Quick Spoon: Three questions before you take action

from People Soup

We often assume that if we're not taking action, the problem must be motivation. But what if there's more to it than that? In this Quick Spoon, Ross reflects on a practical framework shared by organisational psychologist Dr Joe Gray, based on the work of Professor Sharon Parker. Before judging ourselves for not following through, Joe suggests asking three simple questions: Can I do it? Do I have a reason to do it? Do I have the energy to do it? Together, they offer a more compassionate and practical way of understanding what's getting in the way. Something to Reflect On Think about one thing you've been putting off. Then ask yourself: Can I do it? Do I have a reason to do it? Do I have the energy to do it? Which answer reveals the real barrier?
