Tool • Gate: Identity Crisis
North Star Definition
Purpose / Reason
What does "success" mean to *you*, completely
independent of external influence?
How to Apply
- State the smallest next action (≤10 minutes).
- Do it now or calendar it today with a cue.
- Note one observation about what helped or got in the way.
- Repeat for 5-7 days; keep/cut/change one element next week.
How & Why It Works
- Tiny, repeatable behaviors compound into clarity and confidence through neuroplastic change.
Results & Goals
- Immediate (0-72h): Less overwhelm; one value‑aligned action completed; early relief from rumination.
- Short‑term (1-4 weeks): Drafted identity story, 3-5 micro‑experiments run, clearer boundaries with key people.
- Medium‑term (1-3 months): Coherent sense of self across roles; consistent habits that reflect chosen values.
