Are you smart

There are habits, assets and learnings that seem too expensive right now. And so we simply stick with our status quo.When we take the time to itemize the carrying benefits and write them down, understanding the accumulated benefits over time, they’re harder to overlook.

Carrying Benefits

People always address now problems before they work on later problems.All problems are short-term problems if we tell ourselves the right story. But we usually don’t, because we discount the future significantly. A grilled cheese sandwich today is more important than two grilled cheese sandwiches next week. Unless we tell ourselves a present and urgent story about what it feels like to ignore the future.

Problems Now (Problems Later)

When we seek to make change, our instinct is to start pushing. But shifting to pull can create efficiencies that can’t be matched by mass promotion.

Push Vs Pull

Skepticism is a virtue. It requires a willingness to question conventional wisdom, and the guts to accept something after you discover that it’s actually true.Denialism, on the other hand, is a willful rejection of reality. It’s safe and easy, and unproductive. Because there’s no room to change your mind.To be a generous skeptic, we need to state in advance specifically what it would take for us to engage with the proposed insight, and then do so after our standards are met.

Skepticism and Denial

Sometimes, we choose to use the urgent crisis as fuel. We set up our lives around creating these deadlines, reminding ourselves that if we cross that line, we’re dead.And then we allow the world to do it to us. To create urgencies simply to take our attention and focus.Productivity is a measure of the value of what we ship in the time we’ve got to invest. It’s not measured in drama.It’s possible to do great work without putting everything in jeopardy.

The Next Train

The strategy of the smallest viable audience doesn’t let you off the hook–it does the opposite. Instead, you have to choose your customers–who’s it for and what’s it for. And when you’ve identified them, the opportunity/requirement is to create so much delight and connection that they choose to spread the word to like-minded peers.Specificity is the way. It has nothing to do with absolute scale and everything to do with being really clear about what hook you want to be on and setting a standard for producing work that people connect to and are changed by.

Smallest Viable Audience

Great stories succeed because they are able to capture the imagination of large or important audiences.A great story is true. Not necessarily because it’s factual, but because it’s consistent and authentic. Great stories make a promise. The promise needs to be bold and audacious.Great stories are trusted. Great stories are subtle. Great stories happen fast. First impressions are far more powerful than we give them credit for.Great stories don’t always need eight-page color brochures or a face-to-face meeting. Great stories don’t appeal to logic, but they often appeal to our senses.

How to tell a great story

Great stories are rarely aimed at everyone.Great stories don’t contradict themselves.Most of all, great stories agree with our world view. The best stories agree with what the audience already believes and makes the members of the audience feel smart and secure when reminded how right they were in the first place.

How to tell a great story (continued)

Get smarter. Hurry. Learn something new and difficult and valuable. Learn it today and continue learning it tomorrow.Solve interesting problems.Care. More

Three simple and difficult steps

That would be you.Even if you’re not self-employed, your boss is you. You manage your career, your day, your responses. You manage how you sell your services and your education and the way you talk to yourself.Odds are, you’re doing it poorly.If you had a manager that talked to you the way you talked to you, you’d quit. If you had a boss that wasted as much of your time as you do, they’d fire her. If an organization developed its employees as poorly as you are developing yourself, it would soon go under.Think about how we manage ourselves.

The world’s worst boss

Deniability–“They decided, created, commanded or blocked. Not my fault.”Helplessness–“My boss won’t let me.”Contempt–“They don’t pay me enough to put up with the likes of these customers.”Fear–“It’s good enough, it’s not worth the risk, people will talk, this might not work…”

Inspiration from Seth's Blog

The only thing you can control is YOUR life. You can't control how people behave, react or how they think. You can'control everything that happens around you. So go with a flow and take a stand for things you want or don't want. And controlling everything is exhausting, so let go.

1. You can't control everything.

You know how mentally draining it is to hold grudges or stick to fights? Yes, people do really bad things to us sometimes. And the best way to overcome that is by first grieving, giving yourself adequate time to get over whatever happened. Then, instead of bad-mouthing them or playing victim, let go. You'll realise by forgiving them, you are doing good to yourself.

