Self-Checklist

Am I going in the right direction? And if so, how close am I to the goal? What else can I do to become the person I want to be? And what should I absolutely not do? The author of this book was approached by an employee of his company asking for help. At work, there are KPIs for assessing personal effectiveness, but assessing your involvement in achieving your own goals is far from simple. The question turned out to be interesting. First, they identified ten more or less objective indicators. Then Evgeny Almaz chose “a self-checklist with 100 criteria” as the topic for his talk at the staff meeting. It became clear that such a checklist is needed both for him and for everyone who wants to live their life in a way that won’t hurt painfully. After some thinking, Evgeny decided to write a book and present the structured criteria for evaluating himself across ten areas—from order in various spheres, financial questions, and nutrition principles to personal qualities and the meanings we see in life. And not just to present them, but to set an example—he rates himself using the checklist and invites the reader to compete. And the winner is not the one with more pluses, but the one with more minuses—because it’s nothing other than points for growth.
