00:00so if there is one single habit that has
00:01most changed my life that habit is
00:03journaling I've been journaling pretty
00:05consistently since like 2014 and so many
00:07of the good things that have happened in
00:08my life have happened directly as a
00:10result of journaling consistently but
00:12one thing that is really really helpful
00:13when it comes to journaling is having
00:15the right prompts or questions and so in
00:17this video I want to share 10 of my
00:18favorite questions 10 powerful
00:20journaling prompts that I found enormous
00:23value in that I hope you will find Value
00:24in as well all right question number one
00:27is what would you do if money were no
00:30object now this question is so
00:31incredibly powerful and I ask myself it
00:34at like like every every 3 months
00:36because it's one of those things that
00:37like there's so much stuff that we do
00:39for the sake of money there is so much
00:40stuff that we do chasing like oh I need
00:42more money I need more Financial
00:43Security I need more financial safety
00:44all this scarcity all all of this stuff
00:46and it's really useful to ask the
00:48question what would I do what would I
00:49genuinely do if money were No Object now
00:52if you're a noob at this you will your
00:53answer will be oh I would just like sip
00:56cocktails on a beach in Thailand and
00:57just chill uh but if you've tried to do
00:59that I've tried to do that uh and I've
01:01realized it's not particularly enjoyable
01:02and everyone I've ever spoken to who has
01:04made load and load of money who has then
01:06just retired has been absolutely
01:07miserable because actually work is
01:10profoundly meaningful if you're doing
01:12something that you enjoy so there's a
01:13sort of followup to this question which
01:14is sort of question 1B which is if I had
01:17all the time and money in the world how
01:20would I use my talents to serve other
01:23people and this is also a really really
01:25really good good follow-up question
01:26because it takes care of the money thing
01:28it takes care of I don't have time thing
01:30and it specifically asks about talents
01:32and about service and a big part of what
01:34makes life feel meaningful is when we
01:36are doing things that we are good at
01:37when we're using our strengths and when
01:39we are doing something to serve other
01:41people so if you had all the time and
01:42money in the world how would you use
01:43your talents to serve others these days
01:45I I have a lot of like lunches and
01:46dinners and stuff with entrepreneurs and
01:48creators and sometimes students as well
01:49people seem to look at me as some sort
01:51of life coach or something it's like hey
01:52Olie what should I do with my life and
01:54often this is the first question I'd be
01:55like hm what would you do if money were
01:57no object and if they need a little bit
01:58of prompting I will ask
02:00if you had all the time and money in the
02:01world how would you use your talents to
02:03serve others for me personally asking
02:04the question what would I do if money
02:05were no object has led to a lot of
02:07decisions that I've made for my YouTube
02:08channel and for my business if money
02:10were No Object I would still continue to
02:11write books by the way you should check
02:13out my book if you haven't yet link down
02:14below and if you have I would really
02:15love an Amazon review feel good
02:16productivity it's about how to do more
02:18of what matters to you in a way that
02:19actually feels good but if I had all the
02:20money in the world honestly I would
02:21write more books cuz writing books is
02:23cool I would continue making YouTube
02:24videos I wouldn't do it on a schedule I
02:26would I wouldn't have sponsored videos
02:27but I would do it on my own terms I
02:29would still do YouTu videos I would love
02:30to be able to do workshops and seminars
02:32and stuff where I teach other people
02:34about productivity and like aligning
02:36your actions with the life you want and
02:37how to reach Financial Freedom and so
02:39really for me I realized after doing a
02:41lot of the these journaling prompts the
02:43main thing I wanted to do with my life
02:44was to be a teacher and that is what
02:46ultimately led to me deciding to quit
02:47medicine cuz I realized the thing that I
02:49would do to serve others is not practice
02:50medicine it's to teach and so that one
02:53question has single-handedly changed the
02:55trajectory of my life question number
02:57two is what would you like people to say
02:59at your funeral and here you can think
03:01of family you can think of friends you
03:03can think of co-workers and you can
03:04think of people whose life has been
03:07impacted by your work now generally
03:09family and friends and co-workers even
03:11are going to comment on like the
03:12personality traits and like how much of
03:13a nice person you were and all that kind
03:15of stuff uh but someone whose life has
03:17been impacted by your work is going to
03:18comment on the unsurprisingly the impact
03:20that your work had on their life so if I
03:22think about it for myself I'd want my
03:23family friends and co-workers to say I
