The Fast-Forward Test

If you could press a fast-forward button to instantly be at the end of any activity you are currently doing, how often would you do it ?

Think about it. There are many activities in your life that you may enjoy to a greater or lesser extend.
If you could skip that activity to get to the next one, would you do it ?
How many times per day would you press that button ?
And for which activities ?

Would you do it for your current job or studies ? For the time you spend with a given person ? And what about time you spend on your own ?

Your life is composed by what you do everyday, a myriad of colourful moments that add up to create a magnificent ephemeral artwork.

Using the fast-forward test can help you identify which activities you are not satifsfied with, so you can change them, and the ones you love, so you can do more of them!
