Lesson 11  Life Arena

The 2 Life domains where you spend most of your time: 

    * You

    * Relationships

    * Work 

 

Prioritize and time box "you" time

You are the most important person in creating your ideal life 

 

The you domain is the central domain that affect all the other areas of your life. 

This includes investment in yourself--exercise, sleep, meditation, creative hobbies, mental health, time for learning/reading etc. 

 

 

Benefits of time boxing!!

==

 

Don't be focused on the results. 

Focus more on the inputs (spending the time, creating the environment) 

rather than the outputs (results). 


 

(Example)

Deciding on when you will get in bed and creating the right atmosphere is within your control

Whether you can sleep or not is not always in your control. 



Creating time to write your book is within your control. 

Whether you will get an inspired idea or not is not. 


 

↓↓↓

 

Control what is within your control. 

Results come in combination with what is beyond your realm of control, 

so don't get stuck on only the results. 


 

There are time when you can't control the results, but you can always control your response.

Lesson 12  Relationships

 

Your family and loved ones do not deserve only your leftover time and energy. 


 

Create time intentionally just like you would schedule necessary work meetings. 


(example) Teacher spends time weekly with his daughters and picks out activities from a fun jar they created together. 


Twice a month he and his wife have a date day. 


(example of living values of equality) in house work etc. 

 

Timeboxing will help you to live in a way that is congruent to your values. 

 

People who have good relationships also live happier and healthier, and longer lives.
