Note: This article is based on the work of the author Samy Felice, in which he tells us about his personal experience in organizing life on a weekly basis.
Then, I made my decision to live my life on the basis that I would die in six months, and this method succeeded in improving my life despite its strangeness and pushed me to take more risks and move on to new experiences, and I became happier than before.
I felt, however, that there was something wrong with my new way of life, that I was driven by the fear of missing opportunities, not by my desire to establish a purposeful life full of passion. I thought that there must be a better way to live a happy and successful life at the same time, and I came up with the idea of weekly organizing my life. So, I achieve the maximum benefit and joy possible from each week separately and do not have time to prolong thinking and dreaming.
I used to organize my time, so I would devote a whole day to playing music according to my desire and meet 2-4 friends weekly to strengthen my relationships. If I wanted to read more books, I would read a whole book every week, and if I planned to professionalize a specific sport, I would make sure to exercise every week.
Reduce fear of the future
The burden of work eased after I divided my goals into weekly stages, became more enthusiastic, made more plans, and went through new experiences. My life became full of joy and enthusiasm, and I began to focus on the present. Also, I do not waste my time thinking about past experiences or future dreams.
My new way of life required that I do my best to get the most out of each week and then rely on the Lord.
I like to point out here that I have gone through some difficult times despite following this mentality, as I felt in some weeks that my life was miserable and unsuccessful, and this was often caused by external circumstances, such as suffering from a harmful emotional separation, disagreement, financial crisis, and other life problems. Still, I noticed a remarkable improvement in all aspects of my life by applying this mentality in usual conditions that are free from serious problems.
Results of my experiment
You can have the experience yourself at once and live each week according to the ideal standards of life for you. Time or week is just an empty concept, and you are responsible for investing it in meaningful work and living an active life full of joy. When you try to maximize the benefit of each week, you are likely to live a successful life.
You must employ your creative abilities to organize the weeks one after the other and achieve progress in your life over time. When you attain more goals during your week, you will continue to change, progress, learn, and adapt to living conditions. This way, you can work to improve your flaws, learn from mistakes, and move forward in life.
Things may get worse, and your plans fail in some weeks. However, thanks to the weekly work system, as you can overcome crises and strengthen your emotional toughness.
The control of the environment and society over our orientations
The early circumstances of a person's life determine their aptitudes and aspirations, and the stereotypical question is, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" You must achieve a certain standard for society to consider you successful and feel your self-worth. These ideas are rooted in our minds from a young age, and our lives are formed on them. We have allowed the outside world to determine the criteria for success for us.
Success is often not defined, and misconceptions are prevalent in emerging minds, so it is worth focusing on organizing their work plans weekly to live a successful life at all levels instead of linking success once you achieve outstanding achievements. This way, you can enjoy a happy life during this week if you want, without having to merge feelings of satisfaction and entitlement to achieve specific goals that need a long time to accomplish.
Thinking about the dreams of the future from time to time contributes to enhancing feelings of motivation. Still, when we organize our lives weekly, we can renew our inspiration at the beginning of each week; as a result, our enthusiasm is not exhausted. You have to achieve the maximum possible benefit from each week that the Lord blesses you because the days that pass never return, so beware of wasting it in vain.
