We all know how good it feels after ticking off the tasks from our list and that too in an effective and efficient manner. We all want to be productive at our work yet a lot of us are unable to do so in a sustainable manner. In my school life, I always used to do things at the end moment just before the deadlines and doing so has helped me in becoming somehow productive at my studies and in my internships. 1. Create a to-do list 📃 It is very important to get rid of unnecessary thoughts which go in our mind. And to do so we have to write a to-do list. Before starting our day we should create a list of tasks which we need to do in a day. In this way, we would not forget anything and also there would be more chances that we complete these tasks. Also, by writing things down we don't have to use our energy to recall those tasks in our mind and we would be using that energy on other important things. Whatever you do be it assignments, projects, shopping, etc make friends with lists. 2....

I have been journaling since the beginning of this COVID outbreak and I found this habit of writing regularly so much beneficial. I feel much lighter, my thoughts are more organized, my writing has improved. Here are some of the reasons why you should journal. For Self Reflection 🌻 On an average day, we do a lot of things and a lot of t h oughts are going in our heads. We learn a lot of new things, we make various mistakes, we are engaged with various people. But, a lot of us don’t spend time introspecting. By writing journals, we can get rid of all those thoughts as we jot them down on a piece of paper or laptop. By writing journals, we can stop for some time and we can focus on ourselves and then come out with a lot of positivity. We can use the journals to write about what mistakes we made and then try not to repeat those mistakes. We can use it to think about how we have developed from what we were before. By self-reflecting, we would be able to get to know ourselves better and ...

I have been a bit inconsistent with my blog these days. One of the reasons is I have been procrastinating a lot these days and I am writing lesser. There is a common problem which I have seen in a lot of people. Many people prefer quality over quantity. I had this notion as well in my school days as well as in my initial college days, but when I write posts for this blog, I prefer to write whatever I feel might be helpful and don't bother much about the end result.   I had read a case study where a teacher divided the students into two groups. One group would be marked based on the quality of their best pot and the second group would be marked on the number of pots created. Now, among these two groups, which group do you think created better pot? Most of you have picked the one which had one goal to create a perfect pot. But the second group beat the first one. The reason is quite insightful. The first group was focused on creating a perfect pot they ended up expecting higher...

  Hello everyone, today I want to talk about the Magic of Compounding. I was introduced to this concept when I read the Atomic Habits. Compounding basically means that a small change done over a regular period of time would result in huge changes. Now, you would ask how, so do a simple maths, Let's say you improve every day by 1% for 365 days in a year. Then you improve by 36 Times (Approx.) Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world, He who understands it earns it. He who doesn't pay it. Now, let us start with a few examples. 1. Warren Buffet Warren Buffet started investing at the age of 10 and has been invest for more than 75 years. Now, the real reason for his success is the compounding effect. He has spent on 400-500 investments so far in his life but most of his revenue has come from the max of 5 investments. Now, some people would say that it was his luck. Now, again even though it was luck but the odds of luck are more when you do more. Warren Buffet is an...

  Hello everyone, today I want to talk about how to stay positive, consistent and productive during these circumstances while being at home. 1. Waking up early and sleeping on time I have realized recently that due to my inconsistent lifestyle for the past couple of months, I was not consistent and my productivity was in decline. So, I am working on waking up early for the past couple of days and honestly speaking it is a bit difficult at the beginning but later on you would enjoy waking up early. When we wake up early we have more time on our hand which we can devote to ourselves by doing some workout, meditating, reading book or writing or doing any stuff which we like. If we wake up late then we rush things and then our whole day is hampered.               2. Pursuing some hobbies Pursuing hobbies that interest us and makes us happy helps to stay positive and reduce our stress and also to clear our heads ...
