Several years ago, I developed a two-question tool to help me discern, prevent burnout, and think critically.
I try to ask the same two questions when I come across a captivating news story, organizational statement, piece of legislation, work memo, church policy, even the occasional meme.
Who benefits here? Who pays the cost?
The answers are usually straightforward and easy to find, after a pause and some consideration. This approach hasn’t failed me yet, and I’ve found it helpful with informing my next steps in the moment.
