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.

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...

This is why evidence in conversation matters?

  Here are a few big question marks? Why should one believe in storytelling when there’s little space for the question? Is it reliable what you're listening to? What is the truth? What makes a person qualified for any opinion? “The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.” – Carl Sagan The human thinking pattern relies on storytelling. As Yuval Noah Harari in his book “Sapiens” calls humans the social beings with close proximity to story beings. Humans communicate with each other through storytelling. It is an easier and more fun method to continue the conversation for a longer time. Sometimes, stories get to a certain level where the fine line between truth and false gets thinner. It becomes a hell sort of challenge to distinguish the words as true or false especially when it’s coming out of a person close to one in relations. Most of us grew up in an environment where many people could express their thoughts without any fear of being questioned. Age was considered ...

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...
