Understand
How You
Think
before you try to
change anything.
If you are capable, reflective, and still expending effort without seeing consistent results, the issue might not be motivation or discipline.
It might be the patterns of thinking that you rely on under pressure—or simply out of habit.
The Habit Finder is a short assessment designed to make those patterns visible, without labeling, diagnosing, or telling you what to fix.
~10 minutes • free • no obligation
You might recognize yourself if you:
consider yourself a careful, thoughtful person but keep revisiting the same decisions
are no stranger to hard work but feel that your efforts don't gain traction
alternate between clarity and inertia, without understanding why
sense that the issue is not what you are doing, but how you're thinking while you do it
These experiences are common among thoughtful people—especially during periods of growth, transition, or changes in responsibility.
They are not random.
And they are not personal flaws.
The Habit Finder is not a personality test or a diagnostic tool, nor does it:
assign you a type
score your strengths
predict outcomes
offer prescriptions or motivation
It is a clarifying measure that describes recurring patterns in how mental effort is organized, especially in moments of stress.
The goal is not self-improvement.
The goal is clarity about friction.
What You Receive
After completing the assessment, you will receive a 42-page report that:
describes your dominant thinking patterns
explains where those patterns tend to help
identifies where they commonly create friction
The report is interpretive, not prescriptive.
It is designed to be read, reflected on, and revisited over time.
There is no required next step.

My background spans psychology, adult education, writing, and performance. Across those fields, my work has retained the same focus: helping people slow down enough to see how their thinking is shaping their choices.
Coaching, teaching, and writing all stem from that core perspective.

Some people use the Habit Finder on its own.
Others later choose to explore coaching, writing, or ongoing reflection through The Difference newsletter.
All of those options remain available.
None are required.
If You Are Curious to Understand How You
Think
and how your thinking patterns might be shaping your work, your relationships, and your life—without being told who you are or what to fix—the assessment is available.
