Make your goal one step above what you were asked to do 🪜

Not the Task

The goal is not the task you were asked to do.

One Step Up

It is one step above it: "what the person really wants."

For Example

For example, a friend asks you, "Please buy bread."

⚡ TRY IT
Climb one step up
💬 Your friend: "Please buy bread!"
👣 Ground
🍞 Bread
🍳 Breakfast
☀️ A slow Sunday morning
🌍 World peace
🧺 Your basket
Your friend asked for bread. Climb up and see!
🍞 Just bread. OK, but…
🍳 Oh, it is for breakfast! Butter too?
☀️ A slow Sunday morning! Jam, coffee, and a little flower. 🎉
🌍 World peace? Too high! 1 step up is enough. 😂
The Real Wish

What they really want may not be bread but "a slow Sunday breakfast."

Better Choices

When you know that, you can think, "I will buy jam too."
