Card positions

    Current Work

    Describes the visible work situation and your role inside it.

  2. Position 2

    Opportunity

    Highlights a useful opening, skill, resource, or direction.

    Suggested question
    Which opening is worth testing with real evidence?
    Relationship to the layout
    Compare the opening with Current Work before deciding what Practice would support it.
  3. Position 3

    Practice

    Names the discipline or repeatable behavior that strengthens the next move.

    Suggested question
    What can I practice consistently to support this path?
    Relationship to the layout
    Make this position concrete enough to connect the Opportunity to a repeatable action.

Example questions

  • What is my best professional focus?
  • Where can I grow without forcing it?

Worked example

  2. Opportunity: Page of Wands

    Page of Wands in Opportunity points to an experiment that could renew curiosity.

  3. Practice: The Emperor

    The Emperor in Practice asks for a schedule, boundary, or system that gives the experiment structure.

Synthesis

  2. Opportunity
  3. Practice

How to bring the reading together
