Which Quadrant Are You In?

[Antiventurecapital]

Picture a quadrant with these four categories of people in it:

HFLA
LFLA
LFHA
HFHA


HFLA
High Focus-Low Action
These are people who focus on goals but talk instead of take action. They visualize, vibrate, meditate, build vision boards, and talk of manifesting, but always evade the action part. Having Parkinson's Disease is a long slow good-bye to muscle control. Being an HFLA type is like being in a long slow good-bye to one's life. With each passing year of no action, goals and one's ability to achieve them diminishes.

LFLA
Low Focus-Low Action
Life's perpetual victims. Nothing ever goes their way. The world owes them big time. They spend all their left-over money on lottery tickets.

These people find LFHA types to feed off.

LFHA
Low Focus-High Action
These are the work horses of humanity. After work they engage in all sorts of volunteer activities with various organizations as well as helping family, friends, coworkers.

Despite all the activity, they often feel as if they are not accomplishing as much as they should be.

HFHA
High Focus-High Action
This is where you want to be. Highly focused. Action-oriented. Highly effective at achieving goals.

Come on, be honest and take the poll. No one will know what you clicked on.

Until now I've been HFLA. I hope to start changing that to HFHA. It seems like I've always had wonderful ideas and really wanted to do something, but then they fade away within a few days. Now I've started writing them down, started a blog with them, and am really working towards HFHA.

I heard an interesting story the other day. Some guy walks up to a motivational guru during the break and says, "My problem is completing on projects. I never finish anything I start. What would be a good affirmation to use daily?"

The guru tells him to screw the affirmations and just start completing things.

Very good poll. I voted for the 1st quadrant. Planning, contemplating, analyzing but just not doing enough compared to people who just do but don't think about it.

But I am on my way out of the dilemma. I used 21day trials to get myself into action mode. For example work for 1 hour every day on this or that (programming) book. I introduced goal setting some weeks ago. Yearly goals, from these derived quarterly goals, from these derived monthly goals, from these derived weekly goals and a Primary Task for the day.

And shall I tell you something. Right now I suck big time. But at least I can track it and now I am working on changing that. The PrimaryTask for the day approach is working well for me. It got me out of the mañana -mode...

I find your poll very binary.

Noone's medium focus or medium action?

or medium-high for that matter...

I'm not keen labeling people and even less keen on labeling myself, but thought I'd enter into the spirit and click on something. After pondering the categories, I realised I couldn't - I see myself as a high focus, medium achiever (but a high focus, high achiever in progress )

The value lies in identifying your dominant quadrant.

Action is scary!

Oh well, no worries.

After reading each of the options, I was quite surprised to find I was closer to the HFHA then any of the other quadrants, although I feel I'm closer to MFHA (Medium Focus, High Action).

Interesting enough, I can think of at least one person I know of in each of the 4 quadrants. Anyone else experience this?

mmm... I think I'm what's defined as HFHA. But I'm not good as achieving goals... so I could be an HFLA... but it's not because of lack of action. lol...
I guess I don't fit anywhere.

[Acting Like Godot]

I think it also depends on the type of goal.

For example, I would consider myself LFHA on family matters; HFHA on money matters and career matters; HFLA on spiritual matters, etc etc.

I used to be hfla w/glimpes of hfha
but now am more lfla
it is very disturbing, when I was hfla I couldn't stand that I wasn't hfha, but now I would take the hfla in a heartbeat.
Still aim for the stars though
