35 分钟So my question for you today how have you felt about work over this last year or so?
How has your work made you feel over the course of the year?
Whether it's your job or your primary devotion or role, or just the thing that you dedicate most of your energy to?
The way we contribute isn't just about what we give to others, to the world, to our jobs, to our work, to the entities around us.
It's also about how that experience makes us feel, whether it fills us up or empties us out.
This has been a really challenging year on the contribution front for so many.
The last three years just profoundly shook up the way that so many of us think about work, about values, expectations, and beliefs around it.
And many have been completely rethinking this area of life and realizing they want and need more from it.
A paycheck isn't enough.
The most basic needs being covered, it isn't enough.
There is a new set of expectations and values and non negotiables that we've been folding into how we contribute and what we get back from it.
And the world of work has been in deep flux for many reasons.
Which is why in today's final part four of our special month long year end reflection series, we're tapping into the wisdom of the good life buckets to better understand how this last year has impacted us in three critical areas, vitality, connection, and contribution.
And our focus today is on your contribution bucket.
Now, if you missed our opening episodes and this special bonus year end reflection series, you'll definitely want to cue those up to listen to as well, because I share the basic model of the good life buckets and why they're so powerful in helping us both understand how the key areas of our lives are doing, and also giving us the information needed to look ahead and make whatever changes or shifts are needed in order to come back to life in all areas of life.
We talked about the importance of our vitality bucket and our connection bucket, what they are and are not.
And I shared a powerful journaling exercise to tap as a year end reflection and planning tool, and you can find links to those first three year end reflection episodes in the show notes today, in our final year end reflection bonus episode, we're diving into the contribution bucket, asking what it can tell us about this last year.
Then we'll explore the five clarifying questions that I'll invite you to ask yourself and journal on.
I'll share my own personal assessment for my contribution bucket this year, how I'm feeling about the state of my own work life and what I'm planning to do about it in the year to come.
And I have a very special invitation and a special tool that we have spent years developing, creating that will really help you identify what are the core drivers of work or effort for you that will give you that feeling of coming alive so you can better understand why you felt the way you felt leading up to now, and then set yourself up in the year to come to really transform and fill that contribution bucket so that you feel that the way you're showing up at work and how it's making you feel is amazing on all fronts.
