Find clarity on what fuels you—and what drains you.

$0.00

Are you feeling stretched thin by everything on your plate? Wondering if you’re spending your time on the things that actually light you up?

This simple grid exercise will help you sort through all the tasks you do and see them in a new way—by how much you enjoy them and how good you are at them. The result: clarity on what to lean into, what to delegate, and what might be holding you back.

I first discovered a version of this idea through an HBR article (“The Feedback Fallacy”) and later in the book How to Be a Great Boss. Over the years, I’ve adapted it into a 3x3 framework that makes more room for nuance—because life isn’t just black and white.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Make a list of everything you do—big and small.

  2. Map each task onto the grid (Love/Like/Dislike vs. Great/Good/Not Good).

  3. Do more of the things you love and are great at.

  4. Find ways to delegate or redesign the tasks that drain you.

✨ Bonus: Ask your team to do this exercise too, then compare in your 1:1s—it’s an eye-opening way to uncover hidden strengths and support professional growth.

If you like the clarity this tool brings, imagine what we can accomplish together with tailored support. Download it free today and take the first step toward working with more energy and focus.
