Gaining Control and Breathing Room: The Calm Level of Life Design
The calm level of life design focuses on gaining control over one's life to create breathing room. This stage involves implementing organizational productivity systems to manage professional and personal obligations effectively. By gaining control, individuals can develop smart plans, understand their workload, obligations, and schedule, and determine their capacity without getting stressed. This level also involves minimalism to simplify commitments and create flexibility in one's schedule. Achieving control enables individuals to consider bigger picture changes and have room for reflection and pursuing important values. Building career capital is also highlighted as a benefit of controlling one's time and obligations, providing more options for transformation and success.
