You're in

Good. That was the decision before the decision.

Your access email is on its way. Day 1 is ready now.

Three things before we start

None of these take long, and the first one matters more than it looks.

1

Check your email and set up the feed

You'll get a private link that adds the show to whatever podcast app you already use. Do it now while you're here, so Day 1 is waiting for you instead of sitting in an inbox.

2

Bring one decision

Not your whole life. One thing. The conversation you keep not having, the change you keep almost making, the want you keep talking yourself out of. Write it in a sentence starting with the word whether. If more than one comes up, pick the one that made your stomach drop a little.

3

Find something to write on

Paper, notes app, whatever you'll actually use. Every episode stops partway through and asks you to write. Those moments are the work. If you skip them you'll have heard five good episodes and you'll be exactly where you started.

Optional, and it helps

Take The Honest Answer before Day 1

It's a short conversation on my site that names the specific waiting pattern you've been running, and it hands you a brief in your own words. About ten minutes, and it's free.

It makes the whole week sharper, because you'll be applying five days of work to a pattern you already have a name for.

If you already have your brief from the workshop, go find it and keep it next to you this week.

What happens next

Day 1 is ready now, and then one episode a day for five days. Twelve to fifteen minutes each. At the end of every episode there's a short reflection, four questions, about five minutes. Do it while the episode is still warm.

Listen in order and don't binge. Each day asks something of you, and the asking is the point.

In five days you'll have made the decision. That's the whole assignment.
