The Productivity Science

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science There is a blessing in the morning routine, early wake-up, doing breakfast, and starting off with the most important work. Nature runs its clock between the sunrise and its fall. It is also the most productive time a human can ever have. When someone starts off the day with morning, 99% chances are that everything will go well. Remember, the start of the day with a positive attitude is important. Remind yourself that you are the most important biological creature on this earth and you have a purpose to serve. Start with light work in the morning such as reading a newspaper. It will set your tone for the rest of day because you’re signaling your mind that if you can accomplish this little act, you can do anything for the rest of your day. Morning is precious time. Be careful and divide your day from important to less important things. As the day goes by, so does your potential. Make sure that by the end of your day you have accomplished remark...

 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 1 st January 2022 like you were busy doing on 31 st 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 t...

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science Let’s be clear, the word failure has various connotations, mostly sort of horror. Everyone has faced failure regardless of the intensity of the failure that happened to any person. It is a real phenomenon. Despite all the beliefs, failure is not a problem because it provides us the opportunity to learn and improvise. However, there are some moments when we overthink the failure, and end up becoming the victim of depression. It is not a good thing to happen to any person on this planet. Thomas Edison tried 999 different techniques to create a light-bulb and failed. It was after 999 trials that he got real success in the 1000 th trial. These 999 techniques were not a failure; these were the lessons to not quit and look for something new, something greater. After success at the 1000 th time, Edison learned that 999 techniques were not useful and nobody should apply those ever. The world might not have discovered the light that earlier in time ...

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science Over time we have built our consciousness through decisions and facing lots of troubles in life. Some people give up before their destiny, and others continue their journey despite all these troubles. The former chooses not to put extra effort because he thinks it’s already chosen for him, and the latter decides to not stop there because there is more he can do than simply give up. These are two different sorts of mindsets and we all know which mindset will find success. Surprisingly, these beliefs could be found in a single person’s brain at the same time. It is absolutely possible. Before we jump to the conclusion about why it happens, let’s discuss the science behind the choice of these two specific mindsets. The most important term in this field of mindset is Neuroplasticity. The main function of neuroplasticity or brain plasticity is to give permission to the neurons to change their activity or momentum based on the input of intrinsic or...

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science From being a goofy man to certainly someone who wants to know the meaning of the Universe’s pattern, it has been a hell-long journey to discover the true meaning of life. Divinely indulged into the ignorance of known and what could be a better excuse to frame that I didn’t intend to find beyond what’s yet to be known – the unknown. The superstitious belief in the nature of miracle to come for my rescue as being lazy ass couldn’t find the courage to fight back the struggles. That’s what the dark side of life looks like, drowsy and abnormal. The year of 2021 ends in about 16 days. I have spent 23 years of life on this planet. There are a few things that this long life has taught me, and I want to break that experience down to reinforce the good habits I have inculcated in this life, and rid of the ones that don’t add value to this life. In the title, I have mentioned the term lesson, but in reality, the lesson is a big claim. Therefore, I have ...

 Waqar Ahmed |  The Atomic Habits by James Clear This is one of the most fascinating chapters in the book “The Atomic Habits” by James Clear.  The central thesis of this chapter is divided into two points: Atomic Habits have a huge impact on human life Real success comes from focusing on the process instead of the goals Let’s discuss each point in separate paragraphs: Small habits might not have a large-scale impact on one’s life but surely they must not be underestimated. When small habits compound together, they create a huge difference in life. You cannot learn any subject at once; there are lots of topics that need equal attention in order to become an expert in the subject. Those small topics might not have little importance for you, but when combined together - they create a massive river of knowledge about the subject.   “When we repeat 1 percent errors, day after day, by replacing poor decisions, duplicating tiny mistakes, and rationalizing little excus...

 Waqar Ahmed | Blogger Let there be some light in the darkness. May there be some sane minds and open-minded brains. Flowers no doubt leave an unforgettable impact on the heart – a similar thing happens when someone falls in love. Man, no matter how cruel, still would want to have a peaceful sleep. That shows that we can’t be separated from nature’s true calling for harmony.  The understanding of meaning in life is important as it liberates one’s mind from doubts and disbeliefs. The chamber of thoughts and decision-making process is an integral part of an individual’s sovereignty. And sovereignty needs to be protected from all possible threats especially from the deviant grasp. The guardians of sovereignty are thoughts, perception, and willingness to understand and adapt. If any of these guardians fail to fulfill their duty, the sovereignty of the individual will be compromised. New information consumption needs to be analyzed based on morality and shared values. One needs t...
