Lately I’ve been using this planning quadrant to plan my days. I’ve come to the conclusion that planning our day needs to be holistic. There is no such thing as work life balance. There is just life. And to have a balanced life all things in it must be planned and equally valued. here’s how I do it these days:
Read each quadrant:
As you can see the 4 quadrants are:
- Business / Job / Startup
- Me
- Them
- Ideas
The most important is ‘me‘ because it’s from working on these areas I can have a successful ‘business / job‘ and help ‘them‘. Next most important is ‘ideas‘ – we need to jot them down so we remember them, and get better at the other 3 quadrants.
Works for me – it might work for you.
Steve – totally with you on the “there is no work life balance…there is only life”. When your job is your passion, the “work” gets taken out of the equation. How’s the quadrant working out for you?
