Life Management Dashboard

THE DASHBOARD OF LIFE

MANAGING MY LIFE FOR MAXIMUM HAPPINESS

In process, to be further edited and tweaked, but usable

Standards: High functioning in each area of life. Not habituating, acclimatizing to a "new normal" this is lower than should be tolerated. If the rating is below an "A" (excellent), then you should drill down to the more detailed level (click on the link!) to correct what is "off". If the rating is below a "B", make haste to correct it to a higher level. Needless to say a "C", "D" or "F" should be corrected poste haste!!!!!! Give each overall area a grade also. We would best use this dashboard for the high overview of life all the way down to the everyday experience (so we can be on track every day). Print this out and enter the "grades" into it.

The objective: To have you "adjusting" all aspects of life up to where you would really like them to be and feel good about.

The reality of time: There is more than enough time. In fact, you can't afford not to spend the time to assure you are operating at a great level of life!

The levels of viewing life

Life: The View From 100,000 Feet - Start Here

Life: Descending To The 50,000 Foot View Of Life - Seeing Some More Detail

The frequency of observing life and adjusting/correcting it:

The structure of reviewing, in sufficient frequency: (Schedule)

Daily planning - Simpler

Weekly - The core of running all of life expeditiously

Monthly - To rise up to view some key items not looked at more often

Quarterly -

Yearly -

Life plan/review - Initial plan done, then reviewed and tweaked yearly (in general)

Additional assessment exercises

It can be very useful to see and use some of the "Life Tests And Ratings": See Overall Life Test - Do You Have Any Further To Go In Life? - a somewhat different way of viewing and rating life.
