KNOWING THE VOLUME OF YOUR VALUES.
When you fill the maximum productivity in your life.
ALLOW ME TO
EXPLAIN VOLUME.
The definition of Volume
is…”The combined volume of two substances which is usually greater than one.”
So the two substance we are
combining are: (1) YOU which is all of you…your mind, your body, and your
spirit. (2) YOUR VALUES – Having these 2 substances
creates your passion in life that will drive you to fulfill maximum productivity.
REALLY VOLUME IS LIKE THE
ROAD THAT WILL GET YOU TO WHERE YOU WANT TO GO.

SO THE VOLUME AGAIN WOULD
BE YOUR ROAD ...
WHAT MAKES UP YOUR ROAD
IS COMBINING THE SUBSTANCE OF YOU AND YOUR VALUES WHICH = YOUR PASSION. Which
passion will drive your productivity.
Think about it if you
aren’t passionate about something then how productive are you? Where is that road really going to take
you? Most likely not where you want to
go. Now there is one more thing to know about volume…which is that it also includes
time. How much time do you put into your road map of life?
Yes, we can just enter our direction in our
GPS route map and it will guide you and map out your route. It can tell you, by
electronic voice, the direction without you even having to look at the map.
But what if the machine is wrong or you want to veer off course for a little
bit to look at the scenery being fully aware that you will go right back on
course again. This is where you know how much time you have to do so and know
how keep track of your goals on your road map to success in life and in career.
How much of your values are you putting out in a given period of time? What is
the volume of work that needs to be done to create the goal or mission in your
life?
Productivity is a measure of the efficiency. SO WE NEED TO KNOW how do you
measure your life? When you know your measure in life ... then you can see how
efficient you really are in life.
Let us take a moment and write down what you think is the measure OF YOUR LIFE.
This can be challenging to do so consider these questions in order to find how
you measure your life: I am going to give you just a few moments to think about
these now; however, they will be a part of your homework in the next week:
● What value do YOU PLACE ON BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE?
● What is the HEART of your LIFE'S contribution?
● Are you here to play following the follower or
are you a leader?
● Are you in pursuit of a worthwhile destiny?
● When you consciously consider the value you’re
providing in life, do you feel empty and fearful or peaceful and fulfilled?
● What is the meaning behind your deeds you do?
● Was that meaning consciously chosen?
● Do you have purpose?
You cannot optimize your productivity without consciously and deliberately
optimizing these factors.
If we take Steve Pavling’s EQUATION OF
PRODUCTIVITY, he says: Productivity=
Value / Time
With the questions you looked at above
you can begin to see the measure of productivity you hold in your life.
Now let’s take this
even further so that we can put it into the equation. If you were going to give
the measure you see of your life a percentage rate what would you give it?
Would you give it 100%?
Would you give it 80%, 50%
10%...what would you rate it as in percentage? Give your life a % to measure
the value of your life.
Now let’s look at time and how much time you spend on the things that don’t
support the growth in value of your life. For example if you are at work 8
hours a day and you hate your work or feel like it just isn’t fulfilling then
you are spending 8 hours a day not
supporting your value. If you work 5 days a week that is 40 hours a week. If
you are doing other activities that don’t support the passion or value of your
life then you want to add those as well. Now you may have to take a guess here
on the amount of time you spend not increasing or filling up your value cup. So
go head and put an amount of time you feel you spend not fulfilling your value. Let’s base it on one week. So, is it 80 hours a week you spend on things
that don’t fill your value cup? Is it 100 hours a week, 50 hour a week how much
would you say?
Now we have numbers to apply into our equation so that we can see how just how
productive we really are or not… let me share my equation
I gave myself 80% for value
and 60 hours of time not fulfilling my value so putting that into the equation
80 divided by 60 = 75. If I put a percentage to that, it is telling me that I
am 75% productive.
True productivity is far more than value/ time. If you neglect this importance,
you doom yourself to the pursuit of spinning your wheels faster and faster and
missing the whole point of life.
The worst part is that you will sense a
hollowness and emptiness, in all that you do, because you are not living up to
your values and creating the volume in your life.
If the core passion of any task amounts to zero, then your total productivity
is zero. If you miss that the point of your life is in being balanced, then
your ultimate productivity will be zero. No matter how hard you work and how
well you attempt to optimize all the other factors, it still will be zero. This
is why it’s so important to discover your purpose, your balance and your
maximum productivity. It doesn’t matter how long it takes.
The
only truly productive
task you can perform, before you know your purpose, is to work to
discover what
that purpose is and the volume you can create and what road to
travel on and know when you will need to do a "U TURN" or to just keep
on going ahead on your road map of life.
Have fun on your new road to success & life!
