Today we are going to talk about a great tool called The Quality of Life (QOL) Enhancer Exercise. Almost everyone has lamented, at one time or another, about not having enough time in the day. Have you ever said or thought, “I wish I had more time?”, “If I had more time, I would _____.”, “If there were a few more hours in this day, I could _____.” Most of us, at some time or another, have probably thought or said this to ourselves and heard others say something like this too.

The truth is, even if we had five extra hours each day, we would probably still misuse the time and bemoan our inability to finish everything with which we task ourselves.

The Quality of Life Enhancer™ Exercise is a powerful tool. The through-provoking and fun exercise is based on two principles:

1. The more we can align our behavior with our core values (what’s important to us), the happier, more satisfied, and fulfilled we’ll be with our lives.

2. The more we delegate the tasks that are less important, the more time we have for what’s more important.

So often we make choices about how we’ll spend our time unconsciously, and this unique exercise is designed to help you make conscious choices. Roy Disney once said, “When your values are clear, your decisions are easy.” When your values are clear and you know what you need to do to fulfill them—and you realize there are only a finite number of hours in the day—the decision to delegate what you can is much easier to make.

The QOL Enhancer Exercise is a gift you give your clients, prospects and strategic alliances, centers of influence, friends, and associates. It is a gift of focus and clarity, and it can even help you and the people you share this exercise with to visualize things differently in their life. I believe it is one of the most powerful exercises and it is not utilized enough. When we use this tool, we can have a huge impact on your relationships and your life, not to mention when you share it with others.

The exercise starts with the question, What is more important in life than money?

Another way to you may think of it is: What do you wish you had more time to do?

Put that item/activity in the column headed Life Quality (it will be on the left side of the page). For example, it can be things like Being Healthy, Being Spiritual, Having Fun, Time with Family, Charity, etc.

The fact is that there are only 168 hours in the week. The QOL Exercise allows people to think about what they truly would like to do with their time. It helps us focus on those important things and delegate the rest.

Imagine for a minute-- how different your life would be when you do some of the items you wrote down on this exercise. It has a huge benefit to you and to others when you work on Quality Of Life items. Share this exercise with as many people as you can.