03:25was Broly a nice guy very you know I was
03:26humble I was always there for them I was
03:28present I didn't let success and stuff
03:30get to my head all that kind of personal
03:33stuff but I would want someone let's say
03:35you're watching this and you might be
03:36one of the people who's followed my
03:37YouTube channel for a while or read my
03:38book or listen to my podcast and if you
03:40were to come to my funeral and my and
03:41your life has genuinely been impacted by
03:43my work what I'd love for you to say is
03:45something like Ali's content really
03:47inspired me and educated me and changed
03:49the way that I feel and that I think
03:51about what to do with my life and my
03:53career because of Ali's content I
03:55realized I was following a path that had
03:58been chosen for me not a path that I
03:59chosen myself and his content gave me
04:01the courage confidence and motivation
04:03and inspiration and stuff that I needed
04:04to change the trajectory of my life to
04:07me that is that would be absolutely
04:09freaking sick if that's what people said
04:10at my funeral people whose work people
04:13whose lives have been impacted by my
04:14work and so doing that journaling prompt
04:17and knowing that that's what I'm going
04:18for gives me a very clear North Star it
04:20gives me a sense of like okay this is
04:22the point this is the point of sitting
04:23down here and setting up the cameras and
04:24the lights and and like talking to
04:26a camera when you can have that level of
04:27clarity about the reason why you're
04:29doing your work it makes everything feel
04:32much more fun it makes everything feel
04:33much more meaningful and purposeful and
04:35it helps sustain you through the moments
04:37of kind of where you don't feel like it
04:40or where you're like tired and you know
04:41you want to do the thing connecting to
04:43that Spirit of service really helps the
04:45personal side is also quite important
04:46I've sort of brushed over that but like
04:47it's it's really like the personal side
04:48is really important what sort of spouse
04:51do you want to be what sort of parent do
04:52you want to be what sort of child do you
04:54want to be what sort of colleague do you
04:55want to be the things that these people
04:57who who love us and who work with us
04:58will comment on is is not like hey he
05:01drove 8% returns for our hedge fund like
05:02no one cares no one cares about your
05:04performance they care about how you made
05:05them feel they care they care about how
05:07you showed up and so often I'll think
05:10like what would I want my family to say
05:11at my funeral what would I want my
05:12friends to say at my funeral and then I
05:14will ask myself the follow-up question
05:16to what extent am I actually living in
05:18alignment with that and usually when I
05:20ask that question I realize ooh actually
05:23I have been overemphasizing work at the
05:26expense of relationships uh-oh let me
05:30arrange a holiday or a hangout or a
05:31dinner or whatever with some friends let
05:33me arrange to see my family a little bit
05:34more like usually for me the inertia is
05:37kind of in work because it's fun and
05:39it's meaningful it's like all that all
05:40that stuff and I know that like okay I
05:42actually haven't been showing up as the
05:43sort of family member or as the friend
05:44that I would like to be showing up as
05:46therefore I can make a change and really
05:48the whole point of journaling prompts is
05:49not that it's like sort of Naval gazing
05:51that you just do for the sake of it the
05:53whole point of like these sort of
05:54questions and these sort of prompts is
05:55that they encourage you to take action
05:57and to tweak your course in some way or
05:59another another maybe you do the what
06:01what would I do if money were an object
06:02and you realize crap I'm in the wrong
06:03career let me make a change that's very
06:05useful maybe you do the what would I
06:07want people to say at my funeral and
06:08you're like crap I haven't been a great
06:10friend recently let me make a change and
06:12nudge myself in that direction okay so
06:13one of the biggest tangible benefits
06:15that all of this journaling has had in
06:16my life is that it has allowed me to
06:18make lots and lots of money running this
06:19business and a lot of the decisions that
06:21I've made to grow my business have
06:22directly come as a result of journaling
06:24but let's say you were to decide to
06:25start or grow a business based on your
06:27journaling practices now you have all
06:28the spare money that has to go somewhere

07:17trading 212 for sponsoring this video
07:19okay the next question it comes from my
07:20friend Dicky Bush and the question is
07:22something to the effect of if I were to
07:24repeat the things I've done this week
07:26for the next 10 years where will I end
07:29up and is this where I want to end up
07:32and I think this is incredibly powerful
07:33you can do this at the level of day you
07:34can do that if I were to repeat my
07:36actions today for the next 10 years
07:37where would to end up I personally like
07:39to do it in a week because like today
