Council
Recommend for maximum benefit to prepare a sheet of paper. Of course, the first time you just read, but when the second and third reading... grab a pen, start to take notes and turn them in to your individual project.
Two models
Some of us prefer to set long-term goals and to implement them, that is, to plan a life for 3, 5, 10 years.
Others live, as they say, one day, here and now, and not troubling himself thinking about the future.
Anyone happier? Honestly, we don't know. After all, even the division into these groups is very relative. And this article is not an attempt to find the "correct" universal life model, and show a method for creating its own unique happy life.
Imagine humanity with unlimited resources: an inexhaustible time and immortality, strong and stable health, eternal youth and beauty, infinite amount of money. In this case, of course, to live well on the model of one day ("I will think tomorrow"). All resources are reproduced (no matter where and at whose expense), and, therefore, may not hesitate to spend.
Now let's look at a real life. If we recognize that we don't have the time, health, youth, money, mind, then a strong argument to build life differently, given the limited nature of our resources and understanding the need of their savings. We are not too complicated? Simply put, when something is in short supply, it's time to "enable smart" and to think of how, with a minimum of resources to solve maximum problems. This is a project-based approach!
Project approach and life
Apply the project approach? Most active in engineering and business, and would like to see in everyday life.
"I have nothing to design. I just have enough and don't need anything". You can often hear such words. But this is just an excuse or self-deception. Even to sustain life needs air, food, a roof over your head - and that all resources.
How can we know that it is time to "turn on" design thinking? If we begin to distinguish the flow of life separate periods, talk about long-term goals, record milestones, milestones, achievements - these words will be the signal for us to include their design thinking.
Project life initiate our parents, and carry out its other - ideally, it is ourselves. By the way, and similarly in business projects: there are proponents, investors and have his performers and sellers.
But before you go up into space and begin to manage your entire life as well as manage a large project, we recommend you to workout on mundane tasks. For sure in life you have already had to implement now or you participate in one of the following projects:
- "Higher education". To select, enter and complete College.
- "A good marriage" or "Good to marry".
"How to start life anew in 30 years".
- Find something for everyone".
"The profession of my dreams".
- "Eternal youth".
A practical guide
That's it now you can put a pen and paper close to the log.
1. Starting question
This is exactly the question we ask ourselves or the world. It ultimately lies the essence of the changes in our lives that we want to do.
Starting question (S) can be set in different ways, and remember that it could easily be changed in the design process.
For example, consider the topic of marriage. Here are some possible options S: "How to marry a tycoon? ", "How to marry for love? ", "How to marry? ", "How to marry a perfect man? "
You ask us: a possible combination? Of course! His combination you will make and record on a sheet of paper themselves. For example: "How to successfully love to quickly marry an oligarch? "
Just want to warn you: please be realistic! Everything you need to pay. S initially sets the project scale, and the larger the project, the more they require more resources and are more prone to risks. For example, if you want to solve the housing problem and buy a house, the wording of S "How to live in the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg? " takes you on a project that requires a fantastic resource.
Here is to ask yourself: really I need this result? How important is it for me?
So, write down your STARTING QUESTION on the paper.
The main thing here is not to confuse S "How to marry well? " S "How to build a harmonious family? ". This is, frankly, are two completely different project.
2. The LFA
Now we need to consistently go through 5 key areas of the method of structural logic, which, for clarity, it is easy to imagine in the form of petals flower: the project environment, the problem, the purpose, alternatives and actions (see figure 1).
3. Defined risks
Each project has its own so-called POINTS of VULNERABILITY.
We need to define all sorts of events and causes, as a result of which the project will be covered by a copper basin" or achievements will be incomplete. For example: she got married, but not for those whom wanted. The perfect man, but not an oligarch. Husband oligarch, but not the man.
There is a good tool to search for risk, which is called the "target" and in fact this is a special chart (see figure 2).
Pay attention to the three concentric chart area:
1. The sources of risks that are manageable. For example, their own behavior, style/image, your own education.
2. Risks that we cannot control, but they are amenable to our influence. For example, the behavior of other men directly manipulate (fortunately! ) it is impossible, but to influence the behavior of men is quite possible. Remember the tale of Charles Perrault's "Cinderella"? "The Prince looked at me three times, smiled once, sighed one, a total of five. And I, the king said: "very glad to see you" once, "ha-ha-ha" once and "move along, blowing here" once. A total of three times".
3. The factors that you simply consider. Can neither influence nor control. For example: marriage laws, local cultural traditions, some human habits.
The chart is divided into risk factors.
- I itself. A significant point of vulnerability for the project. "In me many things that need to be taken into account".
Candidates in men, the groom.
- Relatives.
Life, housing problem.
- Money, material side.
- Culture.
- Other. We reserve the reserve for the first sector.
Now we have drawn on a sheet of paper, "target" and begin to write points of vulnerability of the project in the free zones. For example, where (in any sector and how far from the centre) you will write such a point of vulnerability, as "overweight"?
What do you think? What the sector in our project "How to marry well" contains the most serious risks? "I"... Right! Well done!
To determine the risks to life projects is not easy, but to do this you need. If the identified vulnerabilities, then consider that already half the way. The result will be the list of its features (the sector "I") and a list of qualities that could become points of vulnerability.
Examples of common risks for a draft marriage: choosy or, on the contrary, full promiscuity in men.
Point of vulnerability may be the age. I want to encourage you to be honest with themselves, conducting an audit of personal resources.
Now sort them according to the criterion of criticality for the project and the degree of controllability. Therefore, we find significant factors dramatically hinder the achievement of the result, but on the other hand, it is very manageable.
Now, knowing the risks, we can prepare and lay the straw" so, when will the fighting, the shells were already finished. It is pointless to send the application to the plant, when the war has already begun. Better after winning a battle to have a reserve of unused charges than at the most important moment of the battle not to have any!
If critical risks have gained quite a lot, you should make an additional plan for patching holes. After all, we can't go fishing (in our example for the search of the groom) with a leaky network (with unresolved personal situations). This behavior is at least silly. And sometimes, because the task is not to solve, and create for themselves, and other additional problems.
The results
Upon completion of the risks and having filled a sheet of paper, we can read our whole project. Since starting the question and ending with the events.
Most likely, you will want to rewrite itself with standard or goal is good and only shows correctly and honestly the work done.
Allow yourself to manage your life!
