Functionality of “Now”

Clock by Insung Yoon

Time is a fuzzy thing. It tells me it is in hurry. But when I look at it, it is paused, waiting for me to give it an order. “To just move”. I feel I am short of time. But when I try to think of finishing a task, it comes in an ample amount to let me finish all kinds of task.

Let us discuss, how we can kill our goals by making maximum use of the available time.

1. Understanding “Now”

2. Iterate “Quicker”

Understanding “Now”

Hit by Chris Chow

Do not burden your life with extra todos. Lengthy tasks. Un-necessary cluttered checklists. Keep tasks minimal. Short with achievable parts. That if you move a little, you are able to kill it a little on your checklist. Keep it simple.

Do not plan much. Think alot. Force yourself further. Stop at planning. Planning and actions are meant to be weighed together. If in any case, your time spent on “planning” surpasses your time spent on “actions”, you are compromising on quality of your content. Great content comes after “actions”. Lengthy planning and weaker action dulls down your final product.

You can make maximum use of the available time by not writing another checklist. But by picking up the most difficult task in your life, that is halting you right “Now”. And get on with its finishing. Finish it quicker. Move to the next most difficult task, finish that quicker. And move, hit, fail, move, hit, fail. Keep the cycle of iterations running.

By the time few hours of this halted time have passed you by, you would have reached closer to your envisioned line of success. You would have done things that really turn your life around. You would have taken few bold, brave steps towards finishing the hards in your life. As these harder tasks are done, you will feel victorious, confident and brave. And consistently hitting your harder goals, down this road, will make you an inspiration for your community..

The highest human act is to inspire.

That is why, Do not wait for the next day, to start your much awaited task. Start it “Now”.

Iterate “Quicker”

Published by Webaroo

Well, if you make use of “Now” every other day, it is definitely going to get boring. You will lose track of its hidden strength. You will find it not-so-productive. And you may give up on your agenda.

In order to make sure all tasks of your life, reach their good final. You are required to create smaller chunks of your product, that are useable, validate-able and shareable, more often.

The start of your task, should reach an ending, that is presentable. It can be a little shabby, broken and ugly. But it needs to fulfil a certain functionality that is feedback-able. The presented product, has to be “useable” in some fashion.

Once you are able to make smaller chunks frequently, like the series of these blogs every day, your quality of product will start improving. Ultimately, your smaller chunks will turn into bigger chunks that will have a better design, functionality and utility.

I suggest, you iterate your creations, everyday. Everyday, make 1 thing, that is complete in itself. That is shareable with your friends / family / boss. That brings you to accountability of your ‘days’ efforts. That tells you, how you need to bulge on your next time of availing the ‘Now’ of your day.

It will lead you to finally reaching your goal everyday of your life. And the goals that are iterate-able, that can be met everyday, are your real goals. Such reachable goals lift the quality of your life.

Time management is an art. It is quite a job. The mastery of it, takes some toll. It wants your attention, dedication, discipline and hard work. The time, bears fruits, brings colours, changes the flow of your days and makes the dull days turn into productive days. Time alone, is the master of all mantras.

If you have not yet decided to move, I say, Now is the perfect time to move towards your goals. Now, get into action. Not sleep. Not wait. Not tomorrow. Now, make your life take the final turn, that takes you to your dreams.
