The sure-fire way to come up with your North Star for the next year is to really drill into your “Why?” To do that, focus on what keeps you up at night, what you want to change or disrupt, what ignites your motivation to plod through the toughest resistance. Between the two words you listed, “consistency” feels better connected to a Why. If you don’t feel like you’re following through on your goals, you’ll have a star to look for and that’s consistency!
Thanks Katie. I still have some thinking to do. That pesky Why, you know? It moves around. But there must be an overarching Why. Is it perhaps connection? I think it might be. I'll keep looking.
Oh maybe!! There’s a thing in the Quality industry/space called Root Cause Analysis “The Five Whys” where you just keep asking the question to really drill down. It would make for an excellent Morning Pages session (that you wouldn’t necessarily need to post!) Good luck my friend!
