Your Endurance Quadrant

Think about activities — physical, mental, or professional — that test how long you can keep going.

Name the Two Axes

The x-axis is EFFORT (low → high). The y-axis is DURATION (short → long). These are your two lenses for the whole canvas.

low effort

high effort

List Your Activities

Write 5 or 6 activities from your own life that challenge your endurance — physical, mental, or professional.

Place Everything

Put each activity from Step 2 into the correct quadrant — be honest about where it really belongs.

Long Duration

Short Duration

Low Effort

High Effort

Fullest Quadrant

Which quadrant holds the most activities? Write it down and explain in one sentence why your life has been pulling you there.

Empty Quadrant

Which quadrant is empty or nearly empty? What does that gap reveal about the choices you have been making?

The Hard Placement

Go back to Step 2 — find the one activity you were unsure where to place. Write it here and defend your final decision in two sentences. Look at Step 4: does your fullest quadrant still make sense given this choice?

Your Avoided Quadrant

Which quadrant do you personally avoid — the one that makes you uncomfortable? Write one word that names WHY you avoid it, then write one line explaining what it would take to place something there on purpose.

Why that word?

Discuss Tell your partner: which quadrant do you think Courtney Dauwalter lives in — and is that where you want to be?
