What's the actual time required to do anything?

 


The great thing I learnt today is that the amount of time required to do something is way less than the time we think it might take. Well lets decode the above statement with an example. Yesterday I had few dishes lying in the sink. I kept think about it the entire day. Along with this there where other errands like fixing phone holder from a mechanic on my 2 wheeler, getting fruits, getting rid of waste in the bin, studying and solving a specific topic.. Now all these thing kept clouding my head and gave me an illusion that I have lots of work to do. I kept postponing. Today I decided enough is enough and just listed down what's in my head and finished everything one by one so that those thoughts leave my head.

The actual time taken to get rid of the waste was 5mins, buying fruits was 30mins, mechanic thing took 15mins, doing dishes took 10mins. The total here is around max of 1hr. But I kept thinking abt this for 3 days which reduced my ability to concentrate on studies. After getting these out of my head I was able to peacefully do my office work and studies. 

So here's the thing. The amount of work expands with time. This might sound crazy but is true. Every work takes the exact amount of time we spend doing it. Example: If we have to submit an assignment in 2 weeks then it takes 2 weeks. If the deadline is 1 month away we take 1 month to get it done. Moreover if we don't have deadline for anything it can dangerously occupy our lifespan. That's true. If we keep thinking we will start business one day or start a blog one day or start your own store one day and keep waiting for the right time that time might never come. So if anything crosses ur mind and you think that is necessary then do it asap. Start Now!!!

I switched my work organization😉

First of all thank you for coming here to read my blogs. I haven't posted for a long time now and believe I will be more consistent going forward.  I joined a new organization 2 days back and it feels like the best decision I have taken in a while. I believe we must all keep looking for growth in all aspects of life. Be it career or health or emotional growth. Sometimes you get stuck in a loop of doing things and no matter how much you work hard you are never appreciated or more problems arise. A similar situation happened to me in life where I felt no amount of work is getting me out of this loop.  I had some really crappy work surrounded by tough people to handle. When I decided to switch my job for monetary and other reasons it was very hard to get any interview calls.  The key here is to keep believing. I never believed because market is bad and stuff but my husband kept constantly applying to jobs on my behalf. I had some mental breakdowns due to the work wherein I h...

An incident at the gym 💪💪

 Hi to whoever reading this blog sorry that I was missing for a while. You know caught up in work and blah and blah but these are just reasons as I was lazy to write this blog. I suddenly felt I have nothing to share here. But got my senses back so lets jump to the story😁 As I was hitting the gym the other day I saw this tremendous looking girl who had well built muscles better than any girl I have ever seen at the gym before. She looked something like below pic. You can tell by the look of it she has been working really hard to be that healthy and how consistent she must have been to have built that great physique. Whenever she walks into the gym you can feel everyone noticing her because of the great physique she has out of respect and admiration because gym ppl know how difficult it is to build muscles of that stature. Me and my husband while hanging out with one of this friends talked about this and he his friend asked me why dint I go and tell her she looked great. He said sh...

Dealing with Anger😈

Being angry is something that I do most of the time especially on my family because I never react at work or anywhere else as much as I feel free to do it at home. The main victim of my anger is my younger sister. It’s also true that she irritates me most of the time but she is kind of curious of things I do and tries to lookout to me to help her and I just scream and send her away. We also tend to do it with our mom’s more frequently. She asks us if we had lunch or dinner and we end up screaming at her asking her not to disturb because we are too busy in something which might not be that important than eating on time. Always think for a minute before you scream or be rude to someone because it’s not their fault to come and talk to you so that you show your frustration on them. Relax and enjoy things while doing them because having a cool mind gets the best out of you in any situation rather than a panicking person.
