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.

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...
