When you’re rushing through the day, it’s easy to lose sight of what actually matters. In this Quick Win episode, New York Times bestselling author Chris Guillebeau shares the reflection question he asks himself to reset and stay focused. Chris also reveals how a simple 40-minute check-in can help you course-correct in the moment, without relying on complicated productivity systems. Chris and I talk about: The reflection question Chris uses to decide if the day was valuable Why he believes the ordinary moments in life matter just as much as the big milestones The 40-minute check-in that helps him reset and make the most of his time How Chris uses these reflections as a reset—not a rigid system Why Chris doesn’t stick with one method forever (and that’s okay) Key Quotes: “Every day has something, at least one thing, that is special.” “If the last 40 minutes weren’t that valuable, what do I want to do differently next?” Listen to the full interview with Chris here.
