The urge, the rush and cure



Rush and Distraction are the two main jarring notes in our day…As we rush through our daily life, falling prey to our momentary urges, one after another , rushing through to complete the chores mindlessly…all we feel is an incoherent noise playing throughout the day….

Fortunately there seems to be a cure !!! Playing a different set of keys …

Key 1: FOCUS:
Set up a time limit just for 2 minutes…(if you are on a computer , use nowdothis.com ) . Clear all distractions and just focus on the Task on hand! Immerse yourself in the task, if you will...In other word, make this task your universe for the next 2 minutes only!

Key 2: PAUSE :
After the undistracted focus…Pause for a minute…just ruminate on the completed task.Breathe !

One caution : Be aware not to press the jarring keys:  RUSH & DISTRACTION!

Practice the FOCUS and PAUSE Keys through the day again and again; Like learning the Keyboard…it takes time and practice…If you are at it daily, you  will be on song…soon others will be hearing your symphony!!!

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
