Not all hotspots will be important to you all of the time. To pick which hotspots to invest your time and energy into in the first place, Meier recommends that you:

1. Think of your hotspots as a portfolio. "When you think of your results as a portfolio, it helps you manage risk. You might be over-investing in some areas, while ignoring or under investing in others." "Your portfolio will have its ups and downs, and Hot Spots allow you to identify areas that need the most attention" and "carve out time for what's important".
2. Dig deeper, and name the outcomes you want from each hotspot. It is one thing to say that something is important to you, but nothing can inspire you to act more than creating a list of outcomes you want from each hotspot.
3. Identify which hotspots are the most important to you. When you pick which hotspots are the most important, you can direct your resources (time, energy, attention, etc) accordingly.

Another thing to keep in mind is that hotspots support and cross-pollinate with one another (like your career and finances, or your emotions and having fun). It feels great to create (and then follow through with) outcomes that kill two birds with one stone.

Hopefully I've now at least partially sold you on the high-level 'hotspot' way of looking at your life. Now that you've divided and prioritized your actions into different 'hotspots', what's next?

Here are a few ways to integrate the idea of hotspots deeper into your life.