2. Forgive and forget.

This is one of the hardest things to accept for someone who really believes that love and kindness can change people. People don't change. If they are used to behaving in a certain way all their life, it's hard to see the world differently. People have been raised in certain ways and rarely do they overcome that. Just let them be. It's not on you to change them.

3. People rarely ever change.

If you do everything to make other people happy, the only unhappy person in the end will be you. Is that worth it?look

4. Stop living your life in order to please others.

Right now, if you can think of even one person to call or run to when something goes wrong, you are better off than 95% of people out there. Because the reality is, we always have more than we value. So appreciate everything you have, nurture that love and surround yourself with it. Don't expect because expectations lead to direct disappointment.

5. Expect nothing and appreciate everything.

Make kindness your vibe. Make people feel mad good around you even if they have nothing to offer you. Good deeds are karmic, so if you give good, you get good

6. Kindness reciprocates.

If something is bringing out the worst in you, making you a bitter person, depriving you of everything that makes you unique, please walk away. Your future self will be thanking you years from now. Put yourself first. Choose you. Choose peace.

7. Walk away from anything that doesn't serve you.

Besides inflicting physical damage to your body, unwanted worrying and stress also takes away your peace. So stop and just breathe. If something is not in your control, just walk away

8. Worrying doesn't make tomorrow's problems vanish.

Understand your worth. Because that will help you filter out people who belittle you

9. Know your worth.

Do yourself a favour and stop figuring out all the time where you will be in the next 5 or 10 years. Do you realise the kind of stress you put yourself through when you do that? The energy that entails? Develop a list of goals and work towards them. But please don't stop living. Go on that vacation. Spend time with your mom. Gift your dad whatever he wants. Just be content and live.

10. Just live, you don't need to figure out life all the time.

Learning how to live peacefully and focus on enjoying your life can be difficult at times. Here are some helpful tips on how to live life to the fullest!

How to Live a Peaceful Life

The seven wastes are Transportation, Inventory, Motion, Waiting, Overproduction, Overprocessing and Defects. They are often referred to by the acronym ‘TIMWOOD’.

Muda - The original seven wastes

The 8th waste of non-utilized talent or ‘Skills’ of workers was later introduced in the 1990s when the Toyota Production System was adopted in the Western world.So the new acronym is ‘TIMWOODS’

Non-utilized talent or ‘Skills’

Includes movement of people, tools, inventory, equipment, or products further than necessary. Excessive movement of people and equipment can lead to unnecessary work, greater wear and tear, and exhaustion. Some of the countermeasures to transportation waste includes developing a U-shape production line, creating flow between processes, and not over-producing work in process (WIP) items.

Waste in transportation

Excess inventory can be caused by over-purchasing, overproducing work in process (WIP), or producing more products than the customer needs.In-office inventory waste could be files waiting to be worked on, customers waiting for service, unused records in a database, or obsolete files. Some countermeasures for inventory include:<ol><li>purchasing raw materials only when needed</li><li>reducing buffers between production steps</li><li>creating a queue system to prevent overproduction</li></ol>

Waste in inventory

Includes any unnecessary movement of people, equipment, or machinery.In the office, wasted motion can include walking, reaching to get materials, searching for files, sifting through inventory to find what is needed, excess mouse clicks, and double entry of data.Some countermeasures:<ol><li>making sure the workspace is well organized</li><li>placing equipment near the production location</li><li>putting materials at an ergonomic position to reduce stretching and straining</li></ol>

Waste in motion

This includes: 1) people waiting on material or equipment and 2) idle equipmentIn the office, waiting waste can include waiting for others to respond to an email, having files waiting for review, ineffective meetings, and waiting for the computer to load a program.Some countermeasures:<ol><li>designing processes to ensure continuous flow</li><li>leveling out the workload by using standardized work instructions</li><li>developing flexible multi-skilled workers who can quickly adjust</li></ol>

