The idea

Cilj ovog mog malog "projekta" je jednostavan: vratiti bogatstvo u život, otkrivanjem ili ponovnim obraćanjem pažnje na male stvari koje su svuda oko nas. Ono što je najbitnije, jeste da se on ne sastoji iz suvoparnih priča ili davanja saveta, već se odnosi na proživljavanje i direktno prolaženje kroz iskustva.

O čemu se radi?

Ovo nije način da rešite neki konkretan i dublji problem u životu. Ovo je samo zanimljiv i organizovan način da začinite svoj život. Ideja o "projektu" mi se javila u momentu kada sam želela da obogatim svoj život, što se negde i poklopilo sa idejom o uključivanju u svet bloggera. (Detaljnije videti ovde). U užurbanom odraslom svetu veoma je lako ući u kolotečinu i postati rob, kako stvari  i obaveza, tako i rob rutine. I lako je reći "obrati pažnju na male stvari", ali je još lakše reći "sutra ću" ili "mrzi me da i na tome nešto radim/doći će spontano".

Prvo zamorče sam ja.

Osnovna ideja je sledeća:

u narednih 6 meseci, svaki mesec ću sebi za cilj postaviti da realizujem nekih 6 zadataka na određenu temu. Otud naslov 6x6. Bitna stvar je da ne želim da se previše opterećujem projektom, i da mi ovo lako postane nešto što se "mora" i nešto što me puno podseća na "rad". Postavljaću sebi lagane zadatke, ali barem malo izazovne, tek toliko da me dovoljno motivišu da se aktiviram. Drugim rečima, vodiću računa o pravilu MUDRO pri postavljanju ciljeva (jasno i koncizno objašnjenje možete pročitati ovde):

Merljiv

Uvremenjen

Dostižan

Relevantan/Realan

Određen

I neću se unapred opterećivati postavljanjem ciljeva za narednih 6 meseci. Idem polako, iz meseca u mesec. Ipak je ovo pilot projekat, a ja zamorče.

A onda kada se završi šest meseci... Ideja je da se onda donosi odluka da li nastavljam sa novom turom 6x6, ili mi je život dovoljno začinjen za neko vreme. Da podsetim, nećemo se forsirati! Život je ionako nekad zahtevan, ne moramo ga mi dodatno komplikovati! Jedini zahtev koji sebi postavljam je, da kad jednom uđem u turnus 6x6, njega i završim. Pa, neka to bude i sa zaista jednostavnim zadacima tipa "posetiti (ili zvati) roditelje 6 puta u mesecu".

Početna ideja je da ljudi koji dobiju informaciju o mom malom poduhvatu prate ovaj blog i komentarišu, a vrlo rado ću slušati i ja pratiti poduhvate nekog drugog ko bi mi se pridružio na ovom putovanju.

The goal of this small project is simple: to enrich my own life, by discovering or paying attention again to the little things that are all around us. The most important thing is that this project is not consisted of boring stories or psychological advice, but it`s about reliving of experiences.
What is it about?
This is not the way to solve your concret or deep problem in life. This is just one interesting and organised way to spice up your life. The idea of the project came up to me in a moment when I wanted to enrich my life, which was at the same time when the idea of joining the world of bloggers was born. (For more details see here ). In a busy world of grown-ups it`s very easy to get into the rut, and to become a slave of things and obligations, as well as of routines. And it`s easy to say "pay attention to the small things", but it`s more easier to say "I will do that tomorrow" or "I wouldn`t like another thing to "work on", it`ll come spontaneously".

The first guinea pig is me.

The basic idea is as follows:
in the next six months, each month I`ll make a goal to realize 6 tasks on a specific topic. Hence the name Project 6x6. The important thing is that I don`t want to be overwhelmed by the project, so that it becomes something that I "must do" or something that reminds me of "hard work". I will create easy goals, but a little tempting, so that they motivate me to activate myself. In other words, I`ll pay attention to SMART rule of creating the goals (clear and precise explanation you can find here ):

Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Timely.

And I will not force myself to make goals for all the six months in advance. I`m going slowly, from month to month. Still it`s a pilot project, and I`m a guinea pig.
And when sixth month passes... The idea is to make decision then whether to continue with another turn of 6x6, or my life is spiced up enough. To remind you, I won`t force myself. Life is complicated enough! The only request I make to myself is to finish the 6x6 phase, once I`ve started it. Even if it`s with some simple tasks like "visit or call parents 6 times in a month" or something similar.
The basic idea is that people who get the information about my little endeavor follow this blog and comment, and I would gladly follow and listen to the endeavors of the others who would join me on the journey.

Looking forward to your comments, suggestions and sharing of experience!

Pa, krenimo (so, let`s go) ... Join me:

Update 12.03.2013.

Primetih da već nekoliko meseci sebi pre zadajem teme (npr. detinjstvo, ljubav, proleće) nego konkretne zadatke (Uradi to i to). Nekako mi sve više odgovara da pišem, iznosim svoja razmišljanja i istraživanja, a neku vrstu zadataka (onih kreativnih) svakako redovno ispunjavam na svom drugom blogu CreaCtive. Ovakva koncepcija mi trenutno najviše odgovara, i sve zajedno čini da osećam da mi je život baš začinjen izazovima, što je i bila početna motivacija ulaska u blog svet. Do eventualnih sledećih izmena ili poboljšanja, ostajte mi dobro i.. družimo se!

I`ve noticed that lately I was giving myself different topics as an assignment for the purpose of this blog (eg. childhood, love, spring), rather than concrete tasks (aka Do this and that). Somehow I was more into writing, expressing the opinion and exploring. All kind of tasks (the creative ones) I`m anyhow realizing for the purpose of my other blog CreaCtive. This conception suits me the best at the moment, and all together it makes me feel that my life is filled with challenges, which was the basic motivation of joining the blog world. Until the next possible changes and improvements of the whole idea stay well.. and keep in touch!
