The Power of “Deathlines”

Deadlines are the latest time by which something needs to be completed.

A "deathline" is if you do not complete a task by a specific date, it doesn't get pushed back but deleted entirely. "Deathlines" are useful to rid yourself of what you thought were obligations but were really suggestions.

How to set your Personal OKRs and stick to them

For the last few years, I've been fascinated by habit forming, personal development, and the process of "self actualisation" - unlocking the best possible version of yourself. I'm not interested in the sort of "self-help" personal development that focuses on building confidence and "getting what you want in life" - I'm much more interested in systems and frameworks that help people improve themselves over time and achieve clear measurable goals.

How to write a personal mission statement ~ Get Rich Slowly

What do you want out of life? Too many people fail to answer this question. I believe that writing a personal mission statement is one of the best ways to improve your financial decisions (and the rest of your life too).

Life is best lived with purpose

Life is best lived with drive and clarity. Our goals provide us with a navigating compass, helping us decide where to put our precious resources like time and money.

Shaping Your Life Plan

Having a life plan makes one get past the distractions and focus on what matters.Set aside an hour to do this planning exercise:

List 1: Jot down your lifetime goals, listing everything that comes to your mind.
List 2: Ask yourself ‘How would I want to spend the next five years?’ and note down the unbiased non-judgemental answer that comes in your mind.
List 3: Ask yourself ‘If I was to die in six months, how would I spend the time I have?’
List 4: Finally, list your most important goals, finding the common goals and aspirations from the previous three lists.

Drafting A Mission Statement

Looking through the most important goals, find the common thread and draft a plan of action for your life, a compelling Mission Statement, taking as much time as you want. Let it sit there for a few days and do not think about it.

Review the statement after a few days, see if it carries the magic that can be a guiding torch of your life, making any changes if required.
