Simon Scullion http://www.simonscullion.com The public musings of a collaboration lifeguard Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:33:27 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Balancing the use of our time http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SimonScullion/~3/MpbrwQ4waHU/ http://www.simonscullion.com/2012/02/08/balancing-the-use-of-our-time/#comments Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:30:52 +0000 Simon Scullion http://www.simonscullion.com/?p=992 Balancing the use of our timeEarlier today I began reading Julien Smith‘s epic post on getting what we want, and whilst I haven’t yet read it all, the following stood out to me:

the way your time should be spent is largely like a pyramid, with a wide base of learning, with a smaller level of acting on top of it, which is directed by the learning, and then on top of that, an even smaller level of writing about it. If you begin to live your life differently than the pyramid should be built, it becomes unbalanced and topples over.

This made a lot of sense to me, and after sharing the thoughts with a colleague, was prompted to put it into a visual.

I’ve interpreted the words “acting” and “writing” as “doing” and “sharing” in an attempt at clarity in case it is taken out of context with Julien’s original explanation

Thanks Julien!

This unstable economy and society has shown us that comfort and stability are dead. We need to make our lives worth living. We need to be who we always dreamt of being.
