If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today? If the answer is YES, go on (Steve Jobs used to ask himself this question every day). Would I want to call my best friend at the end of the day and brag about this accomplishment? Will this goal count five years from now? What advice would “X" (mentor) give me on accomplishing this goal? How could I reach this goal for today if I worked for only one hour? What is a completely different way of achieving this goal?
