……
There is so much to do and so
little time
Makes me feel bad about myself
Continuous balancing left me
tired
Some of things that has worked
for me
1. Problem of stuff
Managing stuff takes time
You don’t own stuff
Stuff owns you
Stopped accumulating them
Gadgets
Books I would never read again
Giga bytes of movies
Furniture and items
Clothes I would never fit in
Place for two things
Useful
Beautiful
Don’t own/keep something
because I would use it someday
Get it the day you would need it
Simplify your life
2. Information overload
New TV
Also, there is just too much
knowledge out there
There always was
Its just easily accessible now
Identified people who acts as filters
Won’t take their names
Follow their tweets, blogs
... a man perfects himself by
work more than by reading, ...
3. Multi tasking is a myth
Carrom
Foosball
TT
Interesting conversations
Laptops in meeting
Two laptops when pairing
Partial Attention Disorder
another name for not doing
anything well
Multi tasking
Conscious brain doesn’t multi-
task
One task at a time
Worry about why am I in this
meeting before the meeting
4. Guilt of sleep
If I cut down my sleep for 2 hours
I have 2 hours extra
Not true, if you care about quality of
what you do in that time
Its not how much you sleep
Its what you do when you are
awake
5. Stop starting and start
finishing
Close some doors
Yes its heart breaking
You are also your own customer
The joy of finishing 1 is much
higher than having 10 in progress
6. Engage your conscious mind
I love podcasts
Because you can listen to them when you are
using your sub-conscious brain
Walking your dog
Driving the car
Waiting for doctor
Shopping for grocery
7. Importance of flow
Bliss of leisure and Joy of work
There is difference between fun,
pleasure and happiness
Flow State
Clear goals
High degree of concentration
loss of the feeling of self-consciousness
Activity is intrinsically rewarding, so there is an
effortlessness of action.
Lack of awareness of bodily needs (e.g. hunger)
Effective use of time
