Create time in your schedule to engage in conscious thought.
A time to think through your decision-making. The past and future are brought in to join the present.
Assess the framework you used in the past, the framework you are using in the present, and the framework you think will better serve the future.
Frameworks are leverage.
If you think you do not use or need a framework, then you need to create even more time to think. An unconscious framework is a dangerous one. When the limits of a framework are not set by you, you force its application upon everything. And as there are many things that would not fit, you start expending more energy than people who have no framework.
Frameworks are built on values, and there are some enduring ones I prioritize. I call them RICK – Respect, Integrity, Courage, and Kindness.
Without first articulating your values, frameworks become death traps, easily collapsing under the weight of pressure.
Anyway, back to the main theme of this post.
Create time in your schedule to engage in conscious thought.
