In order to better
prioritize both our professional and personal lives, it's important that
we first identify key areas. Which aspects of your life need improvement
and are most deserving of your focus? These areas are what Tony refers
to as "Categories of Improvement."
A straightforward, yet extremely effective exercise for managing both
your professional and personal lives, assigning your Categories of
Improvement will help you create balance in your life, ensuring that no
crucial area is ignored. This simple tool shifts your concentration to
those aspects of your life that require more than change—they demand
progress. Get started with the following steps:
Step ONE: Create your professional categories
Step TWO: Give your categories new titles
Step THREE: Create a system for measuring your
improvement
In addition to guiding you as you prioritize your progress, your
Categories of Improvement will help you avoid overwhelm and prevent you
from living a life of mere reaction. Now that you’ve created your base
and developed your categories, you’ll be totally prepared to take on
even the most urgent and unexpected challenges with ease. Refer to your
Categories of Improvement and update often, then start looking ahead to
the progress that each new week—or day—will bring!
