#13 What's your Personality Type
|
Part of the Discover. phase is helping you not only identify your Someday Goals, but also find out more about you! Assessments are a great way to do this.
Resources to Download:
For a more complete analysis of your personality, I recommend taking the Myers-Briggs (MBTI) assessment. If you are an assessment geek like me, you'll enjoy these type heads. |

#15 Strengths
|
There are several options for accessing the StrengthsFinder Assessment
|
  |
I am not directly affiliated with Gallup nor do I get any commission from them if you take their StrengthsFinder assessment. I just love discovering strengths and believe this assessment is key. I’m Gallup trained and use the knowledge I learned with them, as well as independent research, to develop and unleash my own superpowers daily!
#22 Dream Ladder
|
This activity helps you take your Someday Goal or big idea and break it down into manageable steps.
Watch below as Megan guides you through the Dream Ladder process. Download more copies of the activity here. |
#27 The One Thing Philosophy
This philosophy is based on the amazing book, The One Thing. One of the #1 takeaways for me from this book is what they call the focusing question. I found this question to be so important AND helpful, that I wanted to constantly be reminded of it until it became a habit.

The tool I use is IF (If this, then that) an app that creates recipes. Learn more at https://ifttt.com/
I use it to get weather updates, reminders, and it even saves a picture to Dropbox every time I'm tagged on Facebook. It does SO much more too.

#28 Power of Small Steps
When writing Discover. Act. Engage. I reached a personal record of 60 straights days of meditating. 10 days later I took this screen shot.
By the time I hit 70 straight days, I had spent over a year developing my mediation practice. In the first 6 months I was lucky to hit 7 or 10 day streaks. By the end of my first year I had only ever hit a 30 day streak once. But I didn't give up.
You've got to remember to throw grace in your face when you slip (and you will slip, we all do), dust yourself off, and get right back at it... one small step at a time.

#40 Productivity Tips & Tools
I'm a 100% tech geek. And I will tell you that I use a ton of tech apps and tools to stay productive, many of which I share in the book. By far the most important and impactful tool I use is a simple document I use to organize my week. This sheet is what keeps me focused each day. I do it old school and print it out and carry it with me everywhere.
