MakeTimeFlow as a productivity framework is founded in the science of human flourishing.
happiness and life satisfaction, mental and physical health, meaning and purpose, character and virtue, and close social relationships
. This framework, proposed by researchers, suggests these five domains are universally desired and are fundamental to a flourishing life.
Core components of human flourishing
-
Happiness and life satisfaction: This includes subjective well-being and the general feeling of contentment with one’s life.
-
Mental and physical health: The presence of good health in both mind and body is considered essential.
-
Meaning and purpose: Having a sense of purpose in life and believing that one’s life has significance is a key component.
-
Character and virtue: This domain involves cultivating positive character strengths and virtues.
-
Close social relationships: Strong, positive relationships with others are vital for human well-being.
Other frameworks, such as PERMA™ theory (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment) from the Positive Psychology Center, also highlight these areas, though with slightly different terminology.
