My daily questions are good for getting me in a good state, and for reminding me of things I can focus on that make me feel phenomenal.  But I had the thought this morning: what if I were to ask questions once a week that were a bit more high-level and could guide how I planned my time?  What if I was to ask questions regularly that re-oriented my life and planning to higher-value activities and goals?  It seems obvious, perhaps, but this is definitely not something that I have ever done; I’ve done weekly planning, but I haven’t been as intentional about questioning myself on how I might improve.  It’s a subtle distinction, perhaps, but I think it’s going to prove valuable in the next few years.

In a few minutes I came up with a starter list, that I’m sure I will be adding to regularly:

• What do I want to accomplish this week?
• What high-value activities should I engage in?
• What physical skills do I want to develop in the next seven days?
• What do I want to learn this week?
• Who do I want to make contact with this week?
• What foods do I want to consume?
• What changes can I make this week that will improve my life?
• What book do I want to read this week?
• What websites or apps do I want to avoid this week?  (For me, every week: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram…)
• What low-value activities do I want to stop doing?
• What can I do to contribute to my relationships this week?
• What can I do to improve the lives of the people I care about?
• What can I do to improve my life by 1% every day?
• What habits should I work on every day to try to make them unconscious?
• What can I focus on that will yield more happiness in my life?

If anyone else does this, I’d be very interested in hearing your thoughts.
