Month 3 – Filter

We all need a filter system.

In Healing-Centred Design we move from pain to power. This means mending the things that don’t work and tending to our needs along the way. Filters help us with mending and tending, creating boundaries and choices.


This months task

Filter is an organising principle.  It helps us decide, choose, focus.  When we want clarity, filter helps us sort and prioritise. This is tender work, people can be very attached to their beliefs about what is right or wrong, and thinking about decisions ahead of time helps.

Watch the video then have a go at the worksheet below. Submit to us by 15th of the month (members@brilliantthing.co.uk) for personalised feedback and resources. You can submit your written or audio reflection and /or the completed worksheet.


Decision-making

Decisions around boundaries and choices can be hard in the moment, especially if we feel under pressure. The peace that comes with being content with our choices is worth investing some time in. This worksheet will help you explore how you make decisions and create your own decision making model.

Where and how to enrich your work and life with the Filter Principle

These are some of the ‘Filters’ we regularly use in our work, you might like to adopt or adapt these or create your own versions.

New Work Filter – we use this to scope out work and establish if we are able to commit and what is needed to do so.

Finance Filter – We use this to keep track of invoices and payments, the drop down menus help us know what actions need to be taken.

Motivation Filter – When we want to understand our motivations for taking actions, we use this which helps us prioritise and decision on what to proceed with.
