Guided ManoYatra tool

Regain Control

This tool sorts a situation into three circles — what you directly control, what you can influence, and what lies outside both — so that effort can be aimed at the first two.

How it works

Most of the exhaustion in a stuck situation comes from spending energy in the outer circle. The sorting is quick; the useful part is what follows, which is deciding what to do with each band. Things you can influence usually need a different approach from things you control, and naming the outermost circle honestly is what makes it possible to stop pulling at it.

Grounded in
