Post-it exercise

  1. Each person grabs a stack of post-it notes.
  2. Brainstorm ideas together for what your life could look like in 10 years. Think big. Bigger! Having kids, or more kids? Vacation home? Live abroad? Debt-free? A Porsche? Each idea should be written on two post-its, one for each person.
  3. Once you have ~15 ideas written down, start placing your stack of post-its on a wall or window, with your favorite ideas at the top, and least favorite at the bottom. No peeking at each other’s post-its until you’re done!
  4. Talk each other through your list, and why you chose the prioritization you did. Take note of any goals where you’re clearly aligned or misaligned.
  5. Write down your takeaways from this session below. If you like, start breaking down these larger goals into more achievable mini-goals that you can make progress on in the next year.
