The Framework

I wish I had figured out sooner how useful it is to have a life framework: a one-page summary that shows my one big life goal (the goal that would make me feel I had lived a good life), my guiding principles, and the simplified plan for achieving the big goal.

The process of creating that framework and the drawing I created for it helped me become more clear about how I wanted to live and what I wanted to spend my time on. The framework is also helping me stay focused when I feel overwhelmed, unsure of what to do next, or doubtful that what I’m doing matters.

I’m sharing below the current version of my framework. It might help someone get ideas for their own frameworks.
