Top Life Frustrations | Primary Research Results


Top Life Frustrations | Primary Research Results

by Gavriel Shaw

Here is a list of the top frustrations of 16 different people from primary research I performed around 2005.

These are genuine word for word unedited submissions from a mini-course I ran.

See if any of these people’s lists closely reflect your own current frustrations and limitations.

It’s also very valuable to note any lists that you can not relate to at all. Comparing this way can lead to very significant and interesting self-realizations.

3. Lack of money – I always spend my wage as soon as I get it on anything that makes me feel good and I have no savings

And what about your own life direction and current list of frustrations? Take advantage of the Preparation section of the site to re-vitalise your own life direction.

Most of those top life frustrations can be significantly helped by the person becoming better organized in their life.  Membership to my 7 Steps of Organizing program comes with:

  • The detailed 7 Steps of Organizing Guide – that make getting organized so easy – even George Bush could use it
  • A template that you can use on computer or printed out that will be your plug-in guide for anything important you want to organize
  • And several more goodies besides…

It’s available at www.organizedr.com

When you begin to apply the 7 Steps using the template, email it to me and I’ll offer some tips from my experience working with dozens (if not hundreds) of others – whether it be for home life, personal life, career life, or anything at all.
