Time management
Howdy Reader ! Wish you a great Ganesh Chathurthi and hope all obstacles are cleared for you. Its a a bright day today and I realize that I am late. Well you see , I dragged my work until this morning . I slept at 4 am ( This is first time ever I had to work that late).
See, they say it takes time to save time. It takes time to learn something that you can do much faster the subsequent times. It takes time to discipline. It takes time to fit multiple tasks in your day. You want to practice some hobby, get work done in office and still find enough time for workout and health. You and I know both know doing all the things I mentioned is to say a put a word “daunting”. Of course you will find excuses to skip your hobby and workout. You will say “I deserve rest after a hard day at office”. But the question comes who are you seeking excuse from ? I don’t think anyone else will care much about you other than yourself. All good things in life need time and more importantly “constant regular time”. That means , you should by all means possible make sure that you are doing your thing at the time set for the thing. You go to gym or walk at 8 pm most days ? Well make it all the days at 8pm. You practice 30 Japanese words every day during the walk? Well do it at the same time every day. I think what you need to realize is that the efforts you take to improve yourself will bear liner or constant growth for sometime but if you keep repeating it day after day, the growth is suddenly exponential. You see you can do the same task in like one tenth of the time you took on your initial attempts. Suddenly you see the big picture and how your thing fits in perfect symmetry with all the other things. Like Dr Rusell Ackoff says “A system is never the sum of its parts; it’s the product of their interaction.”
Dear Reader, I know you might feel being preached at somewhat relaxing time of your day. But as I write this, I realize that we should be creatures of discipline. Only then , we get time to enjoy ourselves more than we could without discipline. One of the ways to actually get a clear understanding of this idea is to stop the unlimited scrolling on random social sites. Your mind will suddenly feel the time slowing and you will reflect on what you must do rather than what you could do. I could have not written today because a part of my mind was whispering “You need a break!”. But what brought me back was that this conversation with you is a break that I cherish.
