This is how you start anything


When we think about success, we think about money, Lamborghini, a mansion with an indoor swimming pool, popularity, and recognition, just to name a few. Every human dream and wants to achieve something meaningful in his life. No one wants to be left behind. But unfortunately, many don’t make it to their dream mansion ever.

Remember, you have the same 24 hours as Elon Musk.

Failure is detrimental when it can’t be your teacher. To avoid chances of getting failed, I present to you 7 proven tips that will help you get started with a productive life:

Start with simple

Morning is the best time to begin your work. It is also the time when you either feel motivated or not. Take a simple task that is easier to finish. Psychology says, when you have accomplished your first target as small as making the bed, you will experience your remaining day as most productive.

You can also have other small tasks as you start your day:

  • Read a single page from your routine book.
  • Clean your table and chair before you sit on it.
  • Read a single important article from any e-newspaper.
Jump to the main work of the day

Right after you finished your first job, start working on your main target. Don’t waste your energy on other less important things. Once you accomplished your main target, the whole day will become joyful.

Focus on the process, not the outcome

The process is exhausting. It consumes the most energy and time. Let’s not think about the end result, instead focus on the process. The process is linked to the practice. Practice is an action. Action creates habit. The habit of doing practice gets you closer to achieving your set targets proactively. It also minimizes the chances to fall prey to procrastination or feeling lethargic.

“The practice will open the door to the change you seek to make.” – Seth Godin

Start loving your real work

No one is born creative. It’s when we learn, we understand the meaning of what we like. So, don’t waste your time thinking there’s anything you can’t do. If you want to accomplish something, take it seriously. Love the work you want to achieve. If an opportunity comes in, avail it without thinking, it might not be your cup of tea.

In his book The Practice ‘Shipping Creative Work,’ Seth Godin writes

  • “Do what you love” is for amateurs.
  • “Love what you do” is the mantra for professionals.

Don’t lay down, get back to work

It’s hard to begin. But it’s not that hard to begin. Always value your time in cash. If your 10 minutes is worth $1, it means your 1 hour is worth $6. One day, 24 hours’ worth about $144. When you make your mind to evaluating your day in cash, you can easily calculate how much you have earned and how much you lost in a single day.

Write down your thoughts

The human mind is designed to make new ideas and not to hold them inside. If you can’t write them down, you are most probably going to lose those ideas. Make it your habit, write down every idea you get into your head.

Writers write. Runners Run. Establish your identity by doing your work!

Done!

Always get inspiration from the feeling of getting things done. When you finish your work, it gives you a reason to feel proud. The joy of finishing your job on time is a little form of reward you get very often. Get inspired by the 'done’ button. Always end your day feeling you have done your job.

Steal like an artist by Austin Kleon

  Book Cover (Source: Tapan Desai) Summary (informal) Everyone wants to become something in his life.  There’s no single formula to achieve one’s desired destination.  In this rapidly changing information climate, everything has become more competitive and less rewarding for those who do not pay more attention to details.  It is healthy to settle one’s mind to steal ideas productively from those who have experimented with them successfully.  There’s no harm in stealing ideas as there’s nothing as new to the world today given the scale of information exchange around the globe due to the Internet.  Since everything is already available on Google, one must go there and copy from authentic sources.  Make changes in it and sell it to the world. While you are working on the project, keep an eye on wrongs that might discredit the efforts.  Copying from a single person is plagiarism, but doing the same thing from more than one is research.  A good ar...

Why reading books is important?

There can be various aspects to this question. However, I will stick to a few points to convey to your mind why reading is an important exercise. Human is social being and to understand the world we need to learn new information constantly.  The learning must be slow and fast. No one can learn all the information available out there at once. For Humans to learn and that too authentic, a companion/teacher is required. Books can be trustworthy teachers in our lives. As we know, the human brain is a unique engineering tool. We can see things and make a judgment about them. We can hear the voice and make a particular opinion about it. We can walk on the ground and make an analogy of how it’s different from other parts of the world. We continuously improvise our ideas as we get updated information passing through our heads. This trait is unique and makes us better than Chimpanzee. Our minds require a continuous flow of information, and this information can be about anything, even the co...

7 lessons I learned from the Al Chemist

Lesson #1:- Humans are tested with calamities and challenges to build a stronger intellectual ground where they can protect their lives and become able to create a better world for future generations.  Those who risked their lives and followed their dreams, they have got the victory. And those who did not risk, and played it safe,  merely stopped where they needed to start. Lesson #2:- Santiago in the search of his legend (true inner self) encountered challenges and a few close calls to death. In the search for treasure, he fearlessly bids on his life by selling his sheep to an old King joins a crystal shop in an unknown part of Africa, and finally embarks on the longest journey towards the Pyramids of Egypt.  His passion to find the unknown treasure based on his audacious belief in omens led him to overpower all the negative forces that could have stopped him from achieving his legend. Quote “If you believe in yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, t...