07:40kind of varies depending on if I happen
07:42to have zoom meetings all day today it's
07:43like that might not be representative of
07:44a week but I think a one week long
07:46period is like a pretty good sense of
07:47like that is like the formula that
07:49you're following for your life so last
07:51week what did I do well I went to the
07:53gym four times yeah that's pretty good
07:54um I probably spent too much time in
07:56meetings last week okay that would
07:58result in me spending loads and loads of
07:59times a meeting 10 years from now that
08:01would compound in a negative way and
08:02that's not what I want with my life
08:04maybe I spent a little bit too long
08:05playing Bower's gate all all of last
08:06Saturday okay I probably don't want to
08:08repeat that every single week for the
08:10next 10 years you know I did two date
08:11nights yep that's a good amount I saw my
08:13friends twice saw my family once yeah
08:15that seems pretty reasonable and it's
08:16like you can really take an audit of
08:18your life if you were to imagine the
08:19last 7 Days repeated every single week
08:21for the next 10 years because everything
08:23in life comes as a result of compounding
08:24you're either compounding positively or
08:26you're compounding negatively I've
08:28decided that it's actually be helpful
08:29for me if I go to the gym at 8:00 every
08:31single morning great that's going to
08:32compound in a positive direction in
08:33terms of my health whereas in the past
08:36when I went to the gym maybe like once a
08:37week or like never and asking this
08:39question of like will these actions
08:41compound me positively or negatively
08:43again help me realize oh crap health is
08:45not on track let's make a change again
08:47this is all about deciding what changes
08:48you want to make to your life and if you
08:50can figure out this sort of Ideal week
08:51for yourself what does the week look
08:53like a 7-Day period where if you were to
08:55just repeat that every day for the next
08:5710 years you would end up in a pretty
08:58good place again it's not to say you
09:00going to be wedded to that it's not to
09:01say that it's completely set in stone
09:03but it's a helpful way of thinking
09:05because it helps us realize that we're
09:06playing long-term games here and it's so
09:08easy to make short-term decisions at the
09:09expense of the long-term game it's so
09:11easy to say h you know what just for
09:13this week work is super busy and
09:14therefore I'm going to skip all these
09:15workouts or work is super busy therefore
09:17I'm going to skip my date nights or or
09:18I'm not going to see my friends or I'm
09:19not going to sleep enough but all of
09:20these decisions compound over the long
09:22term so I really love this idea of copy
09:24and paste this week extend it out for
09:26the next 10 years see what happens is it
09:28good is it bad whatever you decide
09:30whatever you learn from this you can
09:31decide what changes you want to make all
09:33right question number four I also have a
09:34list of like hundreds and hundreds of
09:35Jour prompts which are linked down below
09:37completely for free I've got a
09:37journaling Hub where it's like a oce
09:39page that I keep updated with my
09:40favorite journaling prompts but what
09:41have I done in the last 2 weeks that has
09:43energized me and what have I done in the
09:45last 2 weeks that has drained my energy
09:47this is the energy audit and you don't
09:49even need to write it out what you can
09:50do is you can look on your calendar cuz
09:52hopefully you're living life by your
09:53calendar so you can flick for the last
09:54two weeks and you can see you can kind
09:56of color code your calendar events or
09:58you can even rename your calendar events
09:59with a plus or a plus plus if it gave
10:01you energy or a minus and a minus minus
10:03if it drained you energy and sort of a
10:04plus minus if it was kind of neutral
10:06this is something I got from uh
10:07Professor Grace Len's book uh think big
10:09take small steps really good book and
10:11we've also got an interview with her on
10:12my podcast Deep dive linked up there and
10:14somewhere but this is great this is the
10:15energy audit because again how we spend
10:17our time how we spend our weeks is how
10:19we spend our lives and if we can figure
10:21out what are the things we're doing that
10:23are draining our energy and what are the
10:25things we're doing that energize us a we
10:26can figure out how do I do more of the
10:28things that energize me and less of the
10:30things that drain me but B we all
10:31obviously have to do things that we
10:32don't want to do and sometimes those
10:33things are going to drain our energy and
10:35so we can follow the principles and feel
10:36good productivity for example the 3ps
10:38play power and people and you can try
10:40and find ways to make the things that
10:42you are doing that are currently
10:43draining you can find ways to turn those
10:45into a source of energy rather than a
10:46drain in energy it would be so sick if
10:48everything on your calendar was a net
10:50gain in energy rather than a net loss of
10:52energy and again it just encourages us
