 Top 10 Practical Lessons From the Book “Start Now. Get Perfect Later” 1. You are not alone We all procrastinate. You are not alone. If you are struggling, ask for help. What you are going through, we all are, and there are others who’ve solved your biggest problem. Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. 2. Your work is not your worth Have a clear wall of defence between you and your work. The world can judge your work, but that does not define who you are. You are capable of decisiveness, clarity and greatness. 3. The pain & paradox of perfection Perfectionism can be a curse and a veil to protect your self-worth to avoid the fear of failure and being judged. Strive for excellence instead. ‘Start Now. Get Perfect Later’. 4. Pre-crastination Pre-crastination is the illusion of busyness we create by ‘getting things ready’ before we start.

Mind management optimizes the resource of creative energy. 3. Not all hours are created equal: If you write for an hour a day, within a year you'll have a book. But you can't instead simply write for 365 hours straight, and get the same result. 4. The First Hour Rule is simply this: Spend the first hour of your day working on your most important project. 5. If you start your day working on the most important thing, there's less of a chance for other things to get in the way. 6. Sometimes your mind is better-suited to think creatively.

  12 DAYS OF PRODUCTIVITY     Have a question for a colleague in your office? GET UP AND WALK over to their desk. For every 20 minutes you spend sitting, you should spend 8 minutes standing and 2 in motion.     SOMETIMES PRODUCTIVITY IS AS MUCH ABOUT WHAT YOU DON’T DO. Find 3 things that you can delegate or automate.      Before you start your day, identify your HIGHEST-PRIORITY TASK. Make progress on it before you check your email.     Set aside time to LEARN TO USE YOUR TOOLS AND SOFTWARE MORE EFFICIENTLY. Review a video tutorial or check out the latest user tips.     Be strategic about when you schedule your phone calls. PICK A TIME OF DAY WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE TALKING — and are less likely to make progress on other kinds of work.      Don’t get overwhelmed by a lengthy to-do list. CHOOSE THE TOP PRIORITIES and put the rest aside (for now). Otherwise, your progress can get slowed by all the other things you’re thinking about.      Put a stop to information overload. Have your own “aw

Can 10 Minutes of Meditation Make You More Creative? Whether you are trying to reconcile conflicting stakeholder priorities, finding a solution to a customer’s issue, or launching a new product line, your solution probably won’t come out of a textbook. But it’s hard to keep having great ideas day after day. What do you do when you run out of good ideas? How do you “get your mojo back”? One increasingly popular solution is mindfulness meditation. Google, Goldman Sachs, and Medtronic are among the many leading firms that have introduced meditation and other mindfulness practices to their employees. Executives at these and other companies say meditation is not only useful as a stress-reduction tool but can also enhance creativity, opening doors where once there seemed to be only a wall. To gain a deeper understanding of the effectiveness of short meditation sessions in boosting creativity, the authors looked first at the literature and then conducted their own experiments. They found that

 5 Lessons I Learned From The Book ‘As a Man Thinketh ’ 1) You Become What You Think You are what you are right now because of the thoughts you once had or have. If you want to change yourself, you should first start with changing your thoughts. All the actions of man arise from the hidden seeds of thoughts. Just with the right choice and application of thought, man can ascend to divine perfection; while with wrong choice and application of thought, he can rise below the level of the beast. Good thoughts and results can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results. 2)Your Mind is Like a Garden The author creates an analogy of our mind with the garden. We either choose to cultivate our mind wisely or let it run wild. If we don’t plant the seeds of beautiful flowers in our garden, the garden will itself produce some useless weeds. Just as the gardener weeds out all unnecessary plants it is the responsibility of every individual to plant the right see

  10 Lessons From An Enemy Called Average By John Mason 1. BE PERSISTENT “Persistent people begin their success where most others quit. Here’s a simple key to success in any area of your life: be known as a person of persistence and endurance. One person with commitment, persistence, and endurance will accomplish more than a thousand people with interest alone.” 2. CONTROL YOUR TIME  “All great achievers understand the value of controlling their time. They know that we human beings have been created equal in this respect: every one of us is privileged with twenty-four hours a day. What we do with each day matters. Give your best time to your most challenging situation. It’s not how much you do that matters; it’s how much you finish. Here’s a key: Say no. Saying yes when you should say no is one of the biggest reasons for wasting time.”  3. INDECISION IS DEADLY “Indecision is deadly. Some of the most miserable people are those who can never make a decision. When the mind is in doubt, it

