HW9 - Time Waster Type, Rules of A Happy Life

By

First, I've been working on LifeSparcs.com . As you might know, LifeSparcs is the process of finding and achieving your goals without hating your life.  It has in the center of it a process framework that will help you get there.  But for now, what are the rules of LifeSparc?

Four Rules of the LifeSPARC process -   Finding and Staying on the Happy Track
  1. You have to write your goals the actions that will embody your happy life track
  2. You have find things that renew you on your journey for sustained energy on your happy life track
  3. You have to get some advice to make sure that you're actually on your true happy life track. 
  4. You have to repeat the above steps weekly, reviewing and prioritizing while on your happy life track

Note about the term happy life track.   This aligns with HW#4 -


Happiness is not a destination, nor is it really a pursuit, since pursuit infers you can catch it.  No, happiness is more subtle - you must be on the track of doing meaningful activity, and then notice that you're happy doing it.

Complexity is everywhere with finding our happiness track.  Its a journey of sorts, but with intention. You're constantly refactoring your prioritize based on your life stage, where you're at emotionally, your family life, your job - all of these blend together to form your life.  It is this amalgam that makes it so hard to attain a different possibility - our as is state has us already so overloaded, who has time to do that other thing?

And yet you must and that is the key value of the LifeSPARC process - to find your happiness track through meaningful activity despite the complexities of your current  life.

Here's a fun piece from Inc.  magazine - what kind of procrastinator are you?  It actually has some decent advice from Dr. Ferrari  (really cool name, dude.)




So what did you come up with?  I'm a thrill seeker. :)

That's it for now - have a great weekend!

Remember the mission of HappyWisdom? To counter the negativity found so often on line . Well, here's a nice piece from Vox . "In the 19th century, extreme poverty — defined here as living on less than $1.25 a day* — was the norm. In 1820, 94.4 percent of humans were below that line." While we're not done yet,  this is the best possible time to alive by far.

How to Deal with Office Darwinism

What is it with New Yorkers and Seattle? First they blasted us out of our coffee-induced happy-place with a piece on how everyone west of Interstate 5 will be cast into the Pacific Ocean by a massive, continent changing earthquake, putting the odds at 33% that it'd happen within fifty years. Now we have this this one on Amazon   and how they've built a modern day Hunger Games workplace. You see, it is well known in the Seattle area that Amazon does not consider work-life balance or anything remotely like that. Everyone in the area knows this, because we all know a friend or a spouse that worked or used to work there.   Its not a sweatshop, but its close.   Most people know this going on an interview there know this.  They figure they'll stay four years until they vest and they get out.  If they survive the infighting and bullying, that is. But I have to admit it - I had no idea how bad it really was.  If half the things in this article are true it's th...
