How do you review and update your self-management frameworks or models as your goals or situations change?

??Regularly evaluate if your current framework aligns with your goals and values. ??Assess flexibility: Can it adapt to changing circumstances? ??Check usability: Is it simple and effective? ??Set periodic reviews to adjust your framework based on feedback. ??Document changes and their impacts for continuous improvement. ??Align updates with long-term objectives to ensure relevance. ??Seek input from mentors or peers for diverse perspectives. ??Test new approaches incrementally to find optimal adjustments.

My self-management model comes from my long-term goals, or rather, my dreams. I call them dreams because they are so high that my current situation doesn't show how I will achieve them. Despite that, I have these goals to keep myself moving forward. These goals guide my yearly, monthly, and daily activities. This includes acting on ideas, continuous learning, hitting growth milestones, and balancing my personal and professional lives. My model has broader components: Goals, Continuous Learning (Marketable Skills), Communication, Health, Financial Management, and Personality Development. When I get stuck, I ask myself these questions: Why? Why Not? Why Not Me? Why Not Now? These questions help change how I see my actions.

Let's look separately at internal and external updates. I think of internal management models as focusing on self-understanding and self-regulation. When your situation changes, new "triggers" may upset you, stress you out, or close you off. This requires revisiting your chosen framework's (for example Robert Kegan's Immunity to Change or Byron Katie's The Work) self-discovery steps to work with strong feelings and learn from them. External management is more about priorities, tasks, and calendars. Changes in goals or situations require reassessing these elements of your current plan. Really, I think that these should be revisited weekly anyway, to identify and focus explicitly on each week's contribution to the larger picture.

Establish a routine for regularly reviewing your self-management framework, to assess the framework’s effectiveness in helping you meet your goals. During each review, reflect on recent challenges and successes. Consider how your self-management framework contributed to these outcomes and what adjustments might better support future success. Small, continuous adjustments can be more manageable and less disruptive than major changes, allowing for gradual refinement of the framework.

Regularly review your goals and circumstances to identify changes. Reflect on your current self-management framework's effectiveness. Seek feedback and research new techniques. Adapt your approach accordingly, making adjustments to strategies and incorporating new tools or methods as needed. Consistently integrating review and updates ensures your self-management practices remain relevant and effective over time.
