Solving Personal Problems
I would like to write about the absence of inner peace that has been affecting my life for the past 12 months. I have been unable to concentrate for a significant amount of time. I found myself irritated and was constantly in a rush when it was not necessary. As I look back now and employ the Five-Step Model to solve it, I would like to paint you a picture. First of all I had to identify the problem. After a couple of days of inner work and reflection I found that I lacked harmony in the way I felt about the things I was doing. Secondly I started searching for the cause of these feelings and found that I thought if things
were accomplished faster, the results would somehow be better. However, in practice it was absolutely the opposite. Then I thought about some options that would allow me to still complete things quickly but the outcome would be no matter how fast I accomplished whatever it was that I was doing. A rushed job was not my best option so then I continued to think of new solutions to solve this problem as well as evaluate the old ones. So I decided to go with a new time management system that would help me to keep things in line and on time and therefore keep me balanced and in harmony with my day to day life. I would characterize myself as a problem solver simply because problem solving comes natural for me which also makes it easier for me to complete each step of the Five-Step Model with ease.
