Is It Working?

Which story are you running?

Framework 6 of 14 from Fix Your Thinking, Fix Your Life.

Why this one

Your answers had a lot of next year in them. It'll get better. I've put too much in to walk away now.

That's a someday answer to a right-now question. Not could it work, eventually, if everything changes. Is it working today, in real life? You probably already know. This is the chapter about saying it out loud.

Not "could it work someday." Right now, in reality. If the math doesn't math, it's not working.
From the book's field guide: chapter 6, Is It Working?
