Secrete to a Productive Life

Waqar Ahmed | CEO Science of Everything
Why is it hard to become productive


You are never too late to start again from the scratch. There is always a way out towards the right path. But before we find a true path, we must acknowledge there’s nothing wrong with being wrong and mistaken. Every human has its weaknesses and strengths. Being creative does not mean always correct. Being old does not mean being mature. There is always the other side of the story. What is your story in life?

Do you want to become productive in life? Are you struggling to complete your assignments within the due date? Are you a social media addict? Do you think you are wasting time on social media scrolling down the screen all day long?

Welcome on board

We all have been that person who senselessly wastes time. Being lazy nerds!

For most of the millennials and Z Gen, the issues start off with social media. They have grown up in the time of Internet social media, selfies, and WhatsApp all around. Nowadays it's crypto and NFTs everywhere. It’s confusing but also rewarding. The trouble in this overly exposed information climate is to balance life.

Every day we wake up asking ourselves many questions ourselves. Why didn’t I wake up at 7: 00 am? It’s only 10 minutes left before my classes start.

What should I do, breakfast or dress up and run for the class? Oh, I didn’t finish my school assignment last night, I was hanging out with friends and I don’t think I will get any time in school to finish writing up.

I didn’t fill the gas into my car last night and now I’m already running short of office time. How would I manage that?

Life is a gift and we must not spoil it.

Productive life is the aspiration of almost 7.7 billion people on this earth. But reading others' success stories is way easier than putting ourselves into their shoes and realizing how hard it is to reach that level. Productivity means pushing yourself one minute more than you had planned. And this process plays in black and white. 

While you are going through the struggles, there’s no colorful painting on the wall and background music of Harry Potter or even a nice girl waiting on the door for you to finish the work to meet her. Work is always exhausting because it consumes energy.

So here is the true test. What should you do to continue your struggle in the right direction?

How do you maintain your personal life and achieve accomplishments in life goals?

For me, the true sense of accomplishment is the completion of a job. The motivation is the possible outcome of the work that I have just finished. And it is not the motivation that pushes me to start working. There is a huge difference in this.

Motivation is the reason I start doing the work, instead, I feel motivated once I have finished my work.

What is your productive life SOPS? How do you keep yourself motivated during the process and take it to the other side of the bridge? Comment your thoughts.

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...
