![]() The SWLS is not designed to help you understand satisfaction in any one specific domain of life, such as your job or relationships instead, it has been developed to help you get a sense of your satisfaction with your life as a whole.Īlthough the questionnaire doesn’t measure individual components, it can be an excellent starting point, encouraging deeper thought and exploration of the specific areas of life that may be causing you a sense of dissatisfaction. (1985) sought to address this and through developing the SWLS, they created a strong tool in the measurement of the cognitive components they felt reflected a subjective sense of wellbeing and life satisfaction. The cognitive component has been more closely conceptualized with life satisfaction (Andrews & Withey, 1976), yet despite this, had not previously received much attention for research. When it comes to a sense of subjective wellbeing, researchers have asserted that it consists of two main components: the emotional component and the cognitive component (Diener, 1984 Veenhoven, 1984). What Does the Questionnaire Measure Exactly? You can download a full copy of the SWLS, including how to tally and score. Once you’ve assigned a score from 1 to 7 to each of the statements, you tally up your final score for an indication of how satisfied you are overall with life.Īs you can see, the SWLS won’t take up a lot of your time to complete! But it can be a really useful instrument in supporting you to reflect on your life, overall satisfaction, and in beginning to think about areas you might need to spend a bit more time exploring. If I could live my life over, I would change almost nothing.So far, I have gotten the important things I want in life.The conditions of my life are excellent.In most ways, my life is close to my ideal.Participants completing the questionnaire are asked to judge how they feel about each of the statements using a seven-point scoring system, with 1 being “strongly disagree” and 7 being “strongly agree.”īelow, I’ve outlined what these statements are: The SWLS is a very simple, short questionnaire made up of only five statements. The scale was developed as a way to assess an individual’s cognitive judgment of their satisfaction with their life as a whole. The Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) was first created by researchers Diener, Emmons, Larsen, and Griffin (1985) and published in an article in the Journal of Personality Assessment.

Boundless game mastery7/22/2023 ![]() When I started realizing I was making the mistakes, it was easy to fix them in the flow of deeper work because no one had labeled it as bad in the first place. They get figured out through iteration and self-awareness. It turns out that if you are aiming high, you really don’t have time for small mistakes like spelling errors and formatting. But here I was at McKinsey, where the expectations were much, much higher than any place I had been before. Up to that point in my life every authority figure and institution was organized around the idea that the goal of life is to do perfect work and to avoid mistakes. The path to real improvement is only through trusting our self 2, the doer, and allowing ourselves to become more aware.Īt McKinsey I remember being surprised when a manager ignored several minor mistakes I made on a document in my first year. We are convinced that better knowledge will fix our challenges but by searching for fixes we imply problems and Gallwey suggests that we simply discard the idea that there are problems to be fixed at all. And as a pretty shitty bowler, I can’t say I had any sort of knowledge of how it was happening. I was “in the zone” as they say in sports. When I bowled those six strikes in a row, I remember feeling absolutely locked in. We then tighten, make changes, and never give ourselves the opportunity to be present enough to notice that our natural instincts and intuition (self 2) might provide a better way forward. When we label a stroke as “bad” we are stuck in that frame of mind. The first step is simply to “see your strokes as they are.” In Gallwey’s telling there are no good or bad strokes. From this pattern, one basic message came across loud, clear, and often: you are a good person and worthy of respect only if you do things successfully.Īt least in tennis, he offers a way out. Even before we received praise or blamed for our first report card, we were loved or ignored for how well we performed out very first actions. …we live in an achievement-oriented society where people tend to be measured by their competence in various endeavors. Which is really hard because most of us are brought up in cultures that tell us that life is pretty much all about avoiding bad outcomes, aiming at “good” goals, and trying harder when we fail. We have to find ways to loosen the grip that self 1 has over our actions. The problem is that you can’t just “do” doing. Throughout the book the message is quite clear: we spend far too much time in self 1 mode and struggle to let go enough to shift into self 2 mode. It is the relationship between these two selves that determines how well people are able to translate “knowledge into effective action.” This is what he calls the “inner game.” He argues that everyone has two selves: self 1, the “teller,” and self 2 the “doer. Timothy Gallwey shares his approach for thinking about improvement through the lens of tennis. I haven’t bowled much at all since then and have not pursued professional bowling but was reminded of it while reading the Inner Game of Tennis this week. I ended up with a 200, the best score of my life. I deployed this trick at the bowling alley and asked myself “can you bowl a strike?” It worked six straight times and then failed the seventh. All you had to do is ask yourself an open-ended question like “can you do X?” before you did X. It was from the Dan Pink book “To Sell Is Human” and somewhere in the book it had this positive psychology hack that would help you improve how you performed on a specific task. I once bowled six strikes in a row and it’s probably the coolest thing I’ve ever “implemented” from a book.

Fly around in terragen 37/22/2023 ![]() In reality the flat ground ahead proceeded for only about 6 miles before it intercepted the low ice cliff which marked the commencement of the icy slope leading upwards to the mountain, and at that point the uniform white surface of the mountain slope proceeded upwards, first at an angle of 13°, and then with a gradually increasing upward angle as it merged with the ceiling of the cloud overhead. What the crew could see, therefore, was what appeared to be the distant stretch of flat white ground representing the flat long corridor of McMurdo Sound. ![]() In the far distance the flat white terrain would either have appeared to have reached the horizon many miles away or, more probably, merged imperceptibly with the overhead cloud thus producing no horizon at all. Similarly, the roof of the solid overcast extended forward for miles. What this air crew saw ahead of them as the aircraft levelled out at 3000 feet and then later at 1500 feet was a long vista of flat snow-covered terrain, extending ahead for miles. The line of vision from the flight deck towards the horizon (if there is one) will actually portray a white even expanse which is uniformly level. So long as the view ahead from the flight deck of an aircraft flying over snow under a solid overcast does not exhibit any rock, or tree, or other landmark which can offer a guide as to sloping or uneven ground, then the snow-covered terrain ahead of the aircraft will invariably appear to be flat. Very extensive evidence was received by the Commission as to the occurrence and the consequences of this weather phenomenon. The co-existence of these factors produced without doubt the classic 'whiteout' phenomenon which occurs from time to time in polar regions, or in any terrain totally covered by snow. The position of the sun at the time of impact was directly behind the aircraft, being in a position approximately to the true north of the mountain and shining at an inclination of 34°. The DC10 was at the time flying under a total cloud cover which extended forward until it met the mountain-side at an altitude of somewhere between 20 feet. I have already made it clear that the aircraft struck the lower slopes of Mt. Richardson, Duncan Wallace McMullin, and Sir Edward Somers The latest version directly reflects this description Judgments of the Court of Appeal of New Zealand on Proceedings to Review Aspects of the Report of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Mount Erebus Aircraft Disaster, by Sir Owen Woodhouse, R.

It’s your own private database, so you can do whatever you want with it! With a reading tracking spreadsheet, you can also choose what data you want to include and remove any extraneous items you don’t want to track. Spreadsheets are also an excellent method to use because you have complete control over your data (unlike using an app, where your data may disappear if something happens to the app or if it shuts down…like Shelfari did in 2016). I love this method because I can easily access my reading log from any device and from anywhere, and since it is stored in the cloud I know I won’t accidentally lose it!

I can’t tell you how many times I used to forget the title of a book I loved and then had to try to find books again from a vague description.
