3 Ways to _____
This tool is designed to help you open your mind to new possibilities.
Start by identifying the challenge or decision you’re facing.
Then, in your Project Quartz journal, brainstorm 3 different approaches you could take, or options you could choose.
The goal here is diversity: you want these 3 options to actually be different from each other, not just slight variations of the same thing.
Once you’ve developed your three different options, pick your favorite, and implement it!

Inspired by the idea of Odyssey Plans in Designing Your Life: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life (2016) by Bill Burnett & Dave Evans. Their Odyssey Plans framework involves developing 3 different versions of a 5 year plan for yourself. The philosophy underlying this approach is that if you don’t have diverse options, you don’t have real choice. But by crafting diverse options, you ensure you do have real choice.
