100% agree with @DxRxEdu and @rabihmgeha--a #missionstatement is essential to ANYONE who wants to be #missiondriven.
I often ask: "What's the WHAT?" Like, WHAT's the purpose or the point of anything I'm doing--or the impact of it?
Your #missionstatement defines that.
Yup. https://twitter.com/DxRxEdu/status/1347330629084577792

The WHAT helps me to decide:
What to work on
What to decline
Where to go
Where not to go
What to write
What impact I wish to have
What & who gets my time and energy
Aspirations & goals
It also helps me to push past my #impostersyndrome & keep going when I fail or fall short.

Here's my #missionstatement:
"To honor patients, learners, and the community through respectful and psychologically safe clinical and learning environments that celebrate and elevate diversity, health equity, and growth mindsets."
This is my WHAT.

There's a lot you can read on how to create a #missionstatement. But here's a helpful tip to get you started:
Find an anchor verb and build around it.
Mine is "HONOR."
Another good pro-tip: Stay as close to 25 words or less as possible (although mine is 26 words.
)

So. . .do you have a personal #missionstatement? Or does your old one need a revision? Let's cook one up!
Here's your ingredients to include (adapted from @Forbes):
What do I do (or aspire to do)?
How do I do it?
Whom do I do it for?
What value am I bringing?
And then. . .

Pick your anchor verb then try as hard as you can to get it to 25 (or 26
) words or less.
Post it in places where you can see it so that it serves as your North Star (to quote @rabihmgeha and @DxRxEdu.)
Now--here's an example:
An invitation comes my way. Hmmm. What to do?

After determining if I have time or want to do it, next I reconcile the ask with my mission statement.
"Does this opportunity align with my mission?"
Remember:
Stuff can align with your mission that you don't have time (or desire) to do. Be honest to protect your wellness.