Waste in waiting

Occurs when manufacturing a product or an element of the product before it is being asked for or required.In an office environment, overproduction could include making extra copies, creating reports no one reads, providing more information than needed, and providing a service before the customer is ready.3 countermeasures for overproduction:<ol><li>using a ‘Takt Time’ ensures that the rate of manufacturing between stations are even</li><li>reducing setup times enables manufacturing small batches or single-piece flow</li><li>using a pull or ‘Kanban’ system can control the amount of WIP</li></ol>

Waste in Overproduction

Over-processing refers to doing more work, adding more components, or having more steps in a product or service than what is required by the customer.In the office, over-processing can include generating more detailed reports than needed, having unnecessary steps in the purchasing process, requiring unnecessary signatures on a document, double entry of data, requiring more forms than needed, and having an extra step in a workflow.One simple way to counter over-processing is to understand the work requirements from the standpoint of the customer.

Waste in Over-processing

Defects occurs when the product is not fit for use.4 countermeasures for defects:<ol><li>look for the most frequent defect and focus on it</li><li>design a process to detect abnormalities and do not pass any defective items along the production process</li><li>redesign the process so that does not lead to defects</li><li>use standardize work to ensure a consistent manufacturing process</li></ol>

Waste in Defects

The 8th waste is also described as the waste of unused human talent and ingenuity. This waste occurs when organizations separate the role of management from employees.The people doing the work are the ones who are most capable of identifying problems and developing solutions for them.In the office, non-utilized talent could include insufficient training, poor incentives, not asking for employee feedback, and placing employees in positions below their skills and qualifications.

Waste in Skills

VSM is a Lean management method for analyzing the current state and designing a future state.VSM is an effective tool for mapping out the processes involved, displaying the relationship between production processes in a visual manner, and for separating value-added and non-value-added activities.

Value Stream Mapping (VSM)

8 wastes of Lean can help you find bottlenecks in your organization's processes.

The seven wastes are Transportation, Inventory, Motion, Waiting, Overproduction, Overprocessing and Defects. They are often referred to by the acronym ‘TIMWOOD’.

The 8 Wastes of Lean

<ul><li>If you live in America in the 21st century you've probably had to listen to a lot of people tell you how busy they are.</li><li>We count the ways you've been told how busy you are, and the stock response is a kind of congratulation: "That's a good problem to have."</li><li>It's almost always people whose busyness is purely self-imposed.</li><li>They're busy because of their own ambition or drive or anxiety because they're addicted to busyness and dread what they might have to face in its absence.</li></ul>

The Busy Trap

Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance, a hedge against emptiness; obviously, your life cannot possibly be silly or trivial or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, and in-demand every hour of the day.It’s not as if any of us wants to live like this, any more than any one person wants to be part of a traffic jam or stadium trampling or the hierarchy of cruelty in high school — it’s something we collectively force one another to do.

The Collective Curse Of Busyness

Idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence or a vice; it is as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets. The space and quiet that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration — it is, paradoxically, necessary to getting any work done.Idle dreaming is often of the essence of what we do.

The Pursuit Of Idleness

The “crazy busy” existence so many of us complain about is almost entirely self-imposed.

<ul><li>A decluttered home is not as satisfying for some as the process of decluttering, and the joy derived from purging stuff.</li><li>Clutter is an overabundance of possessions that collectively create chaotic and disorderly living spaces.</li><li>Being around messiness would lead people away from convention, in favor of new directions.</li></ul>

The Joy Of Decluttering: Key Points

<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/06/realestate/marie-kondo-pandemic-clutter.html">According to experts like organizational behaviorist Tal Ben-Shahar</a>, it’s the joy of decluttering more than the decluttered home that drives this process (hence the great decluttering Americans went through during the pandemic).So enjoy the dance of decluttering your premises and throw away that shirt you never wore but keep on tucked in the closet!

The Dance of Decluttering

Approx 80-90% of the world's population lacks focus and faces distractions in life.  Even 90% of the population still extend their working deadlines due to laziness or due to being bored.  This is the common scenario that we all have in our life. We all lack focus, we get distracted easily and that's our biggest problem. Being a person who is working for goals needs to avoid getting distracted because this is something that harms you the most.

