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.

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...
