A Lifetime in a Weekend
Last weekend I managed to get some significant activity happening around 5 of my highest values. I'm not sure whether it was this that set me up for one of the most productive weeks I have had, but I'd like to think that it put me in exactly the right frame of mind. This is what I did:
Took my wife out to dinner (relationship)
Went to a seminar and did some reading (mind)
Worked on my business (wealth)
Cooked for and ate dinner with my wife and children (family)
Did some meditation and affirmations (soul)
Acted in a short film - (creativity)
Vege'd out in front of the TV (me)
The only major thing missing was exercise!! (health)
Maybe it is a simple as the Pareto Principle at work? You know - where 80% of your results comes from 20% of your efforts.
That certainly has been my focus all of this week i.e. What is the best use of my time right now? Is this contributing to my progress? Does this serve my higher purpose? These are my favourite questions - that's why they are in bold :-)
I'm so looking forward to this weekend. How about you?
