Jeredb,
Thanks for the kind words! The concept also amazed me when I first learned it.
By the way, your answer on how to know if we have a good day is a wise one.

Wow! I love how you have distilled your definition of success down to “the four facets of prosperity”. People have asked me how I know if I have had a good day, and being a Buddhist, I answer: “If I have reduced suffering for myself and reduced suffering for others,” but yours is better.

I think I will be adopting the four facets as my new mantra of a successful day.

Brad,
You’re welcome. By the way, are you the man behind Joe’s Goals? It’s amazing!

Hugo,
I just let it go and go on with the present day. I use the daily tasks as guidance to better use my day, so I look at them on day-by-day basis. Sometimes I miss tasks, but that’s fine. I’ll try to do better the next day.

It’s a great idea. The problem with those daily tasks is that when you forget about them for a day, you will feel guilty the next day. So how are you dealing with that? Do you try to catch up or just let it go and go on with the present day?

Steve,
This is insightful for me myself. While I already have daily tasks for long time, the facet method helps me see how those tasks contribute to my prosperity. I especially like its balancing characteristic because I tended to focus on only one or two facets.

Craig,
I read about it last year in the book The Church in the Workplace by C. Peter Wagner. It is mentioned in only one sentence there:

In my opinion, prosperity has four facets: material prosperity, spiritual prosperity, physical prosperity and social prosperity.

I love its simplicity so I adopted it.
