Inspired by James Clear, each month I will write (and post here) an integrity report. This starts from the first week in July. For me, this gives me a reason to revisit my core values and consider if I have been living a sincere life.
The integrity reports will help answer the question, “Am I actually living like the type of person I claim to be?”
There are 3 main questions that I will answer in this Integrity Report.
- What are the core values that drive my life and work?
- How am I living and working with integrity right now?
- How can I set a higher standard in the future?
What are the core values that drive my life and work?
Growth
- Am I learning new things, exploring new places, and experimenting with new ideas?
- Am I questioning my limiting beliefs and trying to overcome them?
- Am I building habits that lead to continual improvement?
Self respect
- Am I settling for a less than average life?
- Am I fine when I really am not?
- Am I living like the type of person I claim to be?
- Do I give myself enough alone time?
Contribution
- Am I contributing to the world or just consuming it?
- Am I someone others can count on?
- Am I helping to make things better for others?
- If this was the best year of my life what would I do?
Grit
- Am I mentally and physically strong?
- Am I preparing for unexpected challenges?
- Am I taking steps to overcome the challenges in my life?
- Do I have big enough goals?
How am I living and working with Integrity right now
- Do I apologize for mistakes and righting old wrongs
- Do I say what I mean and do what I say
- Do I return missed calls and reply all emails(personal)
- Do I have big enough goals?
How can I set a higher standard in the future
- Do I make out time for people that matter(family and close friends)?
- Am I saving for emergencies and future investments
- Do I return missed calls and reply all emails(personal)
- Do I have big enough goals?
Tomorrow, I will create an Integrity Reports Worksheet that you can use to draft out yours. This looks like a good enough challenge to also help me be the person I was made to. With the help of 5 people who I interact with on a regular basis they will attest to my report.
I found your blog by searching for ideas on how to write a personal integrity report.. This post came up near the top of the search.
I read in the post that tomorrow you were going to create an Integrity Report Worksheet that I could use to draft out my own report.
I searched your site by scrolling through the posts (a “search this site option” could maybe be a help?)… Anyhow, I finally found your post Define Who You Are.
Maybe I’m missing something really obvious but I couldn’t find any worksheet – unless the post itself is to be used as one?
Your help in my quandary would be most gratefully received. Thank you in advance
