The Quickest Way In Getting Things Accomplished
Have too many things on your plate? Unable to finish any of them?
Welcome to my world. I have so many things to do. Other than this blog, I have 4 more blogs that I maintain – not so successfully. I just don’t have the time to manage 5 blogs and put the time at work.
All that slowly begun to stop when I started to BE IN THE MOMENT.
Be in the moment simply implies that you concentrate fully on what you’re doing at this precise moment.
This is painful. I am warning you. I was the type that was thinking of the next thing to do, while doing something else. And all these led to half hearted or sloppy work. And this was affecting my life, both work and in my life.
I wanted everything. I wanted to be the best in everything and I anted to do everything.
But I couldn’t.
It took me 30 years to realize this.
Great men became great when they FOCUSED on ONLY ONE THING AT A TIME.
I refused to accept this fact for many years because I wanted to be the best in everything. I don’t know what made me change but I think I just got fed up of being mediocre. I wanted to become good in something.
I remember sitting in my office cubicle, after everyone has gone home and wondered why I just made the biggest screw up in my work. I was careless. Lack of sleep the night before, not from great sex, but from burning the midnight oil trying to learn one more API.
Enough was enough.
Now I have resigned to the fact that if I want to be good, I must focus on on thing and only one. And the quickest way to make up for lost time was to BE IN THE MOMENT.
To all you young ones, don’t waste precious time trying to be good in everything. You will end up being a disappointed man like me.
Instead, focus on one thing and be good in it. You’ll be amazed at how wonderful your life will be!
