How to Find Your Next Step When You Feel Lost

Reduce the size of the question

Replace “What should I do with my life?” with “What can I test in the next two weeks?” Clarity usually follows action.

Use three lists

Write what gives you energy, what you can already do and which problems people need solved. Look for small overlaps.

Run a low-risk experiment

Take a short course, shadow someone, volunteer or complete a project. Decide whether to continue, change direction or stop.
