When to use it
Use it when you notice yourself waiting for an old situation to come back after a change.
How to apply it
- Name the 'cheese' you have lost, such as a role, team, product or way of working.
- Write down the early signs that the change was coming, so you spot them sooner next time.
- Ask what you would do now if you were not afraid.
- Take one small step towards a new option this week.
- Set a regular reminder to check whether your current situation is starting to shift.
Tip: The book is deliberately simple; use it as a prompt for action, not as a full change method.
