To start, read the statements below and circle the ones you most identify with. Try not to spend time analyzing the statements; instead, respond with your initial instinct. Be honest with yourself, and circle only the statements that describe who you are today—not the statements that describe who you would like to be.

❌ When my schedule for the day starts to get out of hand, I stop, look at it, and quickly prioritize, turning down or rescheduling the non-urgent tasks.
