Work/Life Change Stop-Start-More-Less Grid Ask yourself
the following questions and post your answers in the grid below. o STOP - What work/life activities
am I doing that aren’t productive and should be stopped? o START - What work/life activities
should I start doing that I’m not doing now? o MORE – Are there valuable work/life
activities that I should do more of? o LESS – What work/life
activities have partial value and I should do less of? Now, look at
the grid and analyze what work/life activities you could STOP or do LESS of. With
the time you’ve saved, analyze the START/MORE quadrants for work to
begin or do more of.
