Personal Quarterly Offsite
Companies do this every quarter; the same session run for one person
Three questions, taken over a few hours or a weekend away. Which essential thing are you under investing in, which non essential thing are you over investing in, and how do you make the swap easy across the next ninety days? Partners often answer separately first, then compare. The logic is one executive teams already accept: skip the scheduled step back and you spend the quarter reacting to whatever landed most recently.

Author · Essentialism
He and his wife Anna travel somewhere for a weekend and work through three questions: what essential thing are they under investing in, what non essential thing are they over investing in, and how to make the swap easy inside ninety days. An hour or two alone or with someone else still gets you somewhere, he says, and he likes doing it with an accountability partner.
