Socratic Duck

Programmers sometimes use a technique called rubber duck debugging where a programmer explains their codes to an inanimate object (ex.: a rubber duck) (more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging).

You can do something similar to debug your life in general. To help remind you some questions you would like to think about more often, you can create a poster with a Socratic Duck asking you those questions (see image — poster seen at another collective).
