Preparing for your commitments audit
Taking some time to look at all the things you're doing.
Checking which you need to be doing and which you don't. That's what we'll be doing together.You can bring anything that is calling on your attention. Mundane practical matters. Competing responsibilities. Ambitions - or frustrations.BEFORE THE SESSIONYou are welcome to send me a voicenote or a text with any context and history you'd like me to know.You can bring a specific list of things you'd like us to address, but you don't have to.DURING THE SESSIONMy job will be to keep track of everything we are checking - and to ask you a small set of repeating questions.Your job is merely to answer the questions. Often this will just be a "yes/no". Otherwise, it will be limited to talking about things you're currently doing, and things you need to do.AFTER THE SESSIONYou're welcome to reach out to me with further questions or clarifications in the days after the session.

The language of commitments
For your reference, these are the five primary questions that I use in our commitments sessions:- What are you doing?
- Is this what you need?
- What do you need?
- Are you doing it?
- What's in the way?As you may have noticed in the sessions, even though the questions are very straightforward, by sticking to them we are able to navigate extraordinary levels of complexity.This works because, even though our lives are made up of vastly intricate webs of commitments, those webs follow a very simple logic. There is kind of hidden grammar of how the things we do fit together - or come into conflict with each other.By becoming familiar with how that grammar works we are able to move from merely describing the experience of doing what we are doing to identifying the intimate structures our lives are built on, and tend to them directly and deliberately.
