Chaos to Clarity: 3-step perspective shift

E+R=O is a great system for driving disciplined action. It’s an even better tool for improving perspective because while it can’t force you into better behavior, it can force you to see a new view.

Try this—break down what and how you see any circumstance into three categories:

  1. How you see the outcomes you can create.
  2. How you see the events you are experiencing.
  3. How you see the ability to produce the outcomes you value within the context of the events you are experiencing.

Life is messy. Put some simple structure around what you observe, experience, and envision. Carve out clarity through the complexity.

Train yourself to see through the lens of E+R=O. It’s happening whether you see it or not. Everything is E+R=O. The least you can do is see it and try to understand how it’s playing out.

It’s minimal effort for massive gains in self-awareness and situational-awareness.

Event + Response = Outcome. Do the work.
