You and I occupy three basic areas of life. Let’s call them Life Zones.

From these areas you live, work, and enjoy the rewards of living a productive life.

Your Life Zones are:

1. Your Comfort Zone

2. Your Discovery Zone

3. Your Achievement Zone

Each zone is necessary and important for a well-lived and balanced life.

  1. Let’s begin with your Comfort Zone.

Despite the bad reputation from many productivity gurus, it’s not only necessary, but vital to your health and well-being.

It includes your home, loved ones, and all manner of comforts.

It’s where you rest and recharge your body, mind, and spirit.

2. Then comes your Discovery Zone.

This is where you learn things, meet new people, and discover the hidden nooks and crannies of possibility.

When you pursue a field of study, investigate new options, or seek a solution to a problem, you are in your discovery zone.

3. Finally, we come to a most important area of life, your Achievement Zone.

From here you seek to achieve what’s important to you.

It’s where you are fully engaged in a process of creation, production, and generating results.

To move from your comfort zone to your discovery zone takes time and effort.

But, to move from your comfort or discovery zone into your achievement zone requires that you cross a river of self-doubt, discomfort, and potential disapproval from those who seek to maintain the status quo.

Each life zone contains specific things that are necessary for a well-lived life (and, in some cases, your very survival).

We’ll delve into the nooks and crannies of each Life Zone in the chapters to follow.

Stay tuned.
