This is to be used by a reader as a "case study", where you can see what someone is doing and ask if you are doing the same thing. And then you'd link to the solution/reading pieces that are relevant for you.
Productivity Analysis - Daniel - Producing from fear, etc., with poorly differentiated estimates of true value, lots of problems left unsolved, and lots of bad results where it counts. He has difficulty utilizing The Reality Of Trade-Offs And The Concept Of The "Net Result".
Some pages have been originally written by Daniel but tweaked here for reading by others so that they can learn more. Of course, I have added the links also. I've also modified some of the languaging.
He is to be applauded for having been the pioneer in trying out many of these tactics and strategies and in confronting what he needed to address to make progress. However, at this time, he has chosen not to follow the recommended tactics and strategies.
So the story remains, unfinished with any good ending - but you can use it to avoid the same (or somewhat similar) problems.
It is a year and a half since he promised with "all sincerity" that he would do life learning and cure his "ruined life" (his phrase).
Pieces relevant to Daniel
The Integrity Game - He violates integrity all the time, and misconscrews it for just morality.
I Can Have It All - Wanna Bet? - Although this is meant for many people, it refers to Daniel as a person who operates on this fiction, fantasy, irreality?
He is always rescuing others, but he needs to Set Effective Boundaries - Freeing Oneself. And he expects to get rescued, while not seeing that he still believes in the paradigms behind being CoDependent (enter the term in the search engine).
He is stuck here, as described by his spouse: " It goes on constantly, being a little child, "doesn't know what he is doing in life." Yet he fails to diligently learn life, leaving this as an unsolved problem and creating a net negative for his spouse.
-------
Daniel has developed no base for himself, so he is dependent on "out there" and the approval of others, often frantically. He is trapped. The way out is to develop his own very solid bases.
