How Will You Measure Your Life?

Clayton M. Christensen, James Allworth & Karen Dillon · 2012

Your everyday choices reveal your real priorities.

Big Idea

The authors apply ideas about strategy and motivation to ask whether daily decisions support the life and relationships a person says matter.

Choose a Measure

Career achievement alone cannot answer every question about a worthwhile life.

Follow the Resources

Where time and effort actually go can reveal priorities more clearly than a statement of intentions.

Short-Term Rewards

Visible work achievements can crowd out relationships whose value grows more slowly.

Learn and Adjust

A direction can be intentional while allowing experience to change the plan.

Keep Integrity Consistent

The book warns that small exceptions can make it easier to cross a boundary again.

A Lens, Not a Formula

Business ideas and Christensen’s personal convictions inform these reflections; they do not define one right life for everyone.

Khizooo Take

Compare this week’s allocation of attention with the people and commitments you say are important.

  • Book ideas for reflection, not individualized medical or mental-health treatment.

Remember

A priority needs time, not only a place on a list.
