Examine one
personal rule.

Choose one rule you try to follow at work or elsewhere in your life. Compare it with what you want and with the evidence.

Write the rule first

Use your own words. “I must check every detail myself” is a rule you can examine; “I must be a good leader” is too broad for this page. Once you have a rule, use the next two boxes to see where it works and where it causes a conflict.

Start with “I must”, “I must never” or “A good founder always”.

Name a choice you would like to make. If you see no conflict, write that down too.

Use an actual example. Does the rule fit every situation in which you use it?

This page does not send or save your notes. Copy them before leaving if you want to keep them.

Read it again before changing anything.

Look at the examples you wrote. A rule may be useful at work and unhelpful at home, or work for one task and fail for another. Write down what would justify keeping it, changing it or applying it only in a particular context.

You can leave with a question still open. If you want to examine it with me, the notes give us something specific to discuss.

From the “Your rules” exercise in my ImprendiHero workshop.
