- Voice of the Customer (VOC)
- Tension Relaxation Model (TRM)
- Planned Enjoyment Model (PEM)
- Getting Things Done (GTD)
- Plan Do Check Act Cycle (PDCA, Demming)

Work hard, sleep well.

By chance I found an excellent place for the night. Quite rooms and a really good breakfast.

Planned Enjoyment Analysis

My basic calculation model to measure the overall enjoyment index:

OE-Index =

# of activities in Q1 x 10
+ # of activities in Q2 x 1
- # of activities in Q3 x 1
- # of activities in Q4 x 10

Activity logging is easily done if you save the closed items from your ToDo list.

Use your historical data to evaluate a timechart for your personal OE- Index as a baseline for further improvements.

Planned Enjoyment Analysis.

Have a look at the more elaborated quadrant analysis from post #7. The two dimensions for planned enjoyment are:

1. Planned vs. Unplanned
2. Enjoyment vs. No enjoyment

The titled quadrants:

1. I love it.
2. I like it.
3. I do it.
4. I hate it.

The four strategies:

1. Opportunity management.
2. Fun matters.
3. Getting things done.
4. Risk management.
