One easy step in choosing how to create meaning in your life is to write down a list of the areas in your life that you find hold significance for you. It may look like the following:
- Family
- Career
- Health
- Painting
- Meditation
- Volunteering
What does your list look like? Take a minute and develop one for yourself.
Once you have a list you can think about which areas have Meaning Goals and which do not. Then you can start planning your Meaning Investments.
When you are done you have a view of how you plan to invest time (and therefore meaning) in your life.
Here is an example for my life. I set up my spreadsheet to give me 8 hours a day for sleep. I lumped in my coaching with my normal day job as career.