How to avoid distractions and stay focused

The first step to avoid distractions in life is to set a full plan of your work.  Planning is necessary while you work for your goals and becomes important when you get distracted easily. Set a plan, create a to-do list for the work that you are planning to do ahead, make your plan and follow it on a regular basis.  Set a plan that contains prior work first and the rest of work later. Having a plan can have many benefits.

1. Have a Plan of your work

It is said that If you want to rule this world then first conquer yourself and there are many ways you can do that. But one of my favourites is <a href="https://inspirationalblogs45.blogspot.com/2021/04/mindfulness-meditation-practice.html">meditation </a>. Meditation is an ancient practice that can benefit you a lot.  It not only helps in avoiding distractions but also helps in reducing stress and anxiety.

Regular Meditation

In order to achieve your desired goals you have to be hard on yourself, you have to build a strong mindset and high strength character.  Leave all your distractions and just focus on one single goal, raise all your power only in one direction.  There's a beautiful line in ramayana that states once you set up goals in life then all your focus must be on that single thing, nothing more than that.  Don't be that typical guy who wants to become a millionaire but has so many relationships busy with smartphones and continuously wasting time.

Be hard on yourself

It's easier to break a stone than to break a whole mountain, so if you're dreaming of something big then start with some small steps. Don't think that these small steps are a waste of time, no they are the staircase of your success.  Success doesn't come in a single day but it comes with the efforts that you have done.

Break your goals

Time is said to be the most precious thing that a human can ever have in his life.  Yes it's even true because once if time is gone then it never comes back and we all know that till now we have wasted thousands of minutes.  One of the major cons distractions is it wastes your time once you get distracted you can't come out from it. For example Instagram once you get stuck in the reels section then you scroll it continuously without knowing that you are <a href="https://inspirationalblogs45.blogspot.com/2021/09/Time-wasting-and-its-impact.html">wasting your time </a>.

Manage your time

Life is all about the competition that we have not from the outsiders but from the inside soul. Don't compete with others, compete with yourself, fight with yourself for the good and benefits of your life.  Everyday must be a war between you and your inner soul just do and die.  Compete with yourself, avoid everything that distracts you, increase your working hours, don't listen to your brain, don't relax, just work.

Challenge yourself

It's all about how we react to certain situations, distractions are nothing.  But something that's harmful for our career if not stopped at the right time. We can't do that in a single day but with some simple steps and regular improvements you can soon do that too. Believe in process.

How do I stay focused? | Overcome distractions 

Procrastination has been deemed the quintessential self-regulatory failure—putting off tasks despite knowing we will be worse off as a consequence. Seeing as ADHD itself is a developmental problem of self-dysregulation—a chronic, persistent delay in the acquisition and employment of the foundational self-regulatory capacities, known as the executive functions—it is no surprise that procrastination is among, if not the most commonly cited presenting problem faced by adults with ADHD seeking treatment.

Procrastination And ADHD

Procrastivity is a sneaky form of procrastination, a sort of Trojan horse of avoidance. Also known as productive procrastination, procrastivity is defined as putting off one’s priority task to escape to a lower priority, but still productive task. Procrastivity is at play when a student is suddenly driven to do laundry rather than writing a paper, or mowing the lawn is more important than working on income taxes. Procrastivity is a way to gain smaller-sooner comfort by getting something done, but at the cost of the larger-later and often more important payoff from finishing the priority task.

Procrastivity, Or Productive Procrastination

Everyone—ADHD or not—puts off tasks, including via procrastivity. Adults with ADHD, though, are at greater risk for experiencing more significant negative effects and impairments from it.But what is it about procrastivity tasks that make them magically more enticing than priority tasks? The laundry and yard work themselves likely had been objects of procrastination before. Why the motivation to do them now?A reverse engineering of procrastivity and the nature of the tasks used to avoid higher priorities offer some important lessons abouttheir particular features.

