What is Impertinent Questions?

A daily impertinent question to provoke your curiosity. About who you are. And who you’re not. About what really matters – and what doesn’t. About how you can get there. And where there is. With a hefty wadge of why, how, when and what if. What you bring to it is up to you, from mild inquiry to full-scale intrusion.

How does it work?

You’ll receive an Impertinent Question in your inbox each weekday for a month. You’ll get 20 in total, each a 30-second-ish read.

How do I use the questions?

There’s no ‘proper’ way to engage with Impertinent Questions. One size doesn’t fit all, so I encourage you to be curious. (Of course I do.) Here are some ways other people use the Questions.

• Lots of people find a moment to read and reflect on them as they arrive

• Others save them in a folder and catch up on 2 or 3 at a time.

• Some save the full set, then dive in at random when they need a reflective jolt

• Some read them simply to spark a few reflections in the moment

• Others keep that day’s question in mind as they go about their day, examining their answers or trying out new ones

• And some set aside a regular half hour to wonder intensively, check their evidence and consider what’s next