10:54to see what are the changes we might
10:55want to make to our lives all right
10:57question number five is the wheel of
10:59life this is something I've talked about
11:00a fair bit so if you're already familiar
11:02with this feel free to skip ahead in the
11:03video but it might be worth doing
11:05basically the idea is that we split up
11:07life into three different components
11:08work health and relationships now within
11:11Health we've got physical mental and
11:13spiritual or body mind and soul whatever
11:15that means for you within relationships
11:17we've got romance family and friends and
11:19within work we've got Mission money and
11:21growth I'd like to have a 10th category
11:23called joy and the idea for this
11:26question is in each of these different
11:28categories how aligned are my current
11:30actions with the future that I want how
11:32aligned is my current actions in
11:33physical health with the future that I
11:34want how aligned are my current actions
11:36in Joy or in romantic relationships with
11:38the future that I want if you do this
11:39exercise enough times you'll you can
11:40draw it as a little circle you can turn
11:41it into a graph you can track the
11:43changes in your Wheel of Life over time
11:45um I've got a bunch of friends and team
11:47members who are super into this stuff
11:48and so if for example I was hanging out
11:50with Tintin earlier today one of my team
11:51members hadn't seen hadn't seen him in a
11:53while and instead of being like how's it
11:55going I was like how's the Wheel of Life
11:57and he gets it because he's been doing
11:58The Wheel of Life every Sunday for the
12:00last like several years and he was like
12:01huh actually the wheel of life is pretty
12:03good I realized you know I'm actually
12:04maybe a little bit negative in this this
12:06and this area but actually broadly
12:07things are good it's a nice holistic
12:09kind of Life assessment and again the
12:11point of asking yourself this question
12:12is that you can identify areas for
12:14improvement like right now if I were to
12:16run the Wheel of Life on myself I would
12:18say my joy category is probably a 6 out
12:20of 10 and so I'd like to make more time
12:22for Joy which is why I'm considering
12:23buying a PS5 for whatever that's worth
12:25um and I would say my spiritual health
12:28my soul category is also probably like a
12:31four out of 10 because I haven't really
12:32done any meditation I haven't really
12:34been particularly mindful recently it's
12:35like by just asking myself the questions
12:38I'm already able to come up with some
12:39action points which again to reiterate
12:41is the whole point of these different
12:42journaling prompts question number six
12:44is the Odyssey plan this is three sets
12:46of questions the first one is your
12:48current path the question is what does
12:51my life look like 5 years from now if I
12:54continue down my current path next
12:57question is the alternative path what
12:59would my life look like 5 years from now
13:01if I took a completely different path
13:04and then option three is the radical
13:06path what would my life look like 5
13:08years from now if I took a completely
13:10different path where I didn't care about
13:12money and I didn't care about what
13:14people thought I talked about this a
13:15bunch of times in the channel before
13:16this is probably the journaling the
13:18journaling prompt that's most
13:19single-handedly changed my life I first
13:20did this in late 2019 and doing this
13:23Odyssey plan made me realize oh crap 5
13:27years from now the medical career that
13:28I'm in is not actually the career I want
13:30to be in that was super interesting
13:32caused me to make immediate changes to
13:33my life and caused me to end up here
13:35making YouTube videos and writing books
13:36for a living rather than being a doctor
13:38so I think it's incredibly incredibly
13:40powerful it does take some time to do it
13:41takes some time to think about but it
13:43gives a lot of clarity on like what are
13:45the options and sometimes you might even
13:46realize that like oh I just I've got a
13:48bit of a failure of imagination like i'
13:50I'm sort of imagining that I have to go
13:52down this particular path but now that
13:54I've written out my alternative path and
13:55my radical path my alternative path
13:57might be to become a music composer and
13:59sing a songwriter and my radical path
14:01might be to I don't know van life around
14:03the world for the next 10 years and be a
14:04photographer or something like that
14:05there is this really cool image um from
14:08Tim Urban's blog it basically shows that
14:10like our life has could have taken a
14:12bunch of different paths but we took one
14:13path to end up here but where we are now
14:15our life can still take an absolute
14:17multitude of other paths but it's so
14:19easy to think and be blinkered by the
14:21fact that like oh well I guess I did a
14:23degree in economics I guess I have to
14:24become a banker or I guess I did a
14:25degree in medicine I have to become a
14:26doctor and so to confine ourselves to a
14:29path that is not actually the path we
