Transcript

Harvard Business Review just put out an article called use strategic thinking to create the life you want. It was written by three consultants from Boston Consulting Group. And at first, I was a little bit skeptical, but there's actually some really good stuff in here. Their whole premise is that you can leverage corporate strategy fundamentals to inform your life strategy. So it starts off with seven core organizational strategy type questions and how you can apply them to individuals. The article is really long, and I really encourage you to read it, but I wanted to draw attention to some of the visuals. They literally plotted out strategic life areas or SLAs, relationships, body, mind, and spirituality, community tier society, job learning and finances, best and entertainment, personal care. Like, this two by two matrix plots importance against satisfaction, how much time is invested across the various categories. And then when you look at that plot, you can kind of think about how to reprioritize. And then last but not least, they actually have a worksheet you can download and fill out. It's nothing crazy. It's just a one pager. Literally, the questions are like, how do I define a great life? What is my purpose? What changes do I need to make to optimize my life against my goals, and how do I ensure that I actually am accountable?
