10 Steps to Accomplish Anything

Learn to work smarter, not harder.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE WAY I AM WORKING NOW?

Why is doing my best not good enough?

Well….. it’s like this.

Very often we have an unconscious desire that drives our willingness to schedule ourselves. We can over-schedule and then feel very rushed and important but always have things that we have to drop at the last minute like dinners with friends or things that “don’t take priority”. Clearly that isn’t good enough for most of us. Or we under-schedule ourselves and are left feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. (Not good enough either right?) Neither of these states is ideal. In fact, both states go against what Positive Psychology researcher Martin Seligman, defines as the necessary items for humans to flourish.

We all know how good accomplishments feel.

The five pillars of flourishing are:

PERMA: Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment

I like to think of this as my own personal “Terra Perma”… LOL

These elements, which we choose for their own sake, are the rock-bottom fundamentals to human well-being. What is the good life? It is pleasant, engaged, meaningful, achieving, and connected.
