Isnt' that saying so apt for each one of us? Absolutely, though I want to religiously follow that, it never really happens. Ah! How can I finish all that I want to do, I dont have the TIME, time is never enough and the biggest enemy for all of us. Agree? In the recent past while I was at an office event, I got to attend an interesting session by Azim Jamal, the Corporate Sufi specialist who shared nuggets from his books. One of the most interesting thing he shared which still lingers in my mind and which am consciously making an attempt to follow till date. It proved beneficial for me, you might find it phenomenal too. We all live in a mobile world, everything we do, is fast paced and on the move, we don't realise but we all end up saying "Gosh! wish I could have done this, that" "How I wish my day could have been more productive" "I hope to finish it atleast by tomorrow" so on and so forth. PERIOD.
This is aligned to the law of attraction, every action has an equal and opposite reaction to it. Dont get me? Ok! So here it goes, we start our day in a rat's race, we want to leave early to work, we get a call, we get delayed, then the traffic becomes so insane, you have to be at work by 9 am, you know it, no wonder you kept snoozing that alarm, Kiddin! but still ended up half hour late to work. So it starts here, the CRIBBING session. I am already late, how am I supposed to finish so much today? Then your Blackberry rings, wait hold on, a beep says "You have got a mail", well we the multitaskers attempt doing all that's not possible at a single time. Time goes on, it's already 6 pm, time to leave home. No worries, today I can extend half hour more as I came late, you put on the ms. honesty attitude. But still you have the same 8 tasks you had jotted down when you came in the morning? Who is to be blamed for your unproductive office hours? Is it the phone? Is it the mail or is it the late coming, or is it just you?
All in All. Change your pattern, set targets, leave early from home, even if you get late, dont let that bog you down. Switch off that Blackberry for an hour, so what, your client will understand, keep that mailbox aside for an hour. Just an hour try staying aside from all that can distract you even if your work profile demands that. You will realise, one hour is just more than enough for you to achieve one big accomplishment a day. Post that hour, resume with all the madness, but still folks, you have achieved your targets, one per day, you are right on track.... Do it and feel even better. So remember, never put off till tomorrow what you can do today!
Liked it and agreed, Anu!
