Three Methods of Controlling Your Life
We’re all trying to get more out of life, but there’s often a disconnect between the actions we take and the goals we’re aiming for. The reason for this is that we treat ourselves like workers instead of treating ourselves like managers. When you’re an employee you basically do what you’re told without asking many questions simply because that’s your job. You may goof around and you may take your time because, generally, you have little personal interest in the job before you.
By acting more like a boss you give yourself a deeper stake in the outcome of your actions and you feel as though you’re working for yourself instead of someone else. To act more like a manager you simply have to treat yourself like a company instead of a human being. You get to call the shots and you get to say what goes.
Managing Your Money: We all have some control over how we spend our money, but we also have control over how we make money. Sure, you know you have control over how you spend your money, but you also have control over how you make your money. You’ll start out as the worker bee but after time you’ll end up as the plain manager that everyone looks up to.
Managing Health: You control not only what you eat, but the actions you take. By taking charge and treating your body like a factory you can begin managing it as a manager might control an assembly line. The more good food you eat and the more you exercise, the more efficient and powerful your body is. If you’re having a difficult time being motivated, try to imagine yourself a little cartoon manager who literally controls how your body moves and acts.
Managing Time: Finding the time to get things done during the day is one of the most important skills you can learn. You need to treat your schedule as a manager would: prioritize the things that have to get done and the things that need to get done. Once your gain control over your time everything else will fall into place.
Managing your money, your health and your time properly will pay off in the long run. The better you get at managing yourself, the better you’ll be able to learn new skills and take your management to the next level by setting higher and higher goals.
