Seven Questions That Will Change Your Life

lifehack.org: "Self-reflection is the name of the game. When you look back at your week, are you happy with what you’ve done? Was it productive or wasteful?
Alex Shalman asks himself seven questions each week to keep him on track. Whether or not you think all seven are necessary, looking back at your actions objectively will work in your favor. Try them out now"

This is a genious idea. I have found myself loosing track of what i strive for and just being overwhelmed with everything. This list of questions is a huge help. I wish I had found out about this earlier in the year.

I really enjoyed this article, especially the part about looking into what I need to improve upon and what wastes my name. I am currently working on my time management skills so it will definately be productive and helpful to know the answers to these questions.

Meh, I'm sure the concept is great for some if not most people... But I personally don't really find much help in this. I don't even understand how it's supposed to help me... Granted, I feel as if I'm pretty on track with what I want - thought what I want has no specificity (is that a word?) to it.

I would have to agree with Andrea on this one. It didn't really help because I suppose that I don't function on that type of operation. I also could never actually I suppose keep on track with the questions.

Personally I don't see how these questions will CHANGE my life. They definitely seem useful. And good things to ask yourself in order to IMPROVE the way you go about your daily life. I'm not sure it will be life changing, but it can definitely help. Looking at the pros and cons of each week and what I've been doing can help me improve my actions and activities during the next week. Learning from what I do right, and learning from my mistakes. Analyzing my week in this way is definitely a positive idea.

I think its a really good idea...I a pretty self-reflective kinda person all ready, but this is a good way to make that reflective time usefully. The last question is a little odd, i dont think I do anything I'm ashamed of every week, but maybe other people do.
