Self improvement can be individual and general.
Individual self improvement areas can be identified by drawing a circle and dividing it into eight parts and four concentric circles like it appears below:
Now mark in each part how much satisfied you are with the present state.
I have marked and circled the score. The picture now appears as shown below:
We now arrange the items from highest to lowest that is from most easy to work on to least easy to work on. The list will now appear as given below:
- Friends 90%
- Fun 80%
- Personal 80%
- Health 60%
- Family 60%
- Work 50%
- Relationships 40%
- Travel 30% Here % is correct but wrongly marked.
Daily work on them for an hour at the most.
Now start with top three items and decide what three things you can do to gain improvement. You can complete the tasks in a week.
Next do same for next two. That you can complete in a week.
Next do for remaining three one week for each.
Thus you would have achieved notable progress in five weeks.
Now coming to general improvement. We use same process replacing with new items. These can be physical, intellectual, skills, mind related thinking management, mind related feeling management, skills, communication verbal, communication written / expression. You can replace these with others like team work, motivation, leadership, public speaking, time management and the like.
Here you can do a task a day for four items for two weeks.
In this way you will be a better person in six weeks.
Now redo the exercise for each afresh. Does the picture look better.
A word about goal setting. Goals need to be broken into objectives and activities. So if I have a goal set in communication lasting one week I will have daily objectives and related activities. We focus on activities once mapped.
I wish you good luck and success. I have used it to be a top achiever in my life.
