Loving the recession, goals
I found a good article, Loving The Recession, on Biznik.com last week.
It’s surprising, Steven pretty much takes ideas that I’ve had, and distills them into a potent brew. He talks about 4 questions which are important when moving forward in life:
What are your core values?
What your vision for yourself?
What steps are needed to meet that vision?
What support do you need to pursue that vision?
When I talk to anyone, I try to get to know them through their core values. As an example, I find that really good tango dancing brings joy into my life. When I tried to figure out why, I found that I enjoyed the connection, creativity, and personal growth associated with the dance. Bear in mind this took a week for me to work this out.
Often we are hypercritical of ourselves. In a way, it’s a form of egoism. Why are we so special that we need to be better than everyone else? We’re stuck in this point of view, whereas if we were looking at anyone else with the exact same circumstances, we’d be much more constructive. If we’re able to be more objective, and work our goals incrementally, it’s possible to have a lot of progress.
Looking specifically at my personal productivity project, I’ve made some changes. First off, tracking each individual task while I’m doing it is a pain. I’ve been using Rescuetime instead to get a view of how much I actually work. I’ve also added the habit of journaling 3 times a week to track how I’m doing in relationship to my goals. I hope that this change will help me be more effective in creating a really good product for dancers.