Why Put-off Tasks Are Used To Put Off Other Tasks

1) They tend to be manual or “hands on”Procrastivity tasks tend to be more manual or hands-on than priority tasks. Priority tasks, on the other hand, are more mentally challenging, exacting greater cognitive load, such as administrative tasks, writing, homework, and many others. Even among these intellectual tasks, such as different homework assignments, there is a personal rock-paper-scissors algorithm of difficulty, such as “writing is harder than reading” and “reading is harder than a problem set.”

The Characteristics Of Procrastivity Tasks

2) They offer a familiar script of onboarding steps for getting startedFor the procrastivity tasks mentioned above, laundry and mowing the lawn, there is a clear, well-rehearsed set of steps to perform for getting started that is viewed as more “doable” than the higher priority task. This makes getting started on those tasks easier and probably fuels justifications for escape in the form of the thought “I’ll do this other thing first, then I’ll me ‘in the mood’ for the priority task.” (Have you ever really been "in the mood" for laundry or taxes?)

3) There is a clearer sense of making and maintaining progressWith procrastivity tasks, you can see the laundry and lawn getting done with a corresponding decrease in the amount of time and effort remaining, a countdown until the task is done. With most priority tasks, more than one work session is required, such as writing a paper or completing taxes, and there is a possibility of surprises or difficulties with the task that could conceivably end up taking more time and effort than was originally anticipated.

4) There is a clear end pointThere is a clear stopping point with most procrastivity tasks at the job is completed and off the to-do list. This fact comes with a visceral sense of satisfaction of task completion, even with chores and other administrative matters. This positive feeling is underestimated despite the fact that procrastivity tasks are not the most existentially fulfilling matters. It feels good to get things done. And due to the vagaries and uncertainties inherent in many priority tasks, it is difficult to determine an exact end point that one is confident can be reached.

Even in cases of a clear deadline, such as for homework or taxes, there is uncertainty about how much progress will be made during the time spent on the priority task, which opens the door for escape to a task with greater certainty. In fact, many people are willing to devote more time and energy to a procrastivity task than to the priority task because the certainty of the outcome is more desirable to one’s sense of efficacy, the belief that one can do it. Thus, two hours of yard work is preferable to 45 minutes working on taxes.

Uncertainty About Progress Makes Us Run For The Door

The puzzle of procrastinating via procrastivity, of avoiding tasks via avoided tasks, and the characteristics of procrastivity tasks that can perhaps help us turn procrastination against itself.

problemsolving

Problem Solving

Procrastivity (a.k.a. Sneaky Avoidance)

Make your eating time a ‘no screentime’. Similarly, make your dining table a ‘no-screen zone’. Instead of looking at your phone, feel the sensation of your food i.e. the taste and smell of your food.Put the phones away and enjoy conversing with your family members.

1. Using Your Phone While Eating

Challenge yourself to go on a walk every day. Do this without music. Observe, feel, smell, and simply be in Nature for this time.Go to a park, lie in the sun and take a nap. Watch a sunrise or sunset. Sit outside and watch the clouds go by.

2. Not Spending Time in Nature

Time to kill your television. Television makes you dumb, and books make you smart.Move your television out of your bedroom. Cancel your Netflix subscription.

3. Watching Too Much Television

Make a sleeping schedule and stick to it. Hang that schedule in your bedroom. If you use your mobile late at night, switch it off when it’s time to sleep.

4. Oversleeping and Undersleeping

Nobody is asking you to wake up at 4 am. But wake up early enough to hear the birds chirping and the sun rising.Pray. Meditate. Plan your day. Take a walk. Fill your lungs with the fresh air of the morning.

5. Not Waking Up Early

Get your heart rate up. Lift weights. Exercise at least 4 times a week, even if it’s just ten minutes. Start small and then gradually increase the intensity.If you can’t afford a gym membership, do home workouts. You can find many tutorials on this topic on YouTube.

6. Not Exercising

Make a budget and stick to it. Cancel any unused gym memberships. Also, cancel online subscriptions to the services you longer use.Pay yourself first. Save 10% of what you earn. Start a side hustle on the weekend.

