Life Factorization

Life Factorization is breaking down and maximizing all the factors that influence your chances of success in all things.

Life factorization is derived from mathematical factorization which is breaking down complex numbers into simpler ones:

"In mathematics, factorization or factoring is the decomposition of an object (for example, a number, a polynomial, or a matrix) into a product of other objects, or factors, which when multiplied together give the original. For example, the number 15 factors into primes as 3 × 5... In all cases, a product of simpler objects is obtained. The aim of factoring is usually to reduce something to "basic building blocks," such as numbers to prime numbers..."

"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are they who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them."

—George Bernard Shaw

If you think about any mission you want to accomplish in terms of what it takes to get there, you can identify helpful positive factors to maximize and hindering negative factors to minimize. Some of these factors are things you can do something about. Taking smaller and more manageable steps towards your goal is easier than trying to succeed all at once.

Once you've maximized as many factors as you can, success becomes much easier indeed.

Empowerment Factorization

Empowerment's Skillpedia is written to break many skills and missions down into factors. Articles generally refer to a number of key factors and methods of doing things right and maximizing chances of success.

Life Factorization Examples

Enlisting Peer Pressure To Complete A Project

"When I was writing Empowerment full-time for the first time in my life, I needed help motivating myself to finish. I was writing new things faster than I was finishing old ones and I asked myself, "What could I do to start finishing things?"

I put myself on the spot by telling a circle of my closest friends and respected peers that I would present a first draft in a month's time. Be careful what you wish for! I have never worked harder before or since, knowing as I did that I had given my word to produce results.

Most people fear and loath deadlines, but even fear can be your friend if you ask it nicely."
