I was recently thinking about life management. I wrote down life management system.
First thing was a budget, easy, how much you make/spend.
Then goals. Wrote a filibuster of all goals I desired to accomplish and by when in outline form. Then list all tasks required to accomplish goals. A time management system could be used to track and measure progress. the Franklin day planner has a good system for this where you set up a to do list and schedule tasks from the list. If a task isn’t completed that day it automaticaly goes to next day and is on your list until accomplished. Basically you spend 15 minutes at the start of the day deciding what tasks you want to complete.
Lastly I thought, some of the management can be tedious, especially if your easily distracted. I’m trying to act as though I am a manager, managing my life from a third party view. Like, ok, what would a manager do?

Just discovered the site. Was setting up a revised structure to manage all aspects of my own life and looking for help in a matrix sense. Looks good .. I yet have to read the history. Just let me, as an oldie underline the importance of keeping it easy to do. Always keep to simple structures until good habits are well formed. A trick I’ve used for years may also help … I used to find myself falling off the plan and having to go back and review it. So I have an audio record of the key points and affirmations on my cellphone (used to be a tape recorder lol) and listen to them before getting out of bed each day. A second recording can be used for short term task or project reminders. This practice helps to solve the problem of balance too … all key foci are sparked each morning. Do it easy…and remember to involve your sub-conscious in your plans … it can get a bit stubborn if you don’t!

I discovered this site just recently and I find it so helpful. Since then, I assigned this site as my homepage.

I am a little bit worried about measuring things and confront the reality. But it’s not late. I hope I will be courageous enough to continue and be successful despite the not so good measures currently. Thank you very very much for this eye opener post.

Mike,

I totally agree with the first guideline on how to measure life: MAKE IT BALANCE.

Balance is something we should aim from the beginning. Otherwise, we may take our life to the wrong direction and waste a lot of time in the process.

Life is too short. We want to accomplish and do a lot of things. Moreover, we want to be successful with the things we do. I totally agree with the first guideline on how to measure life: MAKE IT BALANCE. We often hear this advise but we tend to ignore it because frankly it is hard to do. Nevertheless, it is always worth to try.
