What Color Is Your Parachute 2018 by Richard N. Bolles copy

Why Bad: Too broad. Doesn’t really offer any help in making a decision. And
it isn’t prioritized, as a good petal must be.
Petal Seven, Worksheet #1
A CHART: WHAT I LIKED OR DISLIKED ABOUT PLACES I HAVE
LIVED
Directions for doing this exercise:
Copy the chart found on this page, onto a larger (11 x 17-inch) piece of
paper or cardboard, which you can obtain from any arts and crafts store or
supermarket, in your town or city. And if you are doing this exercise with
a partner, make a copy for them too, so that each of you is working on a
clean copy of your own, and can follow these instructions independently.
Now, as to how you fill out this chart:
COLUMN 1 In Column 1, you should list all the places where you have
ever lived. (If you are doing this exercise with a partner, they should
make their own list on their own worksheet.)
COLUMN 2 In Column 2, you should list all the factors you disliked
(and still do) about each place. The negative factors do not have to be
put exactly opposite the place in Column 1. The names in Column 1
exist simply as pegs on which to hang your memory.
If the same factors keep repeating, just put a check mark after the first
listing of that factor, every time it repeats.
Keep going until you have listed all the factors you disliked or hated
about each and every place you named in Column 1. Now, in effect,
throw away Column 1; discard it from your thoughts. The negative
factors were what you were after. Column 1 has served its purpose.
(As you go, if you recall some things you liked about any place, list
those factors at the bottom of the next column, Column 3.)
COLUMN 3 Look at Column 2, your list of negative factors, and in
Column 3 try to list each one’s opposite (or near opposite). For example,
“the sun never shone, there” would, in Column 3, be turned into “mostly
sunny, all year-round.” It will not always be the exact opposite. For
