You will learn to manage your energy and analyze your actions, achievements, and experiences.
The result will be a formed character, created by daily volitional actions.
In 1910, in the center of Paris at Sorbonne, the president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, gave a speech.
One of the passages of the speech became known as “The Man in the Arena”:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
Do you ever find yourself asking: “Who am I? The one in the arena, or a spectator?”
REVIEW:
Misha Saidov is an experienced life and performance coach, author, and founder of the Institute of Metacognitive Programming and the coaching company, Think Meta. His latest project is The Efficiency Journal, a self-contained time management tool that is applicable to anyone’s successful use in the form of a do-it-yourself self-examination journal.
The program follows these simple and successful five points developed over a century ago and attributed to productivity consultant Ivy Lee.
1. At the end of each working day, write down the six most important things you need to accomplish tomorrow.
2. Prioritize those six items according to their true importance.
3. Tomorrow, concentrate only on the first task.
4. Work until the first task is finished before moving on to the second task. Approach the rest of your list in the same fashion.
5. Repeat this process every working day.
The journal is organized into 12-week periods and stimulates users to begin by identifying one’s goals and breaking down the individual tasks that need to be accomplished to achieve these goals, clearly requires examination of one’s aspirations, developing a plan of attack, reflection on progress and results, and re-evaluation of processes and tasks. It requires paying attention to where you want to go, determining how to get there, removing obstacles and eliminating activities that don’t further or support achieving those goals, acknowledging successes, and rewarding oneself for positive progress.
I recommend THE EFFICIENCY JOURNAL to anyone looking to energize their work life or life in general and achieve their dreams.
Thanks for hosting!
