How do we improve a website, business or ourselves?

I think the most frequently asked question when we are planning or trying to improve something, is where do we start?

And the key here is finding the right metrics to optimize…

I personally look at life this way, in order for us to be happy we need to spend time with these 5 categories

• Spiritual 
• Health
• Family
• Friends
• Work

In each category you must specify a role you need to act on.

So for example:

Spiritual – My role would be a christian, or how to be a good christian at least.

Health – 80% of health problems is because of what we put in our mouth and 20% because of  not moving our bodies. So i just focus 80% on eating right and 20% on staying active. If you want to be healthy eat right, if you want to be fit you exercise.

Family – Here I have many roles as a son, a husband, and now a father. 

Friends – I just try to be someone my friends can trust and share their problems and happiness.

Work – I’m a Junior Website Analyst, I specialised in Conversion Optimization. When I optimize a website for conversion I only focus on metrics that helps provide me answers to questions I need.

Now the secret here is time, how you distribute your time to all of these roles under each category that I just mentioned is key to make this work and I believe that if you spend time to all these categories you will have a great life.