14:31necessarily need to be on and so the
14:33point of the Odyssey plan and these
14:34other sorts of sorts of journaling
14:35prompts is that they help us realize
14:37that actually you've got way more
14:39control and you have way more options
14:40available to you than you might think
14:42and so to me every few years I will
14:44actually every year when I do my annual
14:45review I will just redo my Odyssey plan
14:48just to make sure that I'm thinking big
14:49and I'm not allowing the inertia of my
14:52existing path to keep me on the road of
14:55content creator or whatever the thing
14:56might be all right question number seven
14:58is incredibly powerful
14:59what is the goal and what is the
15:01bottleneck I find myself asking myself
15:03this question a lot I also ask it a lot
15:04to people when I do these sort of pseudo
15:06life coaching and business coaching
15:07sessions with other creators and
15:08entrepreneurs and stuff what's the goal
15:10and what's the bottleneck the first half
15:12of that question is incredibly valuable
15:14what's the goal if you are struggling
15:16with absolutely anything if you feel
15:18like you're torn in multiple directions
15:19and and stuff you feel like you might be
15:21in a transition period of your life
15:22right now I suspect if you're watching
15:24this channel ask yourself what's the
15:27goal what am I really optimizing for and
15:30so often we get embroiled in our
15:32problems and we don't remember to ask
15:33ourselves what is the goal cuz the goal
15:36changes everything I was at a a writer's
15:39Retreat the other day we had this little
15:40like hot seat session where the idea is
15:42that you get you're in the hot seat for
15:4345 minutes and you discuss your problems
15:45or your challenges and then everyone
15:46gives you advice and asks you questions
15:48and one thing we realized is that
15:49basically all of us go in the hot seat
15:52and we were describing like a problem
15:53that we were having and someone in the
15:55group would ask what's the
15:57goal and and then the person in the hot
15:59seat was like hm I guess the goal is I
16:01want to get my business to $10 million
16:04okay cool what's the bottleneck I.E what
16:07is the what is the one thing that's most
16:08stopping you from getting there we don't
16:10have enough products to sell cool we can
16:11solve the bottleneck I guess the goal is
16:13to really enjoy my work life okay what's
16:16the bottleneck what's stopping you from
16:17doing that right now well I guess I've
16:19actually been spending a lot of my time
16:20chasing money rather than chasing
16:22passion huh that's interesting what's
16:24the goal and what's the bottleneck is
16:25often like a question that cuts to the
16:27heart of anything that we're struggling
16:29with and so it's a question I ask myself
16:30a lot when I'm doing my own journaling
16:31and it's a question I love to ask other
16:33people because it just encourages us to
16:34think in a way that we might not
16:35otherwise all right question number
16:37eight is actually a journaling prompt
16:39that I got from Brian Tracy Brian Tracy
16:42is like this old dude who's written a
16:43bunch of really good books about goal
16:45setting and productivity and there was a
16:48good YouTube short from a clip of his
16:50that I came across a few months ago take
16:52a clean sheet of paper and write down
16:54goals in today's State and then write
16:56down 10 goals that you would like to
16:58accomplish in in the next 12 months and
17:00write them in the present tense I earn I
17:02achieve I weigh I drive such and such a
17:05car I own and then you take this list of
17:0710 and you say if I had a magic wand and
17:10I could wave this magic wand and I could
17:12have any one goal on my list within 24
17:15hours which one goal would have the
17:17greatest positive impact on my life and
17:20usually this will jump out at you put a
17:23circle around that goal and that's a
17:25goal you transfer to a clean sheet of
17:27paper and then you follow the seven
17:29steps write it down set a deadline make
17:31a list of everything you have to do to
17:33accomplish it organize the list into a
17:34checklist take action and then do
17:36something every day if you'll just do
17:38this nothing can stop you but yourself
17:39so for me at the start of the year when
17:41I I led like an annual planning session
17:42for like 12,000 people in my audience it
17:45if you joined it then welcome back uh
17:47this was the sort of idea that I used to
17:50land on my own goals for the year for me
17:52I've got like three main goals work
17:54health and relationships my work goal is
17:56to get our business from 5 million to
17:57$10 million in Revenue for whatever
17:59that's worth uh my health goal is to get
18:01into the best shape of my life and
18:02actually over the last two months 3
18:03months I have gotten into the best shape
18:05of my life like I'm in better shape than
18:06I've ever been in terms of muscle mass
18:08and in terms of General activity levels
18:09and so I've got another 9 months to bulk
18:12a bit more then do some cutting then
18:13think about flexibility and Mobility but
18:15all of this is for the goal of getting
