You Can’t do Everything: How I’m Prioritizing What to Start, Stop and Continue in Retirement
Goal of this lesson:
Try this exercise to help you decide what you should put your focus on. I’ve used this activity a bunch before – both in my personal and professional life.
I love your use of graphs! I hadn’t thought to use such a visual representation of my goals before! And I mean, who doesn’t love a good Tableau! I’ll have to try this!
Tableau is so much fun to explore data with! I hadn’t realized how easy it was until recently. I’m still a novice at it, but I’d love to see what you come up with.
Love this method! I do something similar whenever I find myself at a crossroads in life (aka looking for a new job). It’s a great mental exercise to dream big and not set barriers for ourselves. Changing our lives depends so much on changing our habits which is a slow process.
Being at a crossroads is a good time to try this for sure. It’s sometimes hard to realize (at least for me) that I need to reevaluate in other times too.
I gotta say I love the detailed self-analysis complete with graphs! I’m a super data-driven person so I love this idea. I could see that self-analysis might be harmful for people who have a tendency toward self-judgement, but I can see real value in it for myself.
A lot of the mission statement & life goals stuff that I’ve done has ended up being super data driven. It’s refreshing to see someone else take a similar approach. So much of this work really is valuable but ends up being discounted by analytical people because they think it’s life-coachey-believe-in-yourself-mumbo-jumbo.” I’m allergic to certain language in this realm, but totally in to self-discovery and reflection.
Ohh yeah, good point – depending on the person this same exercise could come off as a lot of self-judgment. Being in the right mindset to use it for self-discovery, reflection and growth are important for sure.
I always love reading people’s well-thought-out self-analysis too! Especially when they’re reproducible activities I can try out myself. There’s some value in being able to self-assess and explore more of your own motivations, limitations, desires, and beliefs. It’s kind of like a self-guided therapy session.
Investment is one of the best ways to achieve financial freedom. For a beginner there are so many challenges you face. It’s hard to know how to get started. Trading on the Cryptocurrency market has really been a life changer for me. I almost gave up on crypto at some point not until saw a recommendation on Elon musk successfully success story and I got a proficient trader/broker Mr Bernie Doran , he gave me all the information required to succeed in trading. I made more profit than I could ever imagine. I’m not here to converse much but to share my testimony; I have made total returns of $10,500 from an investment of just $1000 within 1 week. Thanks to Mr Bernie I’m really grateful,I have been able to make a great returns trading with his signals and strategies .I urge anyone interested in INVESTMENT to take bold step in investing in the Cryptocurrency Market, he can also help you recover your lost funds, you can reach him on WhatsApp : +1(424) 285-0682 or his Gmail : [email protected] tell him I referred you

Wow, you do a lot of analysis on yourself at times! An interesting exercise, but I think I will pass on this one.
Great blog by the way, will continue to keep it on my blogroll of my site.
