'Hotspots' are an incredibly powerful way to see your life from 10,000 feet and determine what's important to you. The key is to use what you learn about your priorities from that elevated perspective and bring them down to earth to make meaningful changes to your work on a daily basis.

That means creating a list of your hotspots, setting up minimums and maximums for how much time you'll spend in each, integrating your hotspots into your schedule, and identifying threats and opportunities in each.
