Do you have the habit of reviewing/checking/critiquing/measuring?

If you do not review or measure your progress, you will never get anything done. Even if you manage to get things done, you may end up doing things that may not get you too far.

I have been doing some serious thinking these days to add some formal review/critiquing mechanism to my personal life too; Even though, I am more right brained than left brained, a metrics/review/critique driven life can definitely help me.

What are the areas in life that you should measure or review?
Let me draw up a list here, at random:
  1. Savings in the bank

  2. Weight

  3. Pursuit to specific goals

  4. Meditation-your spiritual life

  5. Time you spend with your spouse

  6. Time you spend with your daughter/son

  7. Vacation

  8. Your health-Blood pressure, HDL, LDL, Total cholesterol---

  9. Your diet

  10. Your community work

  11. The number of quality books you have read

  12. Your expenses

  13. Your debt

  14. Your earnings

  15. Your resume

  16. Your business numbers

  17. Your hobbies

  18. Time you fritter away

  19. Your bad habits

  20. Your good habits

  21. Wholesome movies you have watched

  22. Your friends

  23. Your extended family

  24. Your possessions

  25. Your property

  26. Your cars

  27. Your laptop

  28. Your cell phone

  29. Your PDA

  30. Your camera

  31. Your video camera

  32. Your jewellery

  33. Your skill sets

  34. Your knowledge

  35. Work life balance

The list above is not exhaustive. As I was typing the above list I suddenly realized that I have not used my video camera for more than a year. I do not know what is the state of its batteries.

A regular review can give you real insights about yourself and your life. Once you identify areas you need to take action, you can begin to act and live a more fulfilled life.
