In this video, I explore the "Why Not?" tool: instead of an action plan, I first make a list of reasons why a goal won't be achieved—to test my understanding of the task before I start planning it. I also show four of my analyses—drawing, money, body, and science—with four different types of errors I discovered.

01:45 What is this tool and where did it come from?

03:26 Step 1: Make a list of reasons for failure
06:02 8 types of obstacles
12:06 Why does it work?
14:57 Research

20:13 Step 2. Review the list
22:32 Step 3. Transform obstacles into conditions
23:38 Step 4. Assess the starting point
25:48 Now we're making a plan

27:39 Analysis: Drawing
28:35 Analysis: Money
29:40 Analysis: Body
30:43 Analysis: Science
