How to make better life choices
A short time ago I heard about the 10-10-10 strategy.
What is it? It can be resumed in what consequences will your actions have in 10 minutes, 10 months and 10 years from now.
How exactly do you go by knowing how your decision will affect the next 10-increments in your life?
Suzy Welch, author of 10-10-10 A life Transforming Idea explained it like this for Oprah radio:
1.- Decide on what you’re deciding. Make a decision about what issue needs to be addressed.
2.- identify all of your options. Go beyond just yes or no and do target all options in between.
3.- Look at the consequences that each option will bring to your life in 10 minutes, 10 months and 10 years.
The trick comes in identifying your authentic values and contract them to your 10-10-10 consequences. You can explore your values by asking yourself questions like these:
- Who am I?
- How do I want to live?
- What are my goals?
- What do I stand for?
- What matters to me?
We all feel at a crossroads at some time, every week. I know I do. I’ll start applying this strategy and see what comes up, I’m pretty sure it will help me navigate everyday life easier.
