KEY TAKEAWAYS
The problem
It can be difficult to say no to other people, this can lead to a situation where you are trying to please everybody else. When in this position, other’s values are the ones by which you are living.
If you have creative energy it is likely that you will be excited about new projects and seek to take on new things all the time. This can result in you being someone who starts lots of projects but doesn’t complete them.
Undertaking and committing to multiple projects can lead to you becoming so busy that you can only be reactive to situations.
Feeling out of control and losing focus on what’s important to you can lead to you being stressed.
The Solution
Talking through your current situation will enable you to gain an overview and perspective. You will recognise what needs to change - from your workload to creating more time to look after yourself.
If all aspects of the projects you have undertaken are interconnected it can be challenging to envisage how to achieve the changes necessary to make your life balanced.
‘The Tough Decision Matrix’ enables you to achieve the changes you need successfully. It allows you to accurately plot each consideration against the values that are important to you.
To simplify your life, you need to make tough decisions about letting go of something or doing it in a different way ‘The Tough Decision Matrix’ can be effectively used in any scenario to plot out the challenges and clearly show the solution.
