I opened the laptop to read through some bibliographical notes from a book. Then I saw your blog on the top of inbox and I couldn't stop because the monkey mind had already begun to play when my purpose of opening the laptop went aside. Then I bought couple of biographies that had been in my wish list for some time. I think I have said it earlier, your signing off with three recommendations for the week are a delight. I had already begun reading the HBR article but then I got back to thanking you else it would be yet another instance of the monkey mind distracting away from commenting on it.
I have been struggling with my morning routine, I want to make a huge change because I had been performing the routine effortlessly during the COVID years. Last evening when I was expressing it to a friend, she reminded me of taking small steps. I hit me like a brick. Why did I not think about it? Is it over-ambition or too hard?
Could be over ambition , could be escaping of some kind .. irrespective of what emotions run our human OS.. all the success will
Eventually come down to staying on course day after day , week after week.. putting one step after another .. not getting sucked into the anxieties of the future or the regrets of the past.. just putting one step after another ..
Ah the monkey mind! It's on overdrive most times. Love the internal and external drivers. Gonna make sure I have my goals written down daily. It's something I've told myself so many times but just never get around to doing it.
Build in public? Or build in private and let the work show itself when its done? I have always been vocal about my every goal and I feel that it gives me a false sense of accomplishment just by sharing it. Recently I've been thinking of building quietly, keeping it more private. Thoughts?
Depends on one’s personality.. I have made it public that I’ll write weekly and it works on my psyche very effectively, making me push for consistency cos someone might just be expecting my weekly email.. and if I miss, that breaks the trust being built .. so whatever works in maintaining one’s cadence ..
Found this one amazing and relevant. Distraction always keep us away from doing some important actions in our daily life.
