Space
SPACE represents your greatest opportunity for development. It's likely that organizational skills are a challenge for you. Maybe you have a messy filing cabinet and your computer desktop is cluttered with files. That's okay! Set a goal this month to create systems to organize your work. It's a great foundation for more mental clarity.

MATTER

	Seldom/Never	Sometimes	Usually
Do you prioritize your daily tasks and address the most important ones first?
Do you use a system to manage incremental steps towards long-term goals?
Do you delegate work when your plate is too full, and follow up on delegated tasks?
Do you recognize when you are working on something that is not a priority, and set it aside for later?
Do you review your to-do list at the end of each day?

MATTER
MATTER is your area of opportunity! Is figuring out WHAT to work on each day a challenge? Maybe it feels like you need more hours in the day, because everything is a priority. Set a goal this month to narrow down your list of priorities, maybe even letting go of a few projects.

TIME

	Seldom/Never	Sometimes	Usually
Do you block protected time on your calendar to ensure uninterrupted focus?
Have you created daily routines to decrease decision fatigue?
Do you plan your day in consideration of your natural energy patterns, putting creative tasks at times when you have the most energy and focus?
Do you ensure time to work proactively each day? (Proactive work means creating original content, rather than just responding to other people/putting out fires)
Do you schedule/batch meetings in a way to minimize unproductive/dead time?

TIME
TIME is your greatest area for opportunity. Is your calendar a mess? Maybe your day is packed with meetings, or maybe you end up with awkward chunks of unproductive time each day which aren't long enough to dive into a real project. Set a goal this month to leverage your calendar more effectively.

ENERGY

	Seldom/Never	Sometimes	Usually
Do you schedule action on items that are inhibiting your focus or creating mental distraction?
Do you manage your day in a way that allows you to focus on one task at a time?
Have you taken steps to minimize distractions at work?
Do you have time each day that is set aside for your own reflection and processing?
Have you optimized your sleep, diet, and exercise for optimal learning and focus?

ENERGY
ENERGY is your greatest area of opportunity. Distractions are competing for your attention, and preventing you from making headway on your goals. What changes could you make to your habits that would allow you to focus more during your workday? Set a goal this month to improve your habits around energy.
