Rescheduling and thrashing

Rescheduling and thrashing are both different words. But they are connected and dependent. One won’t (mustn’t) survive without the other. This was best described by Seth in his masterpiece Linchpin. It make sense when both are studied which levels the confusion of delayed shipping. Shipping isn’t confined to products and services, but it extends to anything. To think shipping as doing as per the schedule makes it more easy to grasp. Even the subtle things that hide along the appears to be meaningful.

Thrashing is nothing but excuses due to fear that delays shipping. And rescheduling is a by-product of thrashing. Thrashing occurs at everything and every time. Mostly due to the weak resistance, we are nullified about this. At times when resistance peaks, we consciously prefer to stay the same. We can’t relate the circumstances happened at the start and happening at the end. The usual cliché “ it happens each time” is the best explanation the resistance wants us to believe. But there is a paradox. It doesn’t happens every time (although is does), we let it happen. Our team let it happen. And the result, delayed shipping with the same product. Delayed action with the same decision. But thrashing is good at times. It moves us to fix the defects and subtle errors if only done at the beginning. It will not lead to a reschedule. But no one likes to thrash at the initial stages. We hate when contrary suggestions arise in the early stage. It is utterly improper to hear except the fact that it keeps rescheduling at bay. And for the worst, it never happens at the beginning. But at the moment when you think you are ready to ship, ready to speak in public, ready to go bike ride, thrashing shows up. It may hit us in any form. May be through a little tiny thought. The goal of thrashing is to reschedule or to trash totally.

Focus makes the difference

The amount of work depends on the amount of time we spent on and the amount of focus. To be precise, it is the product of those two. There are various types of practices that makes up to a perfect finishing time. But whenever we look at it, the core always lies in the amount of we focused. We can even say that focus is solely responsible for completion. Without focus nothing cannot be completed. It may stay unsolved forever. People try to make their lives better by doing several things, in the end we could say that they were indirectly trying to improve their focus. Focus helps is to accomplish things within a very short span of time. There by reducing the time wastage and leaving things perfectly finished. With focus, we can complete even the task that now feel like impossible. People often neglect this fact try their best to make a difference in their lives by merely altering the surface. That may do good in the short term. But in the long term, it does nothing. We have to change ...

Pitching an idea

Pitching an Idea to the investors when we desperately need money is quite challenging. Convincing investors is not an easy job. We have to go multiple time to receive first round investment. Investors care more the enthusiasm and mentality of the founder than the idea that they are pitching. In order to show the driven passion, we must have a very good communication skill. Most of the founders keeps their skill at convincing investors at its peak. When they see the opportunity along with it, they tend to invest. Even investors with years of experience fails to spot the right person and idea. But if you ask whether they regret, most of them would say no. They did made their decision based on their knowledge and capability at that time. Investors don’t need to know all successful ideas and companies, they just focus on the ones that aligns their fundamentals. Everyone has their own view of analyzing and selecting. Therefore pitching an idea to the investors might bring the investment i...

Society can be a trap

There are lot of traps out there. Only after falling or getting out of that trap we realize that we were bondaged for a very long time. We were born into the society trap where everything is predefined. Everything is written and all we have to do is to obey them. We are not allowed to wander with our will and certainly not with any other rules. Predefined are the prime ones. When we look at those cultural scribings of activism, we could see that everything is limiting and designed to refrain is from our true potential. The hardest thing is not being unaware of this trap, it is being in the trap even after knowing you are in a trap. This makes us to think differently. Because we found something, probably, no one around found. It would be game changer for everyone. It could transform the society and culture, paving a more promising future for the generations to come. But what happen when we introduce this theory to those blind people is quite depressing. They mock and joke you, laugh a...

Uncomfortable situation

Emotional scars

It is important to have emotional scars. Once you're hit so badly emotionally, your mind reacts in such a way that of the experience it had. By exposing ourselves to hard experiences, we could constantly make our mind more rigid, capable of facing hard problems. The sooner we get there, the better the life experience will be.

Eliminating shallow work

Almost everything that added value to growth is provided by few things. About 80% of the growth is happened because of the 20% of the well contributed things. This is a very famous principle. This is one of the reason for advices such as focus on few things stands relevant. Giving time and energy to few things makes it easy to get more output. And the results are truly visible. By constantly trying to expand the focus to many things results in shallow results. It is no good for none. To make that 80% improvement in our personal or professional matter, we need to spend the time wisely. By selecting the things to focus upon has this direct correlation with output. At times, we do feel that everything is necessary and it cannot be completed without it. But those are meant to finish as secondary. Primary works have primary importance and yields more results. For every energy we puts in, we expect results. The more we 80/20 principle, the more things get done. We can easily so...

End of the day

How we spend our time datermines how we spend our life. The productive minute spend makes the hour great. It is just the acts at one in sixtieth of an hour. Just a minute of greeting could turn the entire hour into a blossom. We can observe the high energy and enthusiasm throughout. Yet most people neglect this simple fact of turning a minute to impact an hour. The entire blocks of hours slips this way. The case is not different with day. An hour of favourable act alter the entire day. Here the ratio of time spent wisely to spent vaguely is relatively small. Yet the avoidance is common. This can can be extended into year, decade or lifetime. The same feel we experience at the end of the day when spent an hour in purpose is similar to the reinforced version of it at the end of life. So it's not so difficult to figure out how the final stage of life would be like. By carefully measuring the blissfull experience of each decade, we can most accurately predict what it would be like to b...

Use information for seduction

The ability to get out of yourself and dig into other people's lives can be useful when it comes to seduction. we must let ourselves subside and know the opposite person well. Know what they want, what they like, how they would react to different circumstances, and whey they like and dislike. During this process of minute scrutiny, never leave a clue that might lead to suspicion. Digest this information and keep tracking the person occasionally and ask them subtly about those private things to show you really care what they said. This sense of feeling that this person cares about us when used correctly can be a tool for seduction.
