Time and procrastination

 

There are multiple benefits while assigning time to the task. Whenever we see ourselves procrastinating at a task, we must have noticed that we had not had any time frame on when to start and when to finish. This is really important because once we have this clear idea about when to start and finish, we can save a lot of time. After the end of the time, we are free and independent enough to do our favorite task. Most of the time we procrastinate on the things that someone assigned to us. It is not our willingness, yet we have to do this. At these times become the problem of procrastination. We tend to put things for tomorrow day after day until we reach a point when there is not enough time to do even half of the task we are supposed to do.

With a time-scheduled process, we can actually calculate the process of work and the time needed. This saves a lot of time for procrastination. I can say procrastination sucks. It sucks everything. But being a non-procrastinator is impossible,, by human nature we have to put something off for tomorrow. We can choose which one. That is a blessing and an opportunity.

Business asteroids

  Several million years ago asteroid in a size larger than the moon hit the earth and wiped most of the species leaving the dust particles to afloat. Since then, asteroid is identified as mostly a negative thing. In fact, many historians believe that that was the turning point to the second life of the planet. Generally, we could see people referring asteroid as capable of destroying anything. This true, but it is not complete. The sentence only fulfills the moral meaning when we add “and bringing the new world of new opportunities”. We would be survived if it hadn’t happened amid the dinosaurs. We must have gone extinct long before. It is common to assign asteroid anything that is about to wipe out the old and bring the new.    The term Business asteroid got popular in the last two decades. Reason: we barely saw anything before. Like an actual asteroid it is perceived as wrong at its entry. Many people said it would not be a problem for them. Some sided with ´this i...

Attachment and decisions

 Attachment creates problems. The reason we feel lonely whenever outside of our comfort zone is the experience we are going through is new. When we go through something that we never went through before, we feel a kind of uncomfortableness. This uncomfortableness is resulting in the creation of new brain patterns. Brains neuron activates when we go through something new. The existing pattern when finds it difficult to work with. This is the exact reason why while the new patterns form, we feel insecure and frustrated. Sometimes it creates fear. The brain nature of fight or flee comes to action when we put ourselves in fear. Fear most of the time creates a fleeing sensation than fighting. Because fleeing is less risky than fighting. Your life is guaranteed when you flee. But fighting takes a lot of effort that maintains the required outcome. So if fighting is not a desirable option, the fleeing is the only left one. That is why we see some people easily setting their presence in the...

Incompetence and communication

 There is a strategy that is gaining its popularity at its peak within the last two decades is the mechanism of copycat. It is not new, but the copycat usage is at all time high. It took actually decades, in the early 90s and before, to actually copy the business model. There are multiple reasons behind that. The two most important ones are the lack of communication tools and incompetence.  When a business model becomes successful, it rewards the owner and some of the partners. And their success only limits within their reach and there were no things such as viral marketing. If it had to spread, it must go through word of mouth. It is slow but powerful. Moreover, the business tycoons of that era were not ready to reveal their secret recipes. They themselves developed and applied to every venture. Whenever the organization became successful, they will reign the field, most probably forever. And people thinking of starting a business won't even think of starting one with a h...

Time framing for success

 The problem with people who were used with instant gratification is that they would often assign wrong time frame with result analyses. What gets them to get their feet off the pride work is correlated with the measurement. The first few time blocks are always found to go against expectations. Without having the right time frame to measure, they often fall into the trap. The initials days or months always are meat to experiment and learn. During this learning process, things won’t go as expected and mistakes are necessary. Because learning at the early stages makes the person or the organization strong and keeps huge losses away in the near future.  This period is often misunderstood and depicted as a wrong scenario thereby instilling the wrong belief or notion of passion. This is imprudent in nature and could be fixed straight with understanding or guidance.   The range of possible net outcome differs different purposes. On a personal level, it requires less time a...

Slow and consistent growth

Small things has big impacts in our life. Everything starts with small and based on the interest, it keeps the growth. When we try new things such as a habit or a business, the common fallacy would be to make the progress as much as possible. We accelerate the process with the motivation behind. But this hardly works. Wise people don’t do that. What gives the results is slow and consistent progress. Because of our complex brain structure, it isn’t fertile to sudden changes. That’s the primitive brain. This part is afraid of change. It offers resistance every time we try to change. The more we push the novelty, the more it repel it. It is important to take care of such mess part of the brain before bringing a change. Slow introduction is not terrifying, it is learning. Without learning the basics we cannot make the change. Actually this basic learning process is the toughest one. Brain needs a lot of time to extract its attachment from the previous thinking. Installing the new method ...

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 believ...

Analyse and accept

It is very hard to articulate how the things unfold. It never leave like how we expected to happen. We can either get thrill from it from it for all the unexpected moves or we can shift ourselves in the dark with an aversion. We can actually make to different outcome from these two options. But only thing that highlights at the end is the effect it made it ourselves. One brings good and other, not necessarily bad, but nothing. It is same as not doing anything. Whenever we face with a situation, there is an equal probability to make it as we expected or it turns other way. Seeing that possibility before it happen will not certainly refrain it from happening, because whatever gonna happen is gonna happen. But those perception can mould our lives by accepting the situation. When we start to accept the things, we starts to analyze. When we start to analyze, we starts to improve by making good decisions. So whatever the outcome, even it is on our side, accepting and analyzing is useful. Tha...

Weekly analysis

  It is really possible to outperform our past amount of output having a systematic plan. By sticking to a weekly plan is way more powerful and productive than the yearly plan. In case of scribing plan during particular year, it is a common phenomenon that people make less potential ones and moreover they tend to procrastinate. Procrastination here happens due to uncertainty. It is one of the highly leverage trigger for procrastination. In between the target and the presence, we could see a large gap of non-performance review. This means we never check the results and analyze the progress. All is left to the end and mod time is mostly wasted. It is a mistake not to fix this recurring occurrence. Having just a plan for this is year is same not having a plan. Every one knows after a year things won’t be the same. But our goal is to make the situation and lifestyle better than before. For this evaluation is inevitable. Having a progressive journal is both a reflection and motiva...

Thinking has a choice

You have a brain and you can think. It is bless. Animals held by us have brain too. But they can't think. They feel pain,hunger and fear. When confronted with multiple ways, the unconsciousness works and leads to where there is less pain, more food and less threat. They don't reason and think twice. So we are lucky to have a more sophisticated brain than our peer animals. Considering the evolution theory, our relatives. It's this brain that made who we are from who we were. It is what keeps making the world a better place. It is what making us laugh and cry. It made us capable to believe in the things not yet seen or built. We believe in the future which is yet to be invented. Fouling this we can manipulate the brain and cna make really bad people capable of doing really bad things. Which is common practice that we could not necessarily forget or avoid. The root of terrorism, Nazism and dictatorialism are the by-product of the manifestation of the above pattern thinking. Us...

Branch of possibilities

Possibility can be defined as the things that are possible. This is by catagorizing the different number of outcomes. Each outcomes could be a possibility. Every results as a consequence of action leads to a possible outcome. The number of outcomes is different for different activities. There is a direct proportionality between the number of outcomes and number of decisions. A single trivial decision could lead to multiple results. And every choice has its consequence. Every product, experience,art and relationships are the stories of series of executed decision. If something doesn't work we can always review the chain of choices and could spot the wrong done. Atleast half of the chain might be good. But this chain of decisions turns out to be hard when the outcome wasn't as expected. The hardest part isn't the first or the last thread, but the millions of threads waiting to be knotted in the middle. This happens to everything. The decision we make have lot of impact. And e...