18:16to the best shape of my life which I
18:17realized was a really important thing
18:19for me on the health front and then on
18:20the relationships front got a couple of
18:22goals one of them is secret but the
18:23other one is to host six mini Adventures
18:26for friends and family and that's
18:27something that I'm working on this here
18:29cuz I think it would be cool all right
18:30question number nine this applies to
18:32entrepreneurs uh and the question is do
18:34you work for your business or does your
18:36business work for you I first came
18:38across this question about a year ago at
18:40a entrepreneurs Retreat that I was in in
18:42California of all places um and that
18:45question just sort of hit me like a
18:48baseball bat to the face do you work for
18:50your business or does your business work
18:52for you I L at the time oh crap my
18:54business doesn't work for me I work for
18:55it like I'm an employee of my business
18:57like my business is the the prison that
18:59I've created for myself and I'm a slave
19:01to that prison okay cool now that I know
19:03that let's change things up I want my
19:05business to work for me rather than for
19:06me to work for my business I want to
19:08make videos on my own terms I want to do
19:10stuff that I want to do I want to sort
19:11of I wanted to feel purposeful and
19:12spirit of service and all that kind of
19:13stuff but that question caused me to
19:15make a lot of changes in my business and
19:16therefore by extension my life and now
19:18I'm in a way less stressful place than I
19:20was this time last year I'm way more
19:22chill I enjoy the business a lot more I
19:24feel much more confident about our
19:25future as a business and finances and
19:27stuff and I feel much much more aligned
19:30with the stuff that I'm creating and the
19:31content I'm making this is a pretty fun
19:33video for me to make I freaking love
19:34these journaling prompts I love these
19:35questions but a year ago I would have
19:36been like no but like the titles are not
19:37clickbaity enough and like uh not sure
19:39anyone cares about journaling and like
19:41we don't have any products about
19:42journaling so why would I make the video
19:44but now I'm just like I just want to
19:45make videos that I think would be just
19:46useful to people watching them because
19:48the North Star is if you visit me at my
19:51funeral uh I want you to I would love
19:53for you to say that something about my
19:55content my books my YouTube videos my
19:57podcast whatever thing might be
19:58something about that content helped
20:00change the trajectory of your life and
20:02so if even one of these journaling
20:04prompts that I've given you out of the
20:0510 in this video helps you make an
20:08action or make a decision that causes
20:10you to take action that causes you to
20:11change your life that's pretty cool
20:13that's what I'm here for and then
20:14finally question number 10 if I knew I
20:16was going to die 2 years from now how
20:20would I spend my time now this is sort
20:22of a variation of like if you knew you
20:23were going to die tomorrow how would you
20:24spend your time but generally if you
20:26knew you were going to die tomorrow
20:27you'd probably do very destructive
20:28things things but if I knew I was going
20:30to die 2 years from now what would I do
20:33I wouldn't just stop working because I
20:35really enjoy my work and find it
20:36meaningful um I'd probably play more
20:38video games which reminds me I should
20:39probably get that PS5 and plug it into
20:40that TV I would probably see my grandma
20:42more she's in Pakistan at the moment so
20:44probably fly to Pakistan and just chill
20:45with my grandma a bit I would probably
20:47host more dinners with friends H what
20:50are the things I would do if I knew I
20:51was going to die 2 years from now and
20:53then why am I not just doing those
20:55things now obviously that's what the
20:56question is implying I do like to change
20:58of the time timeline sometimes sometimes
20:59I think okay if I knew I was going to
21:00die 10 years from now what would I be
21:02doing if I knew I was going to die two
21:04years from now I probably wouldn't write
21:05another book because it take took three
21:06three and a half years to write this
21:07freaking thing but if I knew I was going
21:09to die 10 years from now I might
21:10actually think you know what I think it
21:12would be really nice to work on two
21:13books during that time during for the
21:15next 10 years so really the time Horizon
21:17does sort of dictate what projects you
21:19want to work on but again the point of
21:20this stuff is not that you become wedded
21:22to the thing that you said in the
21:23journaling prompt it just gives you
21:25ideas so yeah if I knew I was going to
21:27die 2 years from now or 5 years from now
21:2810 years whatever the thing might be how
21:30would I spend my time and what of those
21:31things can I just do now so that brings
21:33us to the end of these 10 powerful
21:35questions that have personally had a
21:37massive impact on my life if you're
21:38interested in a more in-depth guide to
21:40exactly how to journal with like
