A flowchart for my life
In the 80's you heard a lot about life coaches, many references were made in jokes about the yuppie sub-culture. As I sat in a meeting this morning I started thinking there really was be a need for such a role in my life.
The idea of having a virtual parent directing my life is appealing on one level, but appalling on another.
I'd love to have someone tell me what to wear and eat, someone to tell me when I am on track or off track.
I am not an organized person in overall life, I try and I control it for the most part, but it could be better, my life could be better, but how?
I started thinking about how I organize my work projects and what I start with. - flow charts - wireframes - outlines - schedules
When I have this in place flush out in this manner. - Outlines become detailed technical requirements - Schedules are beefed up, enhanced and adjusted - Flow charts become use cases - Wireframes become mock ups
So why couldn't I do this for life? I don't see why not, my first thought is to have The OmniGroup build an application to manage everything; OmniLife.
Perhaps they have with OmniFocus, but it never quite did everything I need. If I have to launch an application to have it remind me, I'll forget to do it.
So this is my new project, organize my life as if it were a critical work project. Starting today I am going to start this process, I will use the same elements I mentioned earlier. As this progresses, I'll update here.
