We all love to become indispensable assets to our company. However, we don’t know the “how”.

Here’s how:

Do what you are supposed to do.
Without follow-ups,
And then gain mastery in getting better at it.
Consistently.

It always baffles me how few people actually do it! And those who do, it never baffles me on how far they actually go!

1. We never work in urgency. Every content piece has at least two weeks to be worked upon.
2. If you are humble, curious and hungry, over time, you’ll learn to become the best in the country at what you do.
3. When you get the inputs right, over time, outputs take care of themselves.

Everything that seems interesting on the outside, is indeed boring to execute.

1. Keep it simple: Anyone can make things complex. To make the complex simple, is the work of a genius.
2. Keep it short: Anyone can make things long and too long. To use lesser words to convey more, is what makes you a genius.
3. Show up consistently: Whether it is every day or every week or thrice a week – once you have set that benchmark for yourself, let there be floods, rains, anger, procrastination, but never stop showing up. You’ll be amazed at what shows up for you once you do that.

It always baffles me how the most important things are also the simplest things to do. Action >>>

You can’t do everything, if you decide to do all of that in one day.

The way I figure that balance out, is by doing multiple things on multiple days of the week.

Helps me not feel drained out, do everything I want to do, and also say no to something that is important for tomorrow, not today.

Time management, is merely choice management.

Perhaps that is true.
Perhaps they don’t understand you.
Perhaps you don’t understand them either.

It would reduce a lot of stress in your mind, when you accept that your parents want the same things from you as you do.
The modes may be different. But the nodes click just at the right place.

Making parents understand is a tough task. But it won’t be so, if you let your actions do the talking.
We know the world through our thoughts. The world knows us through our actions.

We don’t lack understanding from others. We simply need to have more understanding of ourselves, through our actions of proving to them.

Most of us dread Sunday evenings for the prospect of an upcoming Monday.

Here is something you could do, to make your Mondays better:

1. Planning your week.
2. Scheduling distraction time (so that you don’t feel guilty at the end of it).
3. Making sure that you have a job that you look forward to. And if you don’t, creating one, by working nights and weekends.

Sometimes, a Monday morning fear is lack of action of planning our week. And our careers.

I make a lot of reels on “three things” listicles on Instagram.

Here are some more of my three things:

Three things I absolutely hate:

1. People who bring others down.
2. People who bring others down.
3. People who bring others down.

Three things I absolutely love:

1. Mango
2. Sitting with my thoughts sans any music or commentary.
3. Giving back something that I have been given.

Making your own listicles is a powerful way to decode what’s important to you. And what’s not.

The world tells you that you should read more often to become more aware.
Which is true.

I, btw, have a different question:
Why would you want to commit the mistakes that have already been committed? Why not learn the lessons from them even before committing them?

Books do exactly that.
They lay open life truths just like a true friend would.
They let us go into a world of deep possibilities when the world around us wants to addict us to failure probabilities.
They are there for us, when no one else could be there for us.

More than any return an asset could give, one line in one book is more than enough to give you 1000X return on investment. Why wouldn’t anyone do that?

Every 6 months, my team and I go to an offsite location, and we chill together.

We eat, play, party, and have fun.

Why do we do that?
Because it strengthens team camaraderie, helps us get closer to each other, and helps in forming friendships that last beyond our job descriptions.

Total fun. No pressure. Just letting ourselves flow.

The last thing companies should focus on, is only work. True work is often beyond core work.

Change.

The only thing we want the most yet resist it the most.

Change, is so powerful, in so many ways that we shouldn’t wish otherwise.

If it is an unwanted change, it shows us the things we were attached to, that we had to let go of.
If it is an anticipated change, it shows us how much more we can go.

Change has the power to make us powerful, or to rob us of our power. We get to decide. Every single time.
