Don't just exist but live - maximise life's most precious commodity- Find out How in Seneca's book - 'On the shortness of Life'

On The Shortness of Life

This was written almost 2000 years ago (around ad 49) by the great stoic philosopher Seneca the younger and it has great lessons for everyone on what is important and what is not. 

You should definitely read it. It is not long. I have put a put interesting points and links to summaries and the full text below. Enjoy!

Don't just exist but live - maximise  life's most precious commodity

'You have been preoccupied while life hastens on. Meanwhile death will arrive, and you have no choice in making yourself available for that'

You think you will live for ever and waste time

'You are living as if destined to live for ever; your own frailty never occurs to you; you don't notice how much time has already passed, but squander it as though you had a full and overflowing supply - though all the while that very day which you are devoting to somebody or something may be your last. You act like mortals in all that you fear, and like immortals in all that you desire. You will hear many people saying: 'When I am fifty I shall retire into leisure; when I am sixty I shall give up public duties.' And what guarantee do you have of a longer life? Who will allow your course to proceed as you arrange it? Aren't you ashamed to keep for yourself just the remnants of your life, and to devote to wisdom only that time which cannot be spent on any business? How late it is to begin really to live just when life must end! How stupid to forget our mortality, and put off sensible plans to our fiftieth and sixtieth years, aiming to begin life from a point at which few have arrived! '

Most people waste life with no direction. They are just tossed about by external events and end up going nowhere

,For suppose you should think that a man had had a long voyage who had been caught in a raging storm as he left harbour, and carried hither and thither and driven round and round in a circle by the rage of opposing winds? He did not have a long voyage, just a long tossing about,.

You have control of your life, don't blame your parents or your environment. You can change who you are and how you respond.

'We are in the habit of saying that it was not in our power to choose the parents who were allotted to us, that they were given to us by chance. But we can choose whose children we would like to be'

Guard your time

'Be careful of others who sabotage your time.How many days are left to you and not taken by others?

How many days has that defendant stolen from you? Or that candidate?....Or that influential friend who keeps people like you not for friendship but for display? Mark off, I tell you, and review the days of your life: you will see that very few - the useless remnants - have been left to you.'

Don't waste time on useless tasks

'dedication to useless tasks'

Have goals

'Many pursue no fixed goal, but are tossed about in everchanging designs by a fickleness which is shifting, inconstant and never satisfied with itself. Some have no aims at all for their life's course, but death takes them unawares as they yawn languidly'

Organise and plan your day. A good way to do this is a daily journal

'But the man who spends all his time on his own needs, who organizes every day as though it were his last, neither longs for nor fears the next day'

  

Live in  the moment

'But putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune's control, and abandoning what lies in yours'

Summary

Value your time and don't waste it. Most people know this but don't do this. Common sense is not common practice

Don't put things off. Live in the present.

Do not waste time on trivial worries.

Plan and organise your time.

5 Tips to Help Projects Soar

Whenever you are planning to complete a project or do a task, think of Stephen Covey's habit no 2 from his great book: ' The 7 habits of highly effective people'. This is 'Start with the end in mind' . Think of the ideal outcome. For yourself and for all the other parties. Then think of measures to see how well you have achieved your outcomes.. Here's an interesting article by Paula Eder (see below) that talks about this in point 5. Enjoy!

Ready for a Strong Take-Off? Here Are 5 Tips to Help Projects Soar

Large projects can be daunting. So what do you do when confronted with a great big task that you need to take the lead on?

It's your responsibility, the clock is ticking, and you don't know where to begin.

Well, here are 5 innovative tips for getting even a large project off to a successful and quick beginning. And as you explore these 5 ideas, I am guessing that you'll start coming up with some creative ideas of your own, too.

Explore and use your power to think ahead. Your results will likely far surpass what a traditional approach will provide.

1. Open your mind to possibilities for structuring your project that are not typical.

If you rely on the usual methods, like outlining and using a Zero Draft, consider a fresh approach. Start by clearly defining your desired outcome, and then structure your project around it. Beginning with the results you'd like will stimulate your creativity more than automatically following a standard protocol.

2. Refine the definition of your results or desired outcome until it's comprehensive and specific. Make it shine!

Don't undermine your project by having your planned results remain non-specific. Traditional methods often undervalue the importance of creating a crystal clear image of your desired outcome before you begin. Vague descriptions may result in confusion for those who need to understand your project or whose help you may need in order to be successful. Clearly delineating your goal will also help you strategize more effectively when structuring your action steps.

3. Examine closely the scope and complexity of your desired outcome. If you have bitten off more than you can chew, streamline your project to make it manageable.

Planning your project realistically greatly reduces the chances of your having to revisit, and scale back, your original desired outcome. By staying laser focused and limiting the scope of your desired outcome, you sidestep a common pitfall: defining your anticipated results too broadly. Writing a doctoral dissertation or developing a strategic plan without a clear description of a feasible-to-achieve desired outcome can easily become a project that is impossible to manage. Learn to marshal your resources by simplifying.

4. Get everyone who's important on board at the onset.

Once you define your specific, comprehensive goal and pare it down to a realistic size, present it to everyone directly involved in your project. For example, a thesis advisor may not start with a mental picture of the desired outcome that is the same as yours. Invest time and energy up front preparing an initial, strong presentation of your endpoint for all key participants. You will derive two important benefits from this:

First, you are far more likely to obtain their approval and commitment when they understand you.
Second, the more they comprehend your clearly articulated objectives, the more you'll have valuable space to explore and experiment along the way.



5. Learn to work backwards.

Instead of beginning at the beginning, start from your desired outcome and work backwards to identify each necessary action step. This way, you are more likely to maintain a realistic pace and scale throughout the project. In contrast, beginning at the beginning can mire you in too much detail or overwhelm you with the enormity of your task.

It's deeply rewarding to plan a project effectively when first starting out. You will proceed with more confidence and develop a stronger base of support.
