I've found a 2-step process helped me a great deal. The first is to identify the general broad areas that work best. This video by The Futur was really helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2SqqjRn_c0 It helps you find the overlay in Things You Are Good At, Things You Enjoy, Things that Help the World, and Things that Pay Well. In that venn diagram center you'll find the areas that are likely to be the highest successes for you long term.

After that, I took a page from Sam Harris' "Moral Landscape" to think about my 'journey' topographically. I know that where I am standing now isn't good.. and thanks to Ikigai above I have some vague ideas of where I'd like to head next.. but I don't know how to get there. So I just start walking. I JUST DO SOMETHING. Basically I'm just trying to get a 'better view' of my destination. This first step might be wrong, but at least that should give me some new insight to course-correct. Repeat until it works. Its not a sexy answer, but its an effective one.
