NO is my answer !

 Let’s be honest!

Is there something else you are supposed to be doing now? An assignment, Laundry, household work, etc.Etc...
Well, you should be doing those things but instead,
You are here reading my Blog! HA HA HA......

I am here to share a similar incident that happens to me often.

Sorry Story:

  This morning I woke up and got ready quickly because I had to get my assignment done. Then I sat down at my desk to start my assignment that's when I saw my desk was messy so I decided to clean it up because a clean desk would help me get my assignment done.
                     When I was finished I realized I hadn't eaten anything and I dint want to be hungry while I get my assignment done. So, I went to the kitchen and I dint like the food So I decided to go to a restaurant and eat something. After I was done eating I remembered a bunch of stuff to be bought from a nearby grocery store and I decided to buy them since I was already out and dint wants to be disturbed by its thought when I get my assignment done.
       When I got back home my friend invited me for a game of snooker over the phone and I agreed to it because a relaxed mind would help me get my assignment done.
  By the time I reached home, it was already kind of late and I knew I wouldn't be able to get my assignment done today. So I decided to watch Netflix and started to text people on whats app, but I just had to make sure I hit the bed early because I need to be well rested tomorrow So that I can get my assignment done!
   

Procrastination:

The story was Funny, isn’t it? Trust me, this happens to the majority of people around the world. We tend to procrastinate a lot of our most important duties because it does not align with our current comfort level or assume we have lots of time before the deadline. And yes the best part is this procrastination is highly contagious soo very contagious that the right time, right comfort level, and the right seating position rarely come. 
I am pretty sure every one of us is desperately trying to get rid of this habit.
We have lots of experts and scholars advising and writing on the topic 'How to beat procrastination '. But Let me tell you something, nothing works best like one’s own solution for one's problem. 


I was contemplating to find out the reason for my procrastination .........thinking ....... thinking........thinking.......... alas! Came to the answer- Learn to say no buddy.

Learn to say no:
  I was a continuous yes er for everything (now you might think oh I can ask this guy to do anything). NOOO . The yes was not for outside stimuli but for internal responses. Initially, I used to think it is because of him/her I was not able to fulfill my expectations but it’s now that I realized that it’s not because of them but it’s because of me that I was not able to complete.

Then I started watching my thoughts. When I had to say a Yes, the amount of cognition and the speed at which it took place was much faster than compared saying a NO.
That’s when I decided that I need to practice saying no to my internal cravings so that I am able to prioritize the most important need in order.
You are welcome to try this. Trust me it helps.
  
Say NO! Achieve more!

P.S.:I finished my assignment ;)

Disciplined Thinking !

I have been recently getting active on Twitter and LinkedIn. There are multiple reasons, one is a fascination with the platforms themselves, and the next is the ability to network with so many like-minded people, professionals from the same line of work, and follow a lot of high-thinkers. Above all the most important reasons are Learning and Inspiration.  As I was scrolling through Twitter without a purpose, I happened to pass through a tweet that caught my attention. It read "Writing is Disciplined Thinking". I was really engrossed in that Tweet and started contemplating the meaning and reasons for the statement.  It is when I realized the power of writing and saw the potential for a new blog.  I was seeking answers from within while asking myself multiple questions like "Why did you start writing ?", "What benefits did you get from writing?" , "How did it impact your life? ". My mind went crazy with a mountain of answers and I felt writing ab...

Small Change, Big Impact !

In the summer of 2022, my phone's (Samsung Note 9) battery decided to die on me after putting up with my grunts and gaming for 4+ long years. I didn't want to give it away or change the battery; don't ask me why! Maybe I was too lazy to go to the service center or wanted to look for a new phone.  After much consideration, deliberation, contemplation, and a lot of persuasion from my dear friends, I decided to buy myself a new phone. Not just a phone but an iPhone (drum roll please). I got myself a brand new iPhone 13 in the new forest green color, why green? I am still pondering over it.  I  remember the day I held the new iPhone in my hands. Surreal, premium, and a fine phone. I was new to the entire Apple iOS system. I was slowly and steadily navigating through the phone while enjoying every click and swipe I was making. It wasn't as scary as I anticipated moving from android to iOS.  Of course, ensuring I hid this beautiful forest green in a silicone case and a scr...

What's your AirTag?

After moving to iPhone and seeing multiple videos and reviews on Apple products, ML(Machine Learning), and AI( Artificial Intelligence) on every one of my internet platforms started throwing up recommendations, videos, and reviews on Apple products.  Honestly, I was intimidated, and it slowly created a desire to own every one of Apple's product lines.  Sometimes I honestly enjoy watching each of the videos that Apple creates to the extent that I was really interested in knowing the brain behind those brilliant concepts. Also, the Apple page on youtube doesn't let any ads play 😉. That's when I came across an interesting Apple product called AirTag !  AirTag is fundamentally a tracking device developed by Apple. This tiny-looking thing is engineered perfectly and aesthetically pleasing with an excellent round design with a steel side that has an Apple logo and its technology mentioned and a smooth white dial on the other side (apparently you can customize this side with an...
