PhD coaching should also inform us. The TRIAD of Time, Energy, and Money is not a new thing. It has been reported in both business and psychological circles. There are many sources of good information out there. I am going to give you a few suggestions to start with.
One is certainly this book Focus by Pedram Shojai, a former Taoist monk with a huge interest in wellness. Yet another, less know but peculiar article I read with interest is this one The triad of value: time, money and energy by H. A. Riko.
We tend NOT to give emphasis to time we spend badly after the wrong people, the wrong toys, and even the wrong ideas. Moreover, those who value time has a MASSIVELY increased chance of seeing the fruits of her/his work and sacrifices.
The point is NOT how much time we have got. The real point is HOW we SPEND our time. The choice is almost entirely ours. We should decide what we spend our valuable time on. At the very least we should be able to spend our FREE time in a very productive and regenerative way. Unfortunately, in most cases, we FAIL in even spending wisely our free time.
No wonder that we almost constantly feel on the edge. And that like ants, we are greedy and accumulate much more than we actually need. For then realising our home is too small to house all of the stuff we got. And moving does not lead to a better life. Instead, it is just a temporary fix ready to fail again.
Is there a silver bullet? I cannot say. Any PhD coaching expert would have a perfect answer to this problem. But I can ensure you that from when I put an order in the TRIAD of Time, Energy, and Money, I have started realising how much time I have freed. How many more activities I can do, especially ludic activities. And how much healthier my relationships have turned; both old and new relationships.
Before launching ourselves into today’s video, you might want to consider if coaching can help you putting order into your life. Here is a previously released video you can have a look at Is COACHING what you really need to solve your issue?. Check regularly our site for more useful material about PhD coaching.
And now it is time for full immersion in today’s giveaway video. The TRIAD of Time, Energy, and Money will be explored here in the context of a PhD project.
