Making The Best Use of Time

Hi Readers, I hope you are doing amazing. I came across a article “Learn how to Clear Your Mind” by Jim stone, and a TED Talk on ” How to multiply your time” by Rory Vaden.

I loved the way of clearing our mind in 10 mins

The Clear Mind Procedure:

1. Take out a blank piece of paper and write the words “What’s on my mind” at the top. Then write down everything that’s on your mind.
2. Take out another piece of paper, turn it sideways, and create three columns. Label these three columns: “active concern,” “maybe later,” and “delete.” Sort all the items on the first piece of paper into the 3 columns on the second piece of paper.
3. Delete all the items in the delete column. Tell each item, one by one, that you’re done with them, and that they should go away and never come back.
4. Take the items from the “maybe later” column and put them on your “maybe later” list. (If you don’t keep a “maybe later” list, start one).
5. Take the items from the “active concern” column and put them into your planning system. (If you don’t have a planning system, then get one).

Multiplying The Time

There are old theories of time management which are still there today, say to do more things faster, which is one-dimensional . One has to perform their entire task. The two dimensional theory came with the practice on concentration on most important task(Covey’s Four Quadrants for time management. The Covey time management)

The most effective way is three-dimensional one which is based on the significance of the task. This makes us think in a different way, these type of people usually ask the question “What can I do today, that can make better tomorrow?, what can I do right now that can make the future better?. “ They are making the significance calculation.

Eliminate- Can I eliminate this?, Is it worth doing?. if the answer is yes then just eliminate it. This gives us the permission to ignore.

Because you are always saying no to something, when you say yes to another thing, you are simultaneously say no to infinite no of things.

Automate- Can I automate this? Automation is to your time, exactly what compounding interest is to your money. Automation takes time and make more time.

Delegate- Can it be delegated? if yes then delegate.

Now concentrate or procrastinate depending on the significance of the task.

Well, there is a major distinction to realize, there is a difference in waiting to do something and that we know we should be doing, which we don’t feel like doing versus waiting to do something because we decided that now is not the right time.

The patience to put off the insignificant things like  checking emails 24 hours a day, you multiply your time by giving yourself the emotional permission to spend time on things today that will give more time tomorrow.

I merged this two ideas and this is how it looks.

I hope this helps, Please share your thoughts on this idea. Always open for new ideas.

 

 

 

 

 

Resistance-The Enemy

Hello, Hope you are doing good. It been a while that I haven’t posted any of the writings and today I wish to write.

I couldn’t post anything because of all ups and downs in my life, dwelling in laziness, thinking deeply, feeling guilty, busy working, busy travelling, attending the classes, sick (unhealthy), internet connection issue, watching tv soaps, online shopping etc..

The list goes on and on, but today I don’t want to give reasons and  there is only one word for all the excuses and that is “Resistance “. Yesterday while I was in terrace listening to  the audio book “The War of Art: Winning the Inner Creative Battle”.Thanks to the book which thought me how to fight the inner battle. So far I have finished the first part of the book -“Resistance”. I thought let me act before I move to the next chapter. so here is what I learned about Resistance

To truly pursue your creativity you have to fight a battle, in fact fight a war. When you are stuck in creativity, you are in the middle of war. we are fighting an enemy who is incredibly cleaver,crafty and skilled at staying hidden. The enemy has the name and its “Resistance”.I have decided to beat the resistance and start doing things, I have got a big list to beat the resistance, now I am going to do the next task on my list. Please do share your thoughts. 🙂

8 Principles of Fun

 

Summer’s faded, but you’ll remember that moment of coming in from an afternoon in the sun. Tired, dusty. When you swallow you can feel the dryness in the mouth. Your whole body wants a drink of water—craves it, in fact.

As you pour the water, the glass grows heavier, and colder, as it fills.

Perhaps you pause. Just a moment.

Then lift the glass and drink it down, feeling the rush as you’re nourished and refreshed.

Sometimes our busy lives can leave us a little desiccated—dehydrated, overwhelmed, and brittle. If that’s true for you, The Eight Irresistible Principles of Fun will help make things a little more juicy for you. They’ll rejuvenate, and help you get ready for what’s next.

Have a look

Trple Filter Test

Hi dear bloggers. Hope you doing great. Lets enjoy this test.:) 🙂

In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said,“Do you know what I just heard about your friend?”“Hold on a minute,” Socrates replied. “Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be good idea to take a moment and filter what you’re going to say. That’s why I call it the triple filter test. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?”“Well, no,” the man said, “actually I just heard about it and…”“All right,” said Socrates. “So you don’t really know if it’s true or not. Now, let’s try the second filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?”“Umm, no, on the contrary…”“So,” Socrates continued, “you want to tell me something bad about myfriend, but you’re not certain it’s true. You may still pass the test though, because there’s one filter left—the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?”“No, not really.”“Well,” concluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me is neither true, nor good, nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?”

I really enjoyed this test.. hope you enjoy this.

Silent Killer

Hi Dear Readers! Hope you are good?

Do You know! someone is killing people silently.. Who?…

I Guess, it is “Fear” Sometimes … We all have experienced this emotion many times(or at least once)

Fear! It eats you from within; it renders you ineffective.A state of mind is something that one assumes. It cannot be purchased. It must be created. Fear is the dark room where negatives are developed.Some times we refuse to be, what we wanted to be, all because of fear.

Before you can conquer the enemy you need to acknowledge it, and give it a name. You need to know its name, its habits and its place of abode. Many of us stick our heads in the sand when fear comes along. We worry lose sleep and our imaginations run wild. Fear feeds on fear.

Dangers of Fear 😦

Mr Hill, fear paralyzes the faculty of reason, destroys the faculty of imagination, kills off self confidence, undermines enthusiasm, and quenches self control. It destroys charm from ones personality, diverts concentration, gives rise to procrastination, neutralizes will power, destroys ambition, beclouds the memory and invites failure in every conceivable form; it kills love,
discourages friendship, invites disaster, and leads to sleeplessness, worry, misery and
unhappiness. A worthy enemy indeed!

Although fear is a powerful force, love is more powerful, love conquers all. Fear is the supreme robber of time, how often are you handcuffed by fear?

Many times in this way we often try to personalize something that isn’t personal. Often times the thing that holds some one back is the feeling they don’t deserve better, that and the fear of succeeding are the two main causes of not achieving what we would like to do.

I think the biggest and most important lesson we learn on earth is the lesson concerning fear. Fear is the supreme force that can hold us back from reaching our goals and dreams. There are only two forces in the universe, love and fear. Often times they are referred to good and evil, God and the Devil.Fearing is a silent killer when you give in to Fearing. Take the positive actions. Tell your heart that don’t give any space to fear in… Go ahead,  Be without fear :). I think, people who are in fear, … this is the right time to include in your resolution list  to overcome fear

Courage is not the lack of fear but the ability to face it.”

Love And Be Loved!

❤ Is it more important to love or be loved?

The Puzzle plagues the mind.

My Heart debates with the mind,

Always Wondering,yet never understanding…❤❤❤

The simple notion why…

Despite all my trials and tribulations,

of which I have to vent,

To be in love is quite the rollercoaster…

To receive it’s far more pleasant…❤❤❤
