Chapter 19, Exercise 2: Picture a High-Speed Indecisive Life Design and Career

Take ten minutes to picture yourself living the City Desk Reporter Life Design Model described on page 246. What would be great about it? What would it be missing for you?

Now do the same, for ten minutes, with one of the careers for High-Speed Indecisives:

  • Freelance writer
  • Researcher in a newsroom
  • Troubleshooter
  • Catalog compiler/copywriter
  • Inventor
  • Abstract writer
  • Stockbroker
  • Slush-pile reader

If you are an unsatisfied High-Speed Indecisive, 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. After you share your experience, read the rest of the comments and reply to a few. Who are the High-Speed Indecisives in this group?
