Your questions are a compass. Look at what you keep asking about and you’ll see where you’re headed.

Curiosity is more honest about direction than ambition is. What you plan tends to be shaped by what sounds respectable, while what you keep looking up at midnight is shaped by nothing but interest. Over time the repeated question is a better predictor of where you will end up than any stated goal.

Scroll back through your own search history or the notes on your phone and look for the pattern. Which question keeps returning in different clothes. Follow that one a little further this month instead of the plan you think you are supposed to have.