  8 LESSONS FROM TALENT IS NEVER ENOUGH BY JOHN MAXWELL 1. Talent Is Not Enough  "Talent is often overrated and frequently misunderstood. French poet and dramatist Edouard Pailleron pointed out, “Have success and there will always be fools to say that you have talent.” When people achieve great things, others often explain their accomplishments by simply attributing everything to talent. But that is a false and misleading way of looking at success. If talent alone is enough, then why do you and I know highly talented people who are not highly successful?"  2. Everyone Has A Talent  "People have equal value, but not equal giftedness. Some people seem to be blessed with a multitude of talents. Most of us have fewer abilities. But know this: all of us have something that we can do well. In their book Now, Discover Your Strengths, Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton state that every person is capable of doing something better than the next ten thousand people. And they s

  Top 10 lessons learned from book-Mindset: The New Psychology of Success 1. Adopt a Growth Mindset and Focus on Learning Over Achievement. When you focus on a growth mindset, you embrace all the things that have felt threatening: challenge, struggle, criticism, and setbacks. When you embrace the tough stuff, you open yourself up to fully realize your potential and all that you can be.  Instead of depending on luck or “natural” talent, you focus on developing your skills and abilities, and learning from your efforts. 2. You Can Change Your Mindset. The good news is that even if you currently have a fixed mindset, it’s not a fixed thing. “Mindsets are an important part of your personality, but you can change them.  Just by knowing about the two mindsets, you can start thinking and reacting in new ways.  People tell me that they start to catch themselves when they are in the throes of the fixed mindset — passing up a chance for learning, feeling labeled by a failure, or getting discoura

 11 Leadership Lessons from" The Leader in you" -Dale Carnegie 1. Talk less, listen more. People will pay attention to what you say, just because of your position. The leader’s job is to pay attention to what other people say, especially those who think their views don’t count. Show you’re listening by acting on what people tell you, and gain their trust by giving them the credit. 2. Don’t step in with solutions too quickly. No-one learns anything new if you keep doing what you already know how to do, and don’t allow others to try. Anyway, they may find a different, or better way, and if not… mistakes are valuable too. 3. Be authentic. Be authentic, passionate, even emotional, about what you believe in. Share your vision and live your values. The personal is more engaging, even inspiring, than the process. 4. Don’t ‘dis’ downwards. Once a decision is made by the Board, or the leadership team, it’s yours even if you argued against it during discussions. Your job as leader is t

 Why You Act the Way You Do by Tim LaHaye There are four basic temperament types. Here are the 4 types.  Phlegmatic Phlegmatics are naturally service-oriented. They are passive in both favorable and unfavorable environments. They influence their environment by cooperating with others to carry out the task. They tend to not be highly ambitious and they tend to lack a sense of urgency (both due to their passive nature). Phlegmatics are introverted, calm, unemotional, easygoing, indecisive, patient, and agreeable. They are both slow and indirect when responding to others. Phlegmatics are slow to warm-up, but will be accommodating in the process. They are by far the easiest people with whom to get along—as long as you do not try to alter their routine or ask them to change. Phlegmatics live a quiet, routine life free of the normal anxieties of the other temperaments. They avoid getting too involved with people, and life in general, preferring a private, low-key life-style, centered around

  Book Review: Gun Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond Recently, a Facebook page with nearly a million followers asked a mocking question "How is it that Europeans conquered Africans despite not having the endurance to run long races?" For most of 2019, this was the question that occupied my reading. If you love history, eventually, you will begin to ask this question. It is inevitable. At first, it will look like an easy answer. But lazy answers do not cut it. Britain is a small island nation that once controlled more than half of the world. Today, more than half of all the nations in the world celebrate Independence Day, and all of them were colonized by small countries in Europe. Big India was colonized by small Britain. Big China was conquered by small Japan. At the peak of Belgium's colonial escapades in DR Congo, Congo was more than ten times the size of Belgium and had nearly ten times the population of Belgium. Whatever was going on in history, there had to be an exp

  10 Quotes from "Building A Second Brain" by Tiago Forte. 1. "Your professional success and quality of life depend directly on your ability to manage information effectively." 2. "Before we do anything with our ideas, we have to 'off-load' them from our minds and put them into concrete form. Only when we declutter our brain of complex ideas can we think clearly and start to work with those ideas effectively." 3. "Once our thoughts are outside our head, we can examine them, play with them, and make them better. It's like a shortcut to realizing the full potential of the thoughts driving through our minds." 4. "Information becomes knowledge–personal, embodied, verified–only when we put it to use. You gain confidence in what you know only when you know that it works." 5. "Every time you take a note, ask yourself, 'How can I make this as useful as possible for my future self?' That question will lead you to annotat

  10 LIFE-CHANGING QUOTES FROM PURPOSE-DRIVEN LIFE BY RICK WARREN. 📌“Being successful and fulfilling your lifes purpose are not at all the same thing; You can reach all your personal goals, become a raving success by the worlds standard and still miss your purpose in this life.” 📌 "We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it." 📌"The only really happy people are those who have learned how to serve." 📌"God is not haphazard; he planned it all with great precision."  📌"Love leaves a legacy.

Listen: those who hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain
