What Is Your Basic Purpose?

What Is Your Basic Purpose?

A great quote from Rabindranath Tagore: “I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.”

If your service is not joy then chances are what you are doing is not on your basic purpose. I have written an article to help you work out your basic purpose if you don’t yet know it. Please, take advantage of it. Your future self will thank you enormously for the time you invest in finding it.

Prioritorising Time Allocation

Prioritorising Time Allocation

True. Whatever you make the priority will consume your time. There’s a great line I read decades ago, “The job will expand to fill the available time.”

So the tool to handle this is a block timetable where you assign blocks of time in your day and week for the tasks to which you need to or wish to allocate your time.

If you block out time for the necessities and the desirables then you are more at cause over your schedule and life.

Of course there are nearly always unforeseens that come up (like the dog peeing or pooping where he shouldn’t) and need to be handled which is why some slack to handle them is built into a well structured schedule.
