Are you living in the quadrant of the harried or the treadmiller or the distracted - or in the powerfulness quadrant?


It occurred to me to diagram the "quadrants" of life in a more meaningful and "applicatable" manner, so that you could shift your life to the quadrant of life that is the most life beneficial, the one that leads to true happiness and to a truly great life.  It looks to me that this is the only way to get to that level of living life.  If you are not familiar with Stephen Covey's classic The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People, you might want to look at the summary page: The Four Quadrants.

This is the link to the "upgraded" version that I think is more useful for you to break through to the higher levels of living life:  Living In The 5 "Quadrants" Of Quadrant II - Expanding Quadrant II For More Life Value Productivity.


Which "quadrants" does your time spent fall into?

The choices you have for living fall into four basic quadrants, which you get to choose from.  What % of your life are you being in these quadrants of life? (See the diagram to see what is in those quadrants, opening this in a separate window so that you can see both pages.)

 %
___ I:    The Harried - Low control/low results, stressed, pressured
___ III.  The Treadmiller - Low value actions (unimportant but "urgent")
___ IV.  The Distracted - Actions that are not of import and not really urgent
___ II.   The Life Powerful - Building life power, harvesting life fully


Where are you on "the spectrum"?

You might also want to indicate your present location on the spectrum from little power to full "life powerfulness" and truly living a higher, richer life (you might instead use the full spectrum copy on the diagram page):
                                                                                                     
            |           ....................         |
       Weak                                     Powerful
   Procrastinator                           Confident
      Anxiety                             Emotionally strong
   Fear, doubt                                 Fulfilled


What do I do next?

Just follow the instructions on the diagram page!

Bon voyage!  Have an excellent, excellent journey to your greatest life!!
