According to the philosopher Socrates “the principle of reasoning is what you are”.
Structure is the way in which the different parts are arranged and linked together, creating an organized set. A logical series of things that depend on each other and work to guide us with our control over our needs. Otherwise, it is a framework we make to live our lives as we wish, we want, we love, and which serves our purposes.
The structure provides the means in which one can act preventively rather than reactive, and thus deal with chaos, paradox and change that he often does not want or is not prepared to face. The structure requires a clear definition of vision, goals, principles and values.
Almost everything in managing our everyday life, our time and our work, have or need to have a structure.
For Example:
- Diet: It is a program that depicts in detail, on a daily and weekly basis, the type and nutritional value of the food, the amount and the time taken. The structure serves – it aims at maintaining good health and controlling body weight.
Improve: Daily Report
Structure: (daily report) is a situation where any discrepancies (from the diet plan) are recorded daily. A weekly round will be evaluated. When and where there is a discrepancy (from the original diet plan), causes will be searched and corrective action planned in the new diet plan.
Objective: (a) raising awareness and discipline, (b) developing an ideally feasible nutrition program.
- Exercise: It is a daily program with exercise exercises. The structure serves – it aims at maintaining good health and well-being.
Improvement: Exercise Program Digitization
Structure: (digitization of exercise program) a recording of the daily activity of exercise exercises in a mobile application that will keep history, statistics, will remind and inform. In addition, he will receive information about diet and consumption and calories.
Objective: (a) fuller information – monitoring the implementation of the exercise program, (b) raising awareness and discipline.
- Computer Files: It is a logical series of thematic digital files and envelopes that depend on each other and operate to drive with relative control over the issue.
Improvement: BU reengineering and archiving
Structure: (BU Process Re-design and Archiving) A project plan for organizing envelopes, equipment (H / W & S / W) and Back Up processes.
Objective: (a) maximize file security and access; (b) save time, space (storage) and money (from repairs).
Structures help people concentrate, save energy, time, money and move to other goals safely. Where there is an absence of structure, we do not define our lives and go randomly (where the wind blows or bulk in the wave … that the people say). Through the structure we have the ability to see clearly and define how we live and how life comes out of our own energies. It is said that the structure starts with the will and it is like a trip we organize.
