343. The Only 3 Problems You Actually Have

Almost every problem reduces to one of three buckets: Head (thinking, ego, indecision), Heart (emotion, resentment, taking things personally), or Bank Account (resources: time, money, capacity).
Misdiagnosing the category wastes months—people throw money at ego problems or emotional fixes at resource problems.
Faster diagnosis = faster solutions. Different problems require different interventions.

Diagnose first: ask which of the three this issue most resembles (confusion/ego → Head; emotional reactivity → Heart; capacity/resource limits → Bank Account).
Head: force decisions, embrace ambiguity, stop waiting for certainty.
Heart: set boundaries, get coaching or a trusted sounding board, separate emotion from decisions.
Bank Account: get creative with trade-offs, reallocate time/resources, hire or automate where possible.
Don’t treat symptoms—fix the root cause appropriate to the bucket.

Identify one persistent problem you’re facing and label it: Head, Heart, or Bank Account.
