The Attack List

Use an Attack List to get a handle on a problem that's scaring you. Lists are one of the most powerful tools in your arsenal for understanding exactly what's stressing you.

You'll get the PDF on the next page and in your inbox, then five short emails over the next five days on attacking what's on it, from me. No spam. Reply "stop" any time.

  1. Write the list. Everything that's stressing you. Job. Test. Spouse. The thing next Thursday. Don't solve anything, just name it.
  2. Lines or no lines? Do you understand the whole problem, or is it unbounded? Draw a line around what you know.
  3. Solvable or unsolvable? Fix or endure. You can't solve death. You can solve anxiety.
  4. Finish line first. Envision the end. You passed the test. You made the move. You won the claim.
  5. Chain it, then attack. Work forwards or backwards from here to solved. Take the first link today.
