Sunday night, and I still can’t see what comes next, even after counting all I’ve been through.
Every Sunday night, I write down twenty scenes from my life so far, but sometimes what to do next feels even less clear.
Scenes
- I wrote it all down, but what comes next still feels daunting. — On Sunday nights, I sometimes fill in twenty scenes on a timeline and still can’t choose what to do next.
- What You’ve Done and What Feels Like You — A long list shows what you’ve done, but not what you’d like to do again.
- Look at What You Did in Each Scene — The verbs on your timeline can reveal things you kept doing, like taking charge of a task or helping someone.
- Take a Closer Look at What Happened — Tonight, pick one verb you’ve written more than once and add a single line about a scene where you did that.
- Repeated Tasks Can Inform Your Next Choice — Those twenty scenes aren’t answers; they’re material to work with. Let one repeated task be a clue as you consider what to choose next.
