#357 Big 3: Decade View + Core Habits

Energy + Love + Work ← Yours?

In our last couple +1s we talked about taking the decade-long view of our lives. Then we chatted about how to create great days consistently.

Again: You do those exercises?

You take the time to step back and see the big picture? Then do a quick inventory of the core habits that help you have amazing days? If so, fantastic. If not, get on that! 🙂

When I did the exercises, I found myself mapping out my decade view according to our Big 3: Energy + Family + Service.

Although I’ve actually iterated the Big 3 to Energy + Love + Work.

As Freud once said: “Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.”

← Amen to that. And, of course, we need the Energy to give to our Love and Work therefore, we’d be wise to start with Energy.

What I like is how our Big 3 model allows us to capture BOTH the Decade View AND the core habits that will help us make that vision a reality.

Here’s a quick look at what my Big 3 looks like this morning (always Optimizing!):
