Curiosity --> Important Work --> Flow --> Goals --> Calling

Curiosity --> Important Work --> Flow --> Goals --> Calling

NOTES:

Master one layer at a time, starting from the bottom up....because each layer creates a strong foundation for the next.

Recognizing things that you are WILDLY CURIOUS ABOUT or want to get REALLY REALLY GOOD AT typically leads you to work that is Important.

IMPORTANT WORK requires immense engagement and focus, which means you're more likely to fall into FLOW.

Experiencing FLOW on a regular basis then allows you to master GETTING INTO FLOW more QUICKLY and STAYING IN FLOW longer (rather than just aimlessly riding the waves of flow whenever they hit you).

Using SMART GOALS and/or BHAGS to FOCUS YOUR FLOW gives your superpowers + effort PURPOSE + MEANING + POWER to CHANGE THE WORLD.

Eventually would like to create a personal productivity Hero Playlist helping learners level-up from Curiosity all the way to SMART Goals.

At AANWA, in Year 3, we suspected that we've actually been getting this backward the whole time and made a deliberate shift in focus to Discovering Important Work and Finding Flow and further away from academically framed goals.
