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...

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...
