The north star

This series, I'm sharing insights from my book Work/Life Flywheel.

In this episode, I discuss why identifying the things that really matter to you helps you make better decisions on where to focus your energy.

Chapter Summary:

• Using The Code’s simple framework can help you define your values.
• Commitment to anything requires pursuing the goal while ignoring the millions of other available opportunities.
• Non-negotiables force you to identify the things on which you’ll never compromise.
• Establishing your ‘north star’ helps clarify where you’re going, even while being flexible about how you get there.
• If defining your values is difficult, concentrate on where you already spend your time and what you find interesting.
• Ikigai - a meaningful life - requires combining what the world needs, what it will pay for, what you’re good at and, importantly, what you love.
