Stage 4) Branching Out
IKIGAI And How You Spend Your Time
Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means "reason for being" and lies at the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. It represents a deeply personal sense of purpose that brings fulfillment and motivation.
An effective exercise is to map out how you currently spend your time over a typical week and then compare this with your ikigai elements, identifying gaps and opportunities to align your daily activities more closely with your purpose.
