Part Two of your Holistic Goal: Forms of
Production:
“What must we produce in
order to create the quality of life we want?”
This
question refers to all of the aspects described above: the human relationships,
the working environment, financial well-being and achieving the ideal life you
have expressed. If certain qualities
already exist, consider how we are already producing them and be sure to
include that in this section. If other
qualities are desired but are currently not being fulfilled, ask yourself: “What has to happen in order for you to
experience this quality? What are we
doing or not doing now, or what don’t we have now, that is preventing us from
achieving this aspect of the quality of life we want?” Note that often one form of production will
produce numerous qualities. It may be
helpful to begin your sentences with the words: “We will produce....”
Think
about “what do you have to produce materially as well as interpersonally in
order to move toward the desired QOL?”
For example, if you said time with your family or friends was important
to you, then you must produce something (time, ritual, commitment) to spend
time with them. Other Forms of
Production may include things like; a debt-free life, open communication with
my neighbors, a steady income, trust in my co-workers, a healthy lifestyle, a
sense of inner peace, etc. Try to
keep it essential.
For
EACH of the QOL statements in the table above, answer the question “what do I
have to produce to get this?” You can
use another table, if it helps.

Make
sure you have a Form of Production for each fundamental component of your QOL. Rewrite, edit, and change the QOL components as needed.
