Welcome 2022 with these Five new Habits

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science

Time flies like a storm. In two weeks we would be bidding farewell to 2021. To be honest, there is no special feeling about the change of the year. It would be just another day in the life. You probably would be doing the same work on 1st January 2022 like you were busy doing on 31st of December, 2021. 

Science suggests that having new goals and targets surely have an impact on life. Purpose gives reason to wake up earlier and start doing the work passionately. Jordan B. Peterson thinks that life without a formal schedule is a mess. You need to have proper planning in life. So if you missed doing any experiment with your life and want to improve productivity, this New Year's eve is the best chance to do it.

Following are the five habits you should immediately start working on as you enter New Year:

1. Read Books

No matter how voraciously you were reading books previously. Start again. Make a comprehensive list of the books you want to read in 2022. Pick your books for each month and make sure by the end of each month, you would finish at least a single book.

2. Learn a New Skill

What you have learned so far is no excuse to stop learning again something new. Select a new skill and dedicate a few hours of a single week to build that skill. It may sound boring at the moment, but believe me, when you achieve that skill, you would feel like a completely new human.

3. Invest your Time in friendship

Relationships are invaluable. No matter how busy you have got, make some time for your closed ones. Allow others to disturb you while you are busy working on some important projects. Those few minutes might give you a few extra points in your project, but you will end up losing on the biggest asset of human relationships. Make your friends feel valuable when they are around you.

4. Be kind to others without expecting anything in return

Kindness is about being nice to other lives on this planet. Make sure you enter in 2022 with this positive mindset that you want to help others without expecting anything in return. Believe me, after a few weeks you won’t even remember that you had helped someone, but your help might have changed someone’s life. So be willing t extend your help without looking for something in return. You will feel great about it.

5. Where do you want to be after one year in Life?

Make a clear target about a few things that you want to achieve in 2022. These goals are short-term and easily achievable. It could be a skill, travel to some new places, writing a story, or anything else. Make goals and act on them and also make a prediction about how achieving these goals would change your life by the end of the year. Set a clear target and start working on it.

Emily Elizabeth Dickenson: The greatest Poet

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all, - And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. - I’ve heard it in the chilliest land, And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me. In the thorns, we found strength and in flowers we found pain. That is the situation you caught in when you read the lines of Emily Dickenson. The finest poet of the 19 th century enlightened with the figments of death and immortality in her words. Emily is a great American poet and deserves to be known across the globe for her art. Her writing had brought her to a point where there was no fear to be afraid of. Not even her death. America at that time was facing some identity challenges as women were yet to be emancipated from their Kitchens and there were no vote ri...

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...

New Year's Gift - 2022

  Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science What would be a better gift than changing personal thoughts from being negative to a positive person? It is okay to be cynical, it allows us to vent out our anger, but that’s not the permanent solution to a Human’s mental frame. We need to have a peaceful mind to make better judgments about our own life for the long run. That’s why it is important to have some positive life aspects. Without positivity, it would not be an easier job to find the truth and make the right decisions. The reality of life is deeply connected with the nature of reality, and without any pursuit of truth, we cannot find reality in life. This year, let’s begin by making this resolution that, no matter what, I will always find something positive about everything. It will help get rid of the trash (useless thoughts) inside of our minds and make us a better version of ourselves.
