Intention, as a test

One question before a step: is this taking me closer to where I want to be, or further away?

What it is

Intention, the way I use it, is a test you can run on any single step: “Is this step I’m going to take taking me closer or further from where I want to be?”

It’s small on purpose. You don’t have to know the whole road. You just have to check the direction of the next step.

How it shows up for me

In 2025 I set three principles: discipline, intention, and then precision. Intention asks if I’m heading the right way. Precision asks if I’m putting the effort exactly where it belongs. I use this one most at night, when the phone is in my hand.
