In a blog post related to self-improvement goals, adapted from his new book The Earned Life, the renowned leadership expert and bestselling author Marshall Goldsmith talks about how the Life Plan Review can help you measure other goals you want to reach.
Goldsmith writes: “The Life Plan Review consists of four steps — weekly meetings where you answer fixed questions with a partner to improve your life; self-monitoring between weekly meetings; a weekly plan review based on its relevance and your personal need; and the importance of not doing it alone. When using the Life Plan Review, you will notice it provides other benefits. These include helping you define what matters, and making the rigid structure of the LPR work for you. You can use the measuring effort of the Life Plan Review to push you to define what matters.”
The number of people receiving unemployment benefits recently fell to the lowest point in more than 50 years, a sign that the U.S. labor market remains unusually tight. There were 11.5 million job openings in March, or nearly two openings for every unemployed person seeking work, while the number of times workers quit their jobs reached 4.5 million for the month — both record highs. Job seekers with a goal toward finding meaningful work might be in luck.
In The Earned Life Goldsmith uncovers the source of today’s existential crises, including regrets that stem from choices that irrevocably alter our lives, reroute destinies, and haunt our memories. These are particularly timely themes today.
With Goldsmith’s book as a guide, readers can close the gap between what they plan to achieve and what they actually get done—even in a world full of inescapable unfairness and curveballs—and live an earned life that is fulfilling in the long run.
