Great book by Marshall Goldsmith: Mojo
Here we are in the ‘Back to School’ season with kids returning to their studies, and reorganizing our calendars and schedules. It is often also a time for us to look forward and identify what we want to achieve this academic year now that the summer vacations are behind us.
So what are your goals? Are you on track with what you had on your list January 1st? Is it time to ramp things up? Get additional support? Or perhaps even take our goals up a notch? If you’re not feeling inspired, perhaps your goals are too small. What is the bigger impact you want to make? What would have you feel completely inspired, energized and in fact so excited that you stop reading this email because you’re going to start taking action right now?
I just finished reading Marshall Goldsmith’s book “Mojo” and he talks about rating our activities based on different components as a way of revealing in a metric fashion if we’re full leveraging out time and energy. You can get a sneak peak at ‘mojothebook.com’.
In the book he also talks about the power of having an accountability partner. If you have someone to whom you have to ‘fess up to’ or ‘celebrate with’, that alone will significantly increase your probability of taking the actions that you really want to take, rather than letting the inertia of the current status quo keep its grip.
What are the components of your work and personal life that give you both short term happiness and long term satisfaction? How can you increase the portion of your day doing these activities?
What elements don’t give you either? How can you reduce the time you spend here?
