DECODING PRODUCTIVITY – PART # 9 : MIND PRODUCTIVITY BLOCKER – MULTI TASKING

Multi tasking is good or bad?. Long back one of my manager told me that I am very good at multi tasking. I thought it was praise and it was. But it won’t be a praise any more once you really understand what is the problem with multi tasking. Just to be clear I am not talking about Multiple Roles we play in our life, which is fine as long as when you play one at a time. What happens when you multi task? You focus on multiple of tasks/things at a time. Wrong..Your brain cannot focus on

DECODING PRODUCTIVITY – PART # 8 : MIND PRODUCTIVITY BLOCKER – NEGATIVE EMOTIONS

What is the most commonly heard word nowadays? ..Very easy ..STRESS.. When people refer to STRESS it is an umbrella of negative emotions. Some people can’t even name the exact negative emotion underneath it. It could be fear ( of any kind), competition, ego hurt, worry, etc. What happens when you experience any negative emotion? Would you be able to focus on your pursuit? Forget focusing ..you will go down psychologically and physically ( some times). But the trick here is you are

DECODING PRODUCTIVITY – PART # 7 : MIND PRODUCTIVITY BLOCKER – LOW SELF ESTEEM

In the last blog, we have discussed about the about the key BLOCKERS & BOOSTERS of Mind Productivity.  Today, lets start with the BLOCKERS of Mind Productivity. First and most important one is LOW SELF ESTEEM. Are you thinking of how LOW SELF ESTEEM is linked with Mind Productivity?. It is very much linked. Let me explain it. You must first understand what LOW SELF ESTEEM means. I had written about LOW SELF ESTEEM earlier under a different series. Read about  it  =>

DECODING PRODUCTIVITY – PART #6 : MIND PRODUCTIVITY BLOCKERS & BOOSTERS

Mind itself is a very complex entity. In fact, all other productivities – strength productivity, task productivity and including life productivity are very tightly linked with Mind productivity. We can have lot more BOOSTERS and BLOCKERS. To simplify and make it effective, I have considered 4 main BOOSTERS and BLOCKERS. We will go through each of the BOOSTERS and BLOCKERS in the subsequent blogs. Hopefully ,the picture  is self explanatory in terms of which are BOOSTERS vs BLOCKERS.

DECODING PRODUCTIVITY – PART #5 : MIND PRODUCTIVITY INTRODUCTION

Let me first start with my own simple definition of “MIND PRODUCTIVITY” .  Mind Productivity simply means how effectively your mind is focused on whatever is at hand. As discussed in the last blog, human brain ( I am interchangeably using mind and brain here even though both are different) generates thousands of thoughts every day. Because of this our minds constantly cluttered with the thoughts. On top of it, some where read recently, our brain is bombarded with 7 times MORE

DECODING PRODUCTIVITY – PART #4 : PRODUCTIVITY 4.0

Human brain generates any where between 50,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Some people debate on this number. Whatever may be the number, we do know that our mind is full of thoughts. Unfortunately, most of these thoughts are same repetitive thoughts from yesterday and even more unfortunately, most of these thoughts would be negative thoughts, for most people.  So, if our mind is thinking this much unproductive then this will be surely one of the biggest productivity loss. And hence MIND

DECODING PRODUCTIVITY – PART #2 : PRODUCTIVITY PYRAMID

  Without further explanation or dragging, let me take you into the crux of the topic. Based on all my understanding and observations I came up with this PYRAMID. For me, this concept solves the puzzle of whole productivity. I always felt that TASK based PRODUCTIVITY is INCOMPLETE. I did not knew the answer earlier. And at the same time all the Philosophers & Spiritual leaders talks about some what related to LIFE PRODUCTIVITY. Unfortunate thing is when someone is talking about

DECODING PRODUCTIVITY – PART #1 : INTRODUCTION

In todays busy world, we often hear the words like “stressed out”, “overwhelmed” , “too many things to do”, “exhausted”, ” getting worry/anxious”,  “under achievement” …etc list goes on..I some how think all these are indirectly kind of synonym for one thing ..that is  = > “NOT PRODUCTIVE ENOUGH”.  Most of us are dealing with this problem.

1st Blogging Anniversary

This is very interesting anniversary I am celebrating ;). Last year exactly same time – May 1st 2017– on a good lazy day, I casually said I will do daily blogging. I never wrote much prior to this. Thanks to Seth Godin. He says one must do daily blogging by sharing their thoughts, ideas, etc. Based on his inspiration I just started as an experiment. Fast forward one year. Here I am.

Life Productivity – Part # 11 : BOOSTER – Living in-line with Nature

This not about Living in the Nature. It is about how close can you operate your life in-line with the natural laws. This is applicable to every thing. Just take the  example of health. If you practice the basic fundamentals of health that comes from nature then you will be more healthier. With the short pleasures we go out of this and nature will punish with the exact amount of imbalance you have created for your health. Same thing is applicable if you apply in wealth.

Life Productivity – Part # 10 : BOOSTER – Living Beyond Yourself

The 2nd BOOSTER we talked about was – Purpose. Purpose can be small or big. It can be as simple as living happily by yourself or live the entire life for 2-3 family members or it can be making huge impact to the state/country/world through whatever pursuits you take up. Most leadership and spiritual literature talk about contributing beyond yourself etc. “Changing the World” or “Impacting People Lives” is the new slogan of purposeful life. How  “Living

Life Productivity – Part # 9 : BOOSTER – Purpose

We talked about the first BOOSTER – Happiness. I intentionally chose this as really the most important one because after all the so called success/achievement if there is no happiness then there is no fun. Very interestingly, there are few lucky Buddha souls who are generally happy irrespective of achievements or any possessions. But for most people Happiness is a big deal. Now lets talk about the 2nd Booster – Purpose. What the hell is this Purpose?. It is simply knowing what

Based on my interactions with lot of “Big” & “Successful” guys and observations, I am very much convinced that Happiness is becoming (became) very precious thing now a days.

Everybody has different types of body makeup. Some have inborn high energy levels while others have sluggish energy levels. Some have high IQ levels and others may have low levels. Some follow good nutrition which fuels energy and others get addicted to carbs and sugars. The list goes on. In summary, I am referring Biology

Life Productivity – Part # 6 : BLOCKER – Patterns & Behaviours

While dis empowering beliefs,  negative emotions and wrong goals can drag the life productivity significantly, our patterns and behaviours can be more damaging. Most often we would not be self aware about our patterns. What are patterns? How we get those patterns?. Patterns are simply automatic behaviours. Like the we brush, drive, etc  most of these patterns happens very automatically. Most deep rooted patterns are adopted from the childhood through parents and environment. I am sure you

How did you set most of your goals?. You are the most lucky person if you have chosen your goals and decisions based on your own will. I think many people (not all) set important goals and take decisions based on – parents influence, social expectations or most often you want to be better than some one else or you want to “prove” the world that you are good enough. How will we know which ones are wrong goals?. Very simple answer – Any thing you regret later.  Can you

The second biggest BLOCKER in life is Negative Emotions.
