Have Private Time
The effectiveness of work increases according to
geometric progression if there are no interruptions.
– Andre Maurois
We need to have personal time to
think and plan. Planning and scheduling private time is critical to be
effective and focussed on our most important issues. Interruptions are natural.
But we should plan intelligently to get away from the interruptions.
Do the following exercise for the
next forty eight days.
For the next thirty minutes:
Switch off your mobile and resolve not to break this rule.
·
Don’t speak to anyone.
·
Move away from any sound or visual distractions.
·
Tell all concerned that you are not available for
them.
·
Arrest your body, don’t move; sit straight and
don’t lie down, else you will fall asleep.
· Concentrate
on the job on hand, whether writing, reading, thinking or any other work.
Gradually increase the duration
of this exercise to two hours a day. This is the way to create ‘quality time’.
The productivity of your time is directly proportionate to the care you take to
avoid interruptions by careful planning.
Do this exercise
from today and notice your personal productivity shooting up building your
self-confidence.
