A New Start
It’s a
New Year, which means a fresh start. Most likely, you are taking this
opportunity to review your personal and company health. So, why not take
this chance to engage in an Annual Conative Check-Up?
What is an Annual Conative Check-Up?
An Annual Conative Check-up is a quick reassessment of your “mind
health.” If you or your team is straining under significant conative duress,
than your productivity and physical/emotional health are doomed to a downhill
spiral.
Your brain is literally less efficient when you work against your
grain.
Ready to Start Your Check-Up? (It will only take a
few minutes but, if taken seriously, could change the course of your entire
year.)
Ask
Yourself These Questions:
1) What tasks exhaust me, while also producing little results?
Solution: How can I delegate, automate or rethink these tasks?
2) What tasks do I naturally gravitate toward?
Solution: How can I maximize, replicate or take on more of these tasks?
1) What tasks exhaust me, while also producing little results?
Solution: How can I delegate, automate or rethink these tasks?
2) What tasks do I naturally gravitate toward?
Solution: How can I maximize, replicate or take on more of these tasks?
3) When does my team experience gridlock, frustration and progress-killers?
Solution: How can we fill the “missing gaps” in our team? How can we remix partnerships/work groups for a more effective collaboration?
The more time you spend thinking through these questions, the more
productivity-boosting benefit you will gain from the evaluation process. And
don’t feel limited to an annual timeline; feel free to revisit these core
questions every 6 months, quarterly, or even monthly.
