This week I had fun playing with Adam Kurtz’s new book Pick Me Up: A Pep Talk for Now & Later. It is a fun book-journal-workbook-guide thing with pages of prompts for you to fill out.

One page in the book offered the space to “write some good advice.” Here’s what I was inspired to scribble down:

There are two tracks that I see people on as they set out to go after the things they really want in their lives:

Track 1: If you already know what you want

Track 2: If you don’t know what you want


Track 1: 5 Steps for Going For It…if you already know what you want…

      • Be present
      • Name the prep/steps required to get you there
      • Do the leg work
      • Name and cultivate the emotion that will serve you
      • Make the right jump for you

Track 2: 5 Steps for Going For It…if you DON’T know what you want…

      • Be clear on what you don’t want
      • Change direction when you feel stuck
      • Try lots of things – quickly!
      • Follow your curiosity
      • Pay attention to what’s working/not working
