I Want to Simplify My Life!

Written by joyenergyandhealth on . Posted in Mastery Newsletter

“I would like to simplify my life.”

 

62% of those surveyed in a 1992 study by the Merck Family Fund agreed with that statement. Yet, most people don’t make any effort at all to simplify their lives. And that is even when “not having enough time” is the number one problem in their lives. They continue their disorganized ways and refuse to change, which means the condition of not having enough time will not change either.

“Disorganized people are inefficient, because they have to expend extra time and effort—calling the bank to get a duplicate copy of a statement already received and now lost, running to the crowded mall at the last minute to buy a forgotten holiday present, standing in line on April 14th waiting to mail income tax returns. All of these activities waste time because of poor organizations and planning skills.” –Bob Bly in Make Every Second Count.

How to Find Your Passionate Work. Mastery Newsletter Oct. 2012

How to Find Your Passionate Work

This is the protocol I used to decide on a career. It works like a charm and you won't need any expensive courses or seminars. This takes care of it all. Ready?

1) Brainstorm….that means no allow no restriction to enter while you do this. Write out everything, but EVERYTHING you like and/or love to do. Do not try to connect it to making money or to anything else. Just write down EVERYTHING you like to do…in any order…just write and don't stop, keep going until you have written down absolutely everything you like or love to do. Don’t take the pen off the page or your fingers off the keyboard. Just keep writing until it is ALL down.

2) Now (and only now) prioritize them, giving them numbers from 1 to 20 or whatever.

3) Take #1 and brainstorm what you could do to make money from the thing love most to do. List at least 20! Again, this is brainstorming. The definition of brainstorming is that there are no wrong ideas. If it sound silly or impractical or both, it doesn’t matter. Just keep writing and put down everything that comes to mind. Do not allow your inner censor into the game at this point. There will be time for that later. One crazy and nuts idea might lead to another one and another one and it may lead to light bulb idea or a connection of ideas put together that may be JUST the ticket.

4) Take #2 and do the same, and

5) Do the same for #3.

You now have 60 things you can do to make money from stuff you love to do. Brainstorming means TURNING OFF the inner voice that interjects things like…"Oh but you can't do THAT" BE TOTALLY FREE whilst listing each list of 20.

When I did this decades ago, I couldn't find anything I really wanted to do from my list of 20 for the thing I liked most to do (sex), so I went to #2 (making money) and that, boys and girls, is the true story of how I had a 15 year career as a financial planner…and quite a ride is was too.

Let me know how it goes.

Enjoy the read,
Matti

FINAL WORD:

Quick “heads up” re the Mastery Newsletter: It seems as if something else wants to be born. As much fun as this letter is to write, the direction I am being led is giving me hints that Mastery Newsletter may soon be morphing into something else…and I am sure something far superior. Stay tuned.

That’s it for now. Enjoy your month.
