Couple weeks ago, I received a newsletter from a career advice seminar held in Morton Grove's Public Library - attended way back in May. I quote the "One Minute Career Letter":
We judge the quality of our lives by not just by what we do but by how we feel about what we do.
The letter comes with 5 Tips in summary:
- What you think is what you get
What you think about - happens: Good or Bad
- Write things down in one place
Clutter distorts focus. Strong focus come from controlled urgency. An easy place to keep written material (plans, thoughts, details, etc.) allows accessibility, reduces pressure and worry, and keeps everything in one place.
- Weekly "important things"
A "To-Do List" is not control. Determine outcomes for the week would produce feeling of production/success. Schedule activities into the week accordingly.
- Prioritized daily task list
Have enough tasks for the day. Determine the important tasks for the day.
- Governing values and principles
Principles to live by and goals to achieve for each. Definition of such brings concentration on importance.
In case I end up losing this piece of paper, at least, the information is posted here. On this note, I may have to organize
this list.
