So now, you may ask, what constitutes a holistic approach to career development? According to Merriam Webster, holistic can be defined as, “relating to or concerned with wholes or with complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts.”

With this definition in mind, the idea is to touch-based all the aspect of human life while considering and planning your life. This approach toward a career is more human and based on life development. It involves taking a big-picture look at your life, deciding what you want, and developing a plan to get you there, with your work as one element of the overall plan. This approach toward life which states that Job is an integral part of our life and the passionate job will yield more result in terms of fulfilment of life. It will give more meaning to your life.

Which Areas of Your Life Should You Consider in Your Holistic Approach?

Depending on your agreements or contracts with your employer(s), you may be left to define and allocate resources to areas of your life that you have not really thought of before. Gone are the days when your workspace, office hours, and lunch breaks are pre-determined and aggressively enforced. Just like when the fasten seatbelt sign on the aeroplane turns off, you are now free to move about the cabin.

But with what will you replace all your former rules and structures? It’s time to think ahead as a beyond linear employment or career.

How do you define success? What are your priorities? Are you going to recreate your former office at home and stick to your routine, or are you going to explore what makes you tick? What arrangements will make you productive and happy?

While taking control of where you work does not necessarily change the nature of your work (although it might), it changes pretty much everything else. In fact, you may be lost as to where to start. How do you even start at deciding what you want your whole life to look like? As you consider these questions, contemplate the different areas of your life that you now have more control over.
