See what changed, what stayed the same, and what you notice now that you didn’t before. HOW IT WORKS 1. Write down an unresolved thought, tension, or decision 2. Answer 3–5 questions that help you look at it more closely 3. Get a snapshot of your current perspective 4. Return later for 2–3 follow-up questions 5.
