Then it did add ten questions that focus on construction. Because mine focused only on diagnosis and a person’s operating machinery.

Here are those ten questions. The 30 above are mine, these are not, but I like them a lot:

  • What am I building?
  • If I continue exactly as I am for five years, what will my life look like?
  • What would I create if nobody could see it?
  • What problem am I uniquely positioned to solve?
  • Which unfinished thing is quietly poisoning my life through avoidance?
  • What would a good day look like if status disappeared tomorrow?
  • What am I postponing until I feel ready?
  • Which person deserves more of my attention than they currently receive?
  • What have I learned that should become a book, business, artwork, movement, or institution?
  • What is one thing I could finish in the next 30 days that would still matter in ten years?
