Conative Check-Up

A New Start

It’s a New Year, which means a fresh start. Most likely, you are taking this opportunity to review your personal and company health. So, why not take this chance to engage in an Annual Conative Check-Up?

What is an Annual Conative Check-Up?

An Annual Conative Check-up is a quick reassessment of your “mind health.” If you or your team is straining under significant conative duress, than your productivity and physical/emotional health are doomed to a downhill spiral.     

Your brain is literally less efficient when you work against your grain.

Ready to Start Your Check-Up? (It will only take a few minutes but, if taken seriously, could change the course of your entire year.)

Ask Yourself These Questions: 

1) What tasks exhaust me, while also producing little results? 

Solution: How can I delegate, automate or rethink these tasks? 

2) What tasks do I naturally gravitate toward? 

Solution: How can I maximize, replicate or take on more of these tasks?

3) When does my team experience gridlock, frustration and progress-killers?  

Solution: How can we fill the “missing gaps” in our team? How can we remix partnerships/work groups for a more effective collaboration?

The more time you spend thinking through these questions, the more productivity-boosting benefit you will gain from the evaluation process. And don’t feel limited to an annual timeline; feel free to revisit these core questions every 6 months, quarterly, or even monthly.
