LIVING BY OBJECTIVES (‘LBO’)

THOUGHT    

MUCH IS SAID ABOUT ‘MBO’ IE MANAGING BY OBJECTIVES, BUT WHAT ABOUT ‘LBO’ IE LIVING BY OBJECTIVES? SET DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY AND ANNUAL TARGETS FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY LIFE.

COMMENT

 MOST OF US TEND TO GET UP IN THE MORNING WITHOUT CLEARLY DEFINED OBJECTIVES & A STRATEGY FOR THE DAY. THE AFRIKAANS SAYING APPLIES I.E. ‘PLOETER MAAR VOORT’ – THE WORST PART OF COURSE IS WHEN YOU WAKE UP & NEGATIVE THOUGHTS CLOUD YOUR MIND. SIT DOWN EVERY DAY OR THE NIGHT BEFORE & PLAN THE NEXT DAY BY THE HOUR & YOU WILL SEE HOW EFFECTIVE THAT DAY TURNS OUT TO BE. NOW DO THE SAME WEEKLY, MONTHLY & ANNUALLY! NOT LONG AGO MBO WAS THE BUZZ WORD IN THE BUSINESS WORLD & I THINK IT SHOULD STILL BE A GUIDING PRINCIPAL – HOWEVER WHAT IS THE PONT OF HAVING A FOCUSED OBJECT ORIENTATED OFFICE LIFE IF YOU PERSONAL LIFE IS NOT FORMALIZED IN THE SAME WAY?
