Take ten minutes to picture yourself living any one of the Life Design Models for Double Agents. Each of them is described somewhere in the chapter. What would be great about it? What would it be missing for you?

• The Telecommuting Model
• The Schoolteacher Model
• The Farmer Model
• The Seasonal Model
• The Parallel Lives Model

If you are an unsatisfied Double Agent, you might want to do this for each of them.

Now do the same, for ten minutes, with one of the careers for Double Agents.

• Replaceable jobs
• Independent work
• Highly paid short-term work
• Jobs with built-in travel
• The Good Enough job
• Your own small business

If you are an unsatisfied Double Agent, take some time to create a Backward Planning Flowchart for moving toward one of these careers.

Write in your Daybook how each of these felt and what great ideas came up while you were daydreaming about them. In a new comment on this page, tell us which ones you tried on and what you discovered about them and about yourself.

Read all about Double Agents, then turn to the last page of the chapter for the Scanner Tool Kit items that best help them. If this Type describes you, try at least two of the tools. If it does not describe you, try one of the tools anyway. They are not only for people trying to pursue two incompatible-at-first-glance interests.

Here are the Scanner Tools recommended for Double Agents:

• Tool 1: The “Busting Open Either/Or Thinking” Game on page 127
• Tool 2: Your 2-Year Wall Calendar on page 138
• Tool 3: Your Destination Steamer Trunks on page 139
• Tool 4: Your Scanner Daybook on page 140

Tell us which tool(s) you chose and give us a review. If you found it helpful, you might also want to give it a page of its own in your Daybook. After you share your experience, read the rest of the comments and reply to a few.
