For each of your categories, dive a little deeper. Pick up your phone, open up voice messages, and pretend like I’m asking you, “can you talk about that in more detail?” for each one.

2. Or, the topic lights them up from the inside

Both directions are important. This is a narrowing process, so anything that you found to be in the first category can be set aside for now.

But what we really want in this exercise is to find the topics that light you up.

What are they?
