Personal Success can only be measured against preset and pre-stated targets; I am going to be physically and mentally healthy for as long as possible, I will earn higher qualifications within the next four years and generate more revenue in my chosen field directly after, I will build trusting and loyal relationships with family and friends over my lifetime, but which carries the most importance - Health, Wealth or Relationships.A list of things-to-do in the short-term (today or this week or this month) generally point to the main concerns you have selected. Today; I will awake at 5am, exercise for thirty minutes, clean myself and go to work, spend 9-10 hours doing work related things, 3-4 hours with love ones and get 8 hours of sleep. Clearly your priorities are your earnings capability, followed by your health (noting that sleep is a health issue) and to a lesser extent your relationships. Many will argue here that without wealth both health and relationships will suffer. It is said that if your relationships calls for the constant pursuit of wealth, yours is a working relationship and your health will suffer draining your wealth.
Setting goals and objectives for each area of concern is the best advice. An exercise routine, cleaning the body properly, eating balanced meals on time and sleeping well must be planned and accomplished to maintain your and your family health (noting that if a love one is ill, this can negatively impact you). An education and work schedule has been drilled into all of us from a very young age to earn wealth (not just to meet expenses, but to save and invest). Very few people actually plan out a relationship to-do list; helping children, guiding younger friends, meeting with peers, sharing love and listen to elders.
Timelines are essential in each area of concern, records and reviews are used to fine-tune the results. Most of us would have come across wellness (exercise, hygiene, dietary and sleep) charts, education time-tables and work schedules, but has anyone see or heard of a record of social interaction which allow for a review by topic or by time interval? Yes, it is called a diary. Does this state the little emphasis placed on building and maintaining relationships.
Relationships, also called networking, can keep you and your love ones employed and out of physical trouble, can help your mental health by discussing confidential problems hence allowing you to sleep better. Relationships should therefore be given the highest priority and systems to manage these contacts must incorporate the time you last spoke and notes on the topic(s). No, your cell phone does not record what was spoken about, neither does it record the time and place of face to face conversions nor does it schedule the next meeting or remind you when it has been too long between interaction.
