Behavioural Procrastination.

Hello friends, let us talk about 'the' problem of today's generation. Procrastination! Yes, that's right. In today's times, we have the luxury of well connected networks, technology that gets us things to our door  steps, literally. The excessive use of internet facilities has only added up to our already developing procrastinating behaviour. While the advancement in facilities only make our life better and more comfortable, to what extent is this comfort zone really beneficial, is the introspection we need to do? We often concede to the "I will do it later, in my own time" mindset and there lies the very foundation of 'the' problem. Days become weeks and months, affecting our general productivity and considerably damages the creativity in one. This works very similar to your computer’s RAM. If you delay the work, it adds up to the already present pile and then starts the vicious cycle leading to slower or mediocre results. This can be more fatal than it seems. Procrastination becomes a habit eventually and gradually reflects on a preson's behaviour. But why is it a problem? In my opinion, if something seeps into the very core (such as sub-conscious behaviour), then there is no coming back. A person will then never realize what a trap one is in. With the passage of time, one who fails to scrutinise  one’s own lacunae, will seldom work upon overcoming them. In addition to this, we as a society, eventually accept the budding mediocrity as a consequence of our self-created procrastination.

Now that, we have diagnosed the problem, let us try to remedy the same. Here are a few personally tried techniques, to at least quick fix the damage caused due to habitual delay.
1. Divide your time as per your targets to be achieved.
2. Try to finish targets in your most productive hours of the day.
3. Try and modify the Pomodoro technique as per your capacity.
4. Maintain a log book of all your important doings of the ‘unit’ of time you work.
5. Make enough room for unforeseen emergencies.

Take care. Kthanksbye.

To new beginnings!

Hello there! Welcome to my first ever blog. Every day can be an inspiration to start afresh. Just like today, I am aiming to do new things more frequently. Recently, I had been investing some considerable amount of time in reading self-growth books and I have realized that the potential of bringing that required change comes from within. To achieve something, it always is important to have the courage to thrive no matter what? And the secret to success is simply self-confidence, the vision behind everything exemplary is the will to do first start and then to finish it no matter how blue the process may seem. Nothing comes easy and hard work is the key. In my blogs, I am planning to write about my work, my career, my life, and of course about my secret of interest in writing. Not known to many, I have a thing for creative writing, and I am planning to do that more often, because it gives me happiness. So let's do what it takes to be happy. Stay tuned.

Competitions and Rejections!

 Hello everyone!! This is a special one for all of those who feel the invisible pressure burdened onto them. I have many names in my head right now who can claim this is for them. Lemme tell you, you have been my inspiration at so many times. Today, I am here to talk about how competitions and rejections are like noughts and crosses! The game in which the one who grasps the objective and plausibly the tactics, leads to a draw - a no win situation. But, do you lose the game either?  Well, competitions work like that too. The only outcome you get out of it is a reality check - a route map to success. And rejections are obviously friction in that journey. So, how does getting a hand on these brings you to a better position? Simply put, take every rejection as an input fed-back to the competitions’ algorithm. Whether this feedback is positive or negative is a rhetoric one needs to answer. And then maybe you can work out the math to predict whether the rejections stop or is it you....

Self-doubt.

This is something we all go through at some point of our lives. Some experience it in their professional, while others in their personal or private lives. What makes a difference is the attitude with which people deal with it. As they say, "to each, it's own", people have different responses to similar stimuli, also a very personal coping mechanism. But what makes us talk about self-doubts is the pressure we put onto ourselves. Let’s get real, we all have self-set goals and very high ambitions for ourselves, which sometimes lead to (unrealistic) expectations, maybe? So far so good! But the problem arises when we start questioning our abilities (mental and emotional) and our skills,and somehow take the very route going south! And then with added peer pressure and performance anxiety, literally playing the last nail in the coffin, one finds it difficult to keep the cool, and a recursive loop of self-doubt starts! Now the point is how to get oneself out of that loop? The ans...
