Monitor important live activities to be more productive

Brian Tracy in his book “Focal Point” describes a very interesting thing: if you learn that someone watching you when you do some activieties, you start to improve this activities. Nobody wants to be ill-judged.

Now, imagine that there is a person who always stands by you, 24 hours a day. Its grateful task is not  to the lowering  eye of you and monitor what you’re doing, how much time you spend, how often, etc. If you had such a person, would you do the same way? Would you do the same things and do them in the same way?

Probably not …

That’s why monitor and measure. What  you not measure, you can not improve. I think that measure is an art in which we paint the picture of our lifes. It sounds fustian, but this is the truth. Example: Remind yourself day in which you were alone in the house. What where you doing, how did you look? When nobody is looking, we give leeway…

What can be measured in everyday activities? According to me, almost anything. But we should not try to do this. We should wonder what will bring us benefits or improve the humor:) And the best is something that could be measured automatically.

I am not a advocate of measuring the activity that happens spontaneously or which hard relate to private life. For example,  do not attempt to measure and assess the moments spent with family and friends, or time to relax.

What is worth to measure and how to use it to be more competitive company we will write in the next  posts.
