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...

What is a Wasteman Loop & How to avoid it?

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science What is a wasteman Loop? For the past few days, I have been doing a lot of social media surfacing without realizing the effects of it on my productive life. I was so indulged in social media scrolling, liking, and sharing weird cat posts that I never realized I was wasting more than 4 hours per day of my precious life. Being into some business where there is no return value or profit is what I call a wasteman loop. Every once in a while I return to this wasteman life and I have to push myself again to keep focused on the main objectives in life. This on and off productivity is what I call the loop. I’m constantly worried about two things to happen in my life, first, when I start wasting my time on social media or any other stuff that adds zero value to my life, second, the continuous fight with consistency to not return to wasteman life and still end up becoming the wasteman I loathe. How does it affect your productivity? Being a wasteman has...

5 Important things to keep reminding yourself about

 Waqar Ahmed | Blogger Mindset Thinking Habit Distractions Success MINDSET “Proper thinking before the execution is very important. One’s hard work won’t effectively bring remarkable change unless there is positive intention involved. Muhammad Ali is the greatest and the whole world accepted it, not because of his solemn words but his determination to preach what he said. It’s called the right mindset. Follow Muhammad Ali’s formula to be the greatest. ” THINKING “One needs to focus on inside and introspect the quality of thoughts in it. Human actions always resonate with thoughts whether positive or negative. The neurons won’t help in achieving the greatness unless we help those neurons connect through a positive attitude.” “If one wants to think great then one must focus on creating an environment that allows for the free speech and respect for the opposing views.” HABIT “It is a result of actions we often do on repeat.
