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!!!

Importance of having your own space

This is a taboo topic in India. I stayed with my parents till 12th grade. Then I moved to college for the next 4 years. Even while I was in college I wasn't practically alone because I had room mates and the same thing happened after I joined work as I stayed in working women's hostel. Then covid happened and I got married during covid and moved to his parents place. Our own space there was our room. Then 10 months later we shifted to Bangalore for study and work reasons and it was the first time in my life that I got an entire space to myself. My husband got his own space inside his college (A single room). While I stayed with my parents my job was to just take care of myself, eat and study. When I moved to hostel I had to tackle my laundry as well. Same happened in working women's hostel but extra responsibility was to pay my rent, tackle my finances and travel. Cooking became an extra part of our schedules wherein we make dishes occasionally. Each and every step of this ...

Clothing lessons I learnt💃

Growing up my parents used to buy clothing only 3-4 times a year mainly during festive seasons or sometimes when they needed any piece of clothing. They dint have television nor internet so they as consumers had the freedom to decide and mindfully buy the stuff they need only when they need it unlike our generation. Here we turn our tv on or any social media platform it bombards us with lot of products which dint exist in the previous era and we are tricked into believe that these are essentials. There is some sale or offer going on every other day on the online shopping platforms. We have piled up our closets with skin care, hair care products, slippers, clothes, bags, home essentials etc.. Im also guilty of piling my closet up. So here are the clothing lessons I learnt: 1. Don't buy a new skin care or hair care product unless the previous one is over. 2. Invest in quality over quantity. Im not that kind of person who looks into brands while I purchase stuff. If something feels...

Stop overthinking and Do it

Hello Everyone. We always wanted to grow up and become adults while we were kids but now everyday we wish we were back to being kids once again enjoying the simple life except preparing for exams and the homework;). The best part about being a kid is the energy each one of us spread literally lighting up the room as soon as we enter. We used to bring smile on everyone’s face. Hopping around everywhere, sometimes falling down is also okay because I fell from the first floor of my grandma’s home when I tried to pick fruits from a tree. Don’t panic I survived :P. I know that was dangerous but it was a learning process which helped me calculate the distance of the tree next time. Somewhere as we grew older we tend to loose the amazing energy and courage we had as kids and are often thinking about others opinions about us and on the work we do. We are scared and are often a pessimist even before starting the things we want to do. So whatever you want to do just start and ...
