How To Fine-Tune The Superpower of Observation

Welcome to my book about how to fine-tune the superpower of observation throughout the chapters of your WorkLife Story. Here is a preview of what's inside, along with the main ideas and the meaning behind these.

WorkLife is our life at work, where we spend one third of our lives. It is also the impact our work has on our life outside of work, and the impact our life outside of work has on our work. All areas of our life in and out of work are so intrinsically linked, they cannot be separated, nor do I believe should they. I believe WorkLife needs to be considered holistically.

Finely-tuned powers of observation is a powerful technique to keep your WorkLife real. It will enable you to be acutely aware of everything that is going on around you, and it will allow you to know how to harness that for your good.

In this book I tell two stories:

1. Three WorkLife Stages of Observation: The Present, Past and Future: Carmel's stories of how she achieved her WorkLife intentions at her different WorkLife stages, by taking a step-by-step approach of learning by doing and by being observant of what was going on around her as she went about her daily WorkLife to help her to know what to do next.

2. The Ghosts of Christmas Present, Future and Past, and an Alternative Timeline: Aisling's story of how the practice of journaling had enabled her to fine-tune her power of observation while visiting Present, Future and Past and an Alternative Timeline.

I share the exercises that helped to work through these challenging situations to resolve the dilemmas. I present these exercises as the following assignments for you to work through:
