Summary: Life choices are so hard to make because there’s a Gap between important questions and their answers are filled with things that can’t be quantified. To answer important life questions, you have to start asking different questions.
It’s a long one, folks (almost 17 minutes!) – but I think it’s worth a listen.

- Evelyn has a beautiful post on the Gap as it relates to the space between thoughts. It’s a wonderful, informative read.
As I was uploading this screencast to YouTube (last week), I checked Twitter and saw that Duff released the second part of his interview with Clay in which they touch on learning to ask the right questions. Great job, guys!
@Duff: Great job with the podcasts. Thanks for allowing me a spot with the PowerUp! tip – I can’t believe the cheesy one made the cut! I really enjoyed the conversation last week.
@Clay: I feel like we’re swirling around the same ideas from different perspectives. You provide some really good insights in the series. Keep it up, my inspiring friend!
I would’ve commented there, and I may yet, but I did such a good job of screwing that up last time that I decided to make somewhat intelligible comments here.

Great stuff, Charlie! I also enjoyed chatting with you recently. I’m enjoying the audio and screencasts!
I love the efficient/effective distinction utilizing Bloom’s taxonomy, which I had never heard of before.
Have a great day,

Duffs last blog post..Episode 13: From Shy to Self-Confident
@ Duff: I stumbled through some parts on that slide at first but got it sorted out midway. Thanks for commenting on that distinction – when I thought about it that way, it made a lot more sense of the distinction than other ways I had seen it explained.
@ Everyone: Duff is a large part of the reason I started producing these podcasts. Through his example on Precision Change, and through a discussion with him, it was clear that this may be a value-added way to talk about flourishing and productivity. Everyone run over to his blog and thank him – tell him I sent you!
I really liked the effective vs. efficient thing. Sadly lacking in the productivity field in general.
Awesome, you cleared your inbox. But are you happy? Can your kids pick you out of a line-up? Does anyone love you enough to have sex with you on a regular basis?
These are the real questions.
