Why. A question often asked in the lack of understanding. This one simple question: “Why?” is by far one of the most potent and powerful frameworks to unravel root-causes. Bashing down symptoms as if one were playing whack-a-mole is far out-done in using “Why?” to locate, identify, and solve the root causes of the symptoms in the first place.

Focus on what brings the greatest leverage in the direction you desire. Leveraging your action is what throws some far further along the same path in the same time. How does one gain leverage? Using the framework to find the root cause brings clarity, clarity builds leverage. It is far easier to say no to many things when you know exactly what you are to say yes to. What’s next? Diffuse and solve it. Knowing that your affinity from procrastination stems from a deep-seated self-destructiveness, allows you to solve the emotions and feelings that lead to self-destructive tendencies rather than spending countless hours ‘stopping’ procrastination. The leverage of solving the root cause overcomes the minor victory that can ensue for solving symptoms.

Meditate.
