We waste hours in trying to save minutes!

There is profound truth in this statement. Just stamp those words on your mental blackboard ‘coz you’ll need it when you realize how often you waste your time. Not because its leisure time. But because its that time you tag as ‘Work’ and it neither gets utilized as work time nor savored as leisure time.

Maybe its just me or perhaps its exists in many but people have a fetish with ‘perfect’ clock time too. They’ll start working/studying/analyzing whatever at sharp 11:00. Or 3:30. But if its a few minutes past that time, they’ll say ‘Oh! I’ll start half-an-hour later’. Or ‘There is so much time till tomorrow. Let me just move around for sometime’.

Hmm.. Just a starting thought for you

You sit slumped thinking ‘just few more minutes’. If this is something you regularly do, its time to ask yourself ‘Am I a procrastinator?’ Loosely defined, it is someone who postpones doing things. Its just a habit, a rut you’ve formed which you need to become aware and get out of.

The best description ever!

Solutions? To start with I have just one statement ‘Fake it till you make it’. If you know there’s work to do, there are things to complete, exams to study for – imagine yourself completely immersed in them and enjoying it. Just think how great it’d feel to know that a) You can’t fail b) You are great at what you are doing and c) Its gonna get done in time.

And with these powerful thoughts focus on the task at hand. Think, feel and walk as if it is gonna get done in the best way possible – by your hands, by your brains. And get going!
