I somehow recently accidentally stumbled across the Pillars, Pipelines, and Vaults (PPV) system by August Bradley. In a nutshell, this system is a way to align your daily efforts to the pursuit of goals that contribute to core areas of your life (the pillars). As a husband and the father of a toddler and an infant, the free time that I previously had in excess has been scarce. My routines and schedules were extremely disrupted as I transitioned from my life as a PhD student to working a 9-5 and raising a family (my first child was born exactly one week after my dissertation defense). These routines never truly recovered. As a result, when I do come across some free time I find that I often don’t know what to do with it. I also am guilty of jumping from project to project without focus, leaving things half finished or skills incompletely developed.
