It&#8217;s is a&nbsp;<strong>compass<\/strong>&nbsp;for the future you. A simple method for&nbsp;<strong>periodical reflection<\/strong>, focus, and direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The North Start starts with a basic template. It will help you get started with your first version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The predefined sections are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>The future me<\/strong>. Describe the person who you ware, who you want to be. Use&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/3miqs\/\">the three most important questions<\/a>&nbsp;to ask yourself, and write down what you don&#8217;t want for your future.<\/li><li><strong>Core Values<\/strong>. Let your core values help you with your most significant decisions. You can use this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jamesclear.com\/core-values\">50 Core Values list<\/a>&nbsp;for inspiration.<\/li><li><strong>The next 90-days<\/strong>. Determine your focus for the next 3 months. Think about goals, habits, projects and systems. You can use&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/university.hygger.io\/en\/articles\/2288376-ice-scoring\">ICE<\/a>&nbsp;(rate by Impact, Confidence, and Ease) if you need or want to prioritize.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, the North Star is&nbsp;<strong>just a content page<\/strong>. So you can make any adjustments you want, or add more headings and sections if you wish. You can even upload a photo or image if you made something in Photoshop or created a North Star doodle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Email the North Star to yourself every month (recommended), three months, or six months.&nbsp;<strong>The mail<\/strong>&nbsp;will be a&nbsp;<strong>reminder&nbsp;<\/strong>to check-in with yourself. A monthly moment to reflect on the work you&#8217;ve done, and prioritize the work you&#8217;re planning to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time your North Star will need adjustments. You change, and your desired future changes! So use the&nbsp;<strong>copy<\/strong>&nbsp;option (behind the title) before you make any changes and create a new version for your North Star. Browsing older versions of your North Star will help you to discover your personal growth. Progress is one of the best motivators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"738\" height=\"149\" src=\"https:\/\/mindwave.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schermafbeelding-2020-01-08-om-10.19.44.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindwave.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schermafbeelding-2020-01-08-om-10.19.44.png 738w, https:\/\/mindwave.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schermafbeelding-2020-01-08-om-10.19.44-300x61.png 300w, https:\/\/mindwave.app\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Schermafbeelding-2020-01-08-om-10.19.44-100x20.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, The North Star template is a&nbsp;<strong>co-creation<\/strong>&nbsp;of all Mindwave users.
