Your Life is a Giant Project! Manage It



Dear loving people,

We live in a world where many of us are highly trained by corporations and organizations that we support on a day to day basis. The biggest question is; how many of us end up using that training to accomplish and manage everything in our lives? As a person aiming for the best, what are your goals and aspirations?  What are your dreams?  As a Project Manager, one of my objectives through Living Lectures is to enable you to create your next project or your next educational achievement, we are there to provide you with the tools that you need to manage your life as a Project so you can accomplish what you want to accomplish in this lifetime. Hang on as I give you a sketchy rundown of what we can do together…

To begin with, you need to Plan your work and work your plan. To do this, you will have to EMPLOY the most precious resource on this planet to manage your plan. “Who can that be?” I guess if your obvious question. Well, that person can only be YOU of all persons. Sounds kind of crazy isn’t it?

Once on board, it’s imperative to get really organized. You MUST eliminate clutter, create a new space and attract peace, abundance and fulfillment into your life.  You will have to free that lurking feeling of stress and overwhelm and leapfrog on all your projects. The most important question to ask yourself is, “what can I do today, this week, this month, this year, to get my life going in the direction I desire?"

If you truly believe that there is more to you than meets the eye, stop making excuses, and start living your best life today! If you are either on the verge of giving up, or are sick and tired of being mediocre, you can make a decision to start winning, by casting a YES vote in your favor today!

You don’t have to continue being stuck in that groove or being harassed by feelings of under achievement! Believe in yourself, you can make something of your life. Just don’t give up!

Considering that we are talking of you becoming the most valued Project Manager of your own life’s project, there are five (5) most important life management questions you have to come to grips with:

1.     What?
What do you want to do with your life? This is probably one of the most important questions that you will ever answer. The answer to this question will lay the foundation for your destiny. Once you have clearly identified what you want to do with your life, it then becomes the focal point of everything you plan to do. Knowing what you want to do, gives you clarity and a much needed sense of purpose. It also prevents you from engaging in side tracking, time wasting ventures which have no connection to your purpose.

2.   Why?
Understanding the importance of why you want to achieve certain things in your life, is the motivation that will drive you to accomplish the goals that you have set for yourself. Why do you want to achieve these goals you have set for yourself? Why do you want to get married? Why do you want to start your own business? Why do you want to boost your self-esteem? The answers to these questions must be compelling enough to move you into action.
 
3.   Who?
In order for you to achieve certain things, you need to take on certain qualities. Who do you need to become as you strive to achieve your goal? Do you need to become more confident, committed and action oriented? Do you need to become a risk taker? Do you need to be more assertive? Identify the qualities that you need to adopt in order for you to achieve your goals. Max Dupree rightly said that “We cannot become what we need to be, by remaining what we are."
 
4.   How?
How are you going to manage your life as a project? How are you planning on achieving your objectives? Do you have a step by step plan? Certain tools need to be in place to help you tie together all the pieces of the project you plan to accomplish. Having a plan is very important because it is the road map to your goal. It will help you know what information you require to make each phase of your life a success. For example, if you want to get start a business, how do you plan to start it? If plan A fails what is plan B?
 
5.    When?
Every goal you set must have a deadline and any plan you have, must cease from just being a plan, turn into action and produce tangible results. When are you going to be done with at least one specific goal you have set out to accomplish? When are you going to wrap up the project?
 
The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) defines a project as “a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service or result.” Your life is a giant project who’s only qualified Project Manager is you. If you want your plans to materialize, start taking action today!
