We have our visions and values clarified, translated into short and intermediate goals. We have the support structures of our Personal Operating System. We’ve identified some habits to cultivate in the coming year to help us achieve pieces of our vision plans.

Our last step is to design an Operating Cadence that lets us peacefully make progress.

In some communities or spiritual orders, they agree on a particular way of life. How they arrange their time, their work, their possessions, their relationships, and so on.

We have a way of life too. Whether it’s helping or hurting us, whether it’s serving us or not. This “rule of life” can be created deliberately.

We can create rhythms and routines to give us more peace and more productivity. To move us toward our goals consistently. To help us live the kind of life we want.

The Operating Cadence is how we do that.
