1. "Let's think about why." - Deepstash

1. "Let's think about why."

"Why" is a magic word. It's like a linguistic can opener that pries motivations free, and separates emotion from objectivity.

  • "Why are we all competing to buy the same product?"
  • "Why am I working so hard on this one particular project?"
  • "Why am I so quick to respond when this demanding client asks something of me?"
  • "Why am I still working late nights and weekends, when my family would rather have me home?"
  • "Why is the person in that car yelling at me?"
