Disciplines

Disciplines

A Discipline is a pathway of Life. Disciplines have a set of Pillars that when combined form a Dynamic.

Some disciplines may be considered as Ikigai.

Scoping

Disciplines should be distinguishable from each other. You should not have Mental Health and Well-Being since the two are tightly woven together. One possible exception might be if you specialize in Mental Health for school, then it may be better to separate the two.

Relations and Placement

Disciplines are immediately related to your Life, as Disciplines are the components of one’s lifestyle.

Projects are directly derived from Disciplines. Projects that are multidisciplinary should strongly fit into a single Discipline. If not, it’s possible Disciplines are not scoped correctly or that the Project is not well-defined.

Disciplines are placed just at the root of the vault.

Tasks will always be a part of Disciplines.

Pillars

A Discipline must have explicitly user-defined Pillars. There should be around 3-8 Pillars in total. These Pillars can be anything, so long as they follow the following restrictions.

  • All pillars when viewed together should soundly resemble the dynamic
  • The discipline should not strongly overlap with another existing discipline in their repository

Dynamics

The resulting effect of all pillars combined. See Dynamics.

All Disciplines should have a Dynamic, but the Pillars should come first.

Alignment

Disciplines should be routinely reviewed to ensure that the Pillars and Discipline are still relevant to your current life. It’s suggested to do this review on a monthly basis.