7. Overspending

Learning doesn't end when you graduate. It is a lifelong process.Read books. Watch videos. Enroll in online courses. Pick up a new hobby.

8. Not Learning Something New

Set screentime limits on your computer and mobile. Install apps that track the amount of time you spend on your devices. At the end of the day look at your total time. See where you could trim back and fill in the time with other activities.I installed a screentime app on my phone and it helped me reduce my screentime from 7–8 hours to 3–4 hours.Reserve 2 hours of ‘no-screen time’ every day. In those 2 hours, go to a peaceful place — in your home, or somewhere outside, and sit silently.

9. Spending Too Much Time In Front Of A screen

Start your day making your bed. By making your bed, you will be completing the first task of the day.For more on this topic read this book by Admiral William H. McRaven: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Make-Your-Bed-Little-Things/dp/1455570249">Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life…And Maybe the World</a>

Habits To Quit In 2022

Making a to-do list is an old yet effective way to manage time and be more productive. Pretty much everybody makes to-do lists nowadays. However, just making to-do lists isn’t going to help you, unless you avoid these pitfalls:Assigning too many tasks: It’s better to write the three most important items you want to accomplish that day.Make a to-do list in the morning: Don’t waste your morning energy on thinking ‘what I should do today?’. Instead, writing down your to-dos in the evening is much better.

1. Making Ineffective To-Do Lists:

2. Not Prioritizing:When you have a pile of tasks on your hands, and you don’t prioritize them, you will surely accomplish some of your tasks by the evening .However, by the end of the day, you will realize that although you did accomplish some simple tasks like replying to a client's email. But in the thick of these trivial tasks, you missed some urgent and important ones e.g. a deadline.That’s why it is necessary to prioritize your tasks in the order of their importance. So your most important tasks don’t get buried under the unimportant ones. Moreover, eliminate some unnecessary tasks altog<warningtag>ether</warningtag>

2. Not Prioritizing:

In this day and age of digital technologies, multitasking has become a default habit. But focusing on a single task is a much better approach than switching between the tasks. Because, if you multitask, what you will get by the end of the day, is a few partially completed tasks.When you constantly shift from one task to another, you are more prone to making mistakes. Moreover, multitasking slows you down because you are focusing on many tasks at a time.It is better to be a single-tasker than to be a multi-tasker.

3. Multitasking:

Social media is good for networking, and email is good for business. But we all know that constant checking of social media and emails throughout the day becomes a great distraction.When you are working on a difficult task, scrolling Twitter seems to be the perfect 5-minute break. But this 5-minute break soon turns into a 30-minute of doom-scroll. After which, you not only have wasted 30 minutes but also the motivation and energy to complete your task.The best approach is to schedule 20-minute time blocks for using social media and email, maybe twice or thrice a day.

4 . Checking Social Media & Email Through Out The Day:

4 Common Mistakes That Ruin Your Productivity

We are told that if we do not have an ambition in our life, we our missing the most important thing in our life, which is opportunity.Many of us don't understand ambition; those who do are thriving and those who believed they understand it but didn't struggle in their life.

<ol><li>Your ambition is not equal to your desires.- A desire could be earning a million dollars, but an ambition cannot be equal to your desire because desire is just a milestone, it doesn't make you happy. Your ambition should be such that your desires become a by-product of it. Like becoming a wealthy person and being independent could be your ambition and it will make your desire achieved.</li><li>Your ambition will change.- As you age, you realize this that your ambition is bound to change. Those who think its rigid, lead a painful life. If you are young, you must know that your ambition will change.</li></ol>

Understanding Your Ambition

3  Your ambition needs to match the opportunities that you sit on.- If your ambition does not match your availed opportunities then it is the opportunities that need to be worked upon, not your ambition. You set your mechanism to set opportunities in our life. The best thing you can do for your life is to create an opportunity engine. You must route your wanted opportunities to yourself.

I wanted to talk about something we are told we should all have our lives: ambition. While there's a lot of talk about it, but we don't truly understand it or how it works through the ages. It's often pegged to something false or not very foundational.
