Oh Esther, I’m sure you’ll come out of it. Did you take a look at the life audit workbook? It’s in the members tools page, and might reveal something for you, and the simple tools page 🧡
Thank you, I may need this! I have just resigned from my p/t lecturing job and am in a new relationship. So many moves towards joy, and so many fears and "What have I done?" moments. So getting my shit together this month may help!
It sounds like a great time for a life audit, so do take a look at that in the members page if you’re a paid subscriber. I have lots of posts about finding direction, like the one I mention above, taking the road less travelled, and setting intentions from earlier this year. It all sounds very exciting!!
I was just talking about a system similar to this I used in a job once. The traffic light 🚦 system. Red was urgent it needed doing now, amber was for stuff that needed doing soon but could wait and green was ideally what needed doing but we could function without doing them.
That’s very true! It was used during a business transition which was done terribly, so much needed to have been done before we arrived but hadn’t. I think I mostly hover in amber and green, occasionally something slips into the red but it gets there due to complex reasons (usually there’s a barrier in some way to me doing it). Thanks for sharing, these sort of life tips are always so helpful!
The Matrix was first developed by President Dwight Eisenhower when he as a General in the Army in WWII. I hope that Stephen Covey credited him with it in his great book (which I read twenty years ago). Nevertheless, I love that matrix and use it all the time.
Do you have more tips to share? How did you find using this grid? Are you naturally organised or more like me?
Oooh, this is so good. Perfect for my return to life and creativity I'm excited about now after months or depression and apathy!

I’m going to read this again when I do my planning tomorrow. Thank you!
It’s a great tool to help prioritise Mika, I hope you find it helpful 🧡

That’s another great one Sheila, love it. I think it would be good to combine the two, so we hardly ever need the red light. 🚦

I now see that you did credit Eisenhower. My apologies. ❤️
