its, stalled ones on yellow, and inactive ones in red. Made me realize that this is going to be a year of intense focus on writing the book, unlike last year when I pursued a million things

      8/ This also revealed that some goals are totally random and have nothing to do with my long-term desires, so I deleted them. Other goals came up as necessary stepping stones to 7-yr outcomes

      9/ Timelines also got questioned. I’ve always wanted to travel the Philippines to meet all my family, but realized that in 7 yrs my dad (who knows them all) will be 76. That’s gotta happen soon!

      10/ Gaps also revealed themselves. I had no goal related to nature. It’s always something “I don’t have time for.” But climate change is going to have a huge impact on all of us. I need to start thinking about my contribution there

      12/ Learning from last year was that there’s a fine line between focusing and fixating. Fixating on short term goals without considering outcomes is narrow minded. I hope this map keeps me more centered on the ultimate life I want to create
