If You Had Just Six Words...

Posted at 12:54 PM on Thursday, February 21, 2008

In the USA Today yesterday I read about a new book called Not Quite What I was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure. The title tells you the premise - you have just six words to write your memoir. You can read examples and contribute your own (perhaps in the next book!) here.

This exercise got me thinking about ways you could apply this concept for focus and clarity - even if you weren't writing your memoir. Consider having only six words to define:

your beliefs
your goals
your vision
your team
your family
your leadership style

This process could be very helpful for the creative process as well as for crafting clarity.

Your examples in the comments are very welcome!
