It makes things easy once you get in the habit of doing it.

Try some of these:

  • in a stressful moment: What next thing makes the most sense at this time given the current situation?
  • someone complains, ask: What can we do about this?
  • when in doubt: What are the next steps?
  • when things surprise you: What are these things telling us?
  • after a setback: How can we learn from this?

I got inspired by a post by Steve Pavlina I remembered from long ago, in the recent past I started noticing that my CEO and other senior project managers ask these kind of questions quite a lot.

It’s funny how common sense this is, all you have to do is do it.
