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.

INTRODUCTION What comes to your mind when you hear the. word ” Productivity”?. To do lists, tasks, on time projects, accomplishments, time management, etc…what comes to your mind?. There are thousands of the books, tools, frameworks and philosophies on this topic. Most of them deal with task efficiencies, time management, planners and prioritisation. While these are important these are only at surface level touching only 10% of the depth. How does it really matter how many tasks did you

We have looked at the importance of “Life Productivity” in the introduction article.  LIFE PRODUCTIVITY – PART #1 : INTRODUCTION. This is the most most important building block under “Productivity”. None of other types of productivity comes any closer to this. I have briefly categorised different “BLOCKERS” and “BOOSTERS” under Life Productivity. BLOCKERS: DIS EMPOWERING BELIEFS NEGATIVE EMOTIONS ACHIEVING WRONG GOALS PATTERNS & BEHAVIOURS

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. All the the shortcuts

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

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

We will discuss about some of the BOOSTERS for Life Productivity. These enhances overall Life Productivity.  The first BOOSTER that comes to mind is Happiness. 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. This why I think Happiness as # 1 BOOSTER …Let me explain. All human beings do things “to feel good”. Beggars to

We talked about dis-empowering beliefs, negative emotions, wrong goals and patterns under BLOCKERS. Will cover the last BLOCKER – INEFFICIENT BIOLOGY in this blog. 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

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

Lets start with some of the BLOCKERS of Life Productivity. BELIEFS are the foundational building blocks of human life. They will give you the meaning of the life, what is good vs what bad, etc. Your life happiness is direct correlation to how close you are living to your own beliefs/value system. You first need to understand how beliefs get formed. I have already written about this topic under “Building Blocks of Human Psychology” . Read this blog => Beliefs Formation . How

There are certain things which will make you move forward in your life and which will give you long term happiness and fulfilment, etc..What are these things? We will see what these are. These are called “Boosters”. At the same time there are many things which will drag you down in your life (real productivity killers), what I call these as ” Blockers”.  What kind of Booster and Blockers come to your mind? These are definitely NOT the superficial things. These are

What comes to your mind when you hear the. word ” Productivity”?. To do lists, tasks, on time projects, accomplishments, time management, etc…what comes to your mind?. There are thousands of the books, tools, frameworks and philosophies on this topic. Most of them deal with task efficiencies, time management, planners and prioritisation. While these are important these are only at surface level touching only 10% of the depth. How does it really matter how many tasks did

Instead of me giving the conclusion, you should give conclusion, if you have been reading this series. What is your conclusion? Is ADHD a disorder or  myth or creative mind or genius geek or mental/crack/rebel mind? What is your view? What did you understood?. If you have ADHD then you will feel all of the above at one point in life and may be even once a day. If not then you may have only one opinion – mostly as “disorder” or “very different” person. Here is

I am about to conclude this series…. I thought it will be helpful to share some useful reference information on this topic. I have read many book, searched tons of sites and listen to different podcasts and watched many youtube videos. Based on all my experience so far below are some best resources (as per my view). Best ADHD Books: There are many books on ADHD topic. I personally think there are two best books on this topic. I strongly recommend you read these books either for

I some times think nature is very brutal in design some aspects of life. This is the feeling most ADHD personalities will feel. Why?. One side they are gifted with lots of talent, creativity and other side lack of sustained focus and concentration. End result is often very frustrating. Because they could not produce the end product at the level of quality and on time, etc. This is not a one time affair and this is a constant theme through out the life unless you have a strategy to break

One of the origin theory about ADHD says lack of love results in ADHD. Whether this is true or not, most ADHD people are sensitive in nature and good hearted. But the problem comes with Dopamine. Here is what happens when ADHD person starts a new relationship. At first relationship looks and feels very exciting because of new dopamine. Once the initial dopamine tapers off then you start getting bored. Then keep moving to some other relationship. This loop continues. Obviously, this may not

As I mentioned in the previous blog = > Dopamine =GOD, low Dopamine is the root of ADHD and Dopamine filling will create life and happiness for people with ADHD personalities. And in contrast, people with enough Dopamine and Serotonin often live in a somewhat happy (alternate names – Slow, self contended, etc !!) space. These are the people who are generally happy not necessarily driven. You may not see much breakthrough innovations from these kind of people. Actually they are

Most ADHD people struggle with their careers. Not because they are not talented. In fact they are so talented that they can’t fit into regular 9 to 5 setups. Especially they will be breathless if they have to work under rigid corporate structures. What drives these personalities is FREEDOM !!. Period. How Freedom is linked to ADHD?. I think there is a big link between these two. ADHD type people are typically very creative type (not art type as such). They are outside box thinkers,

Do you know anyone who is an alcohol addict? What about someone who lost their entire wealth in gambling? Why is that person you know eats lot of food (food lover !!) ?. You know why lot of celebrities and rock stars take excessive drugs?.  – What do we call all these kind of people in general? – Bad People/Addicts, etc? Hmm.. Now lets look at complete opposite spectrum of people. The guy who eats good food, exercises regularly and  meditates every day, etc.  And the person whom

If you are following this series from the beginning then it should be fine. Otherwise, you might be thinking one side we are saying this has lot of challenges and other side I am saying this is a gift, genius, etc. Unfortunately, both are true !!. As I said earlier, ADHD is a “Rose with the Thorns”. So how do we eliminate thorns (challenges)  and get to the rose (gifts)? . The main magic pill for this is “Dopamine Management“. I have put together a simple

I am making one more attempt to prove that ADHD is not a disease or disorder. In the last blog, I have given a small list of creative genius who is having ADHD personality (it is almost a must).  May be you got convinced or may be not. So giving another shot. There is one theory called “Hunter Gatherer” theory. This theory says . – “Humans were nomadic hunter-gatherers for thousands of years, but as people started farming and living settled lives other personality
