The Elephant and the rope - Not bound by rope, but by own limiting belief
as humans, we create our own limiting beliefs some times. 'I cannot', 'I am not capable', 'I fail'.. whatever it may be, it limits our ability to succeed. It is about time to regain confidence, change your negative beliefs to positive beliefs and say to yourself.. 'Yes, I can'!!!

5 min daily checklist to take control of your work day and kill stress
#productivity101 tip 11 - Take a step back when you are overwhelmed
Time Management Tips - #8#9#10 - Time Audit, 80 - 20 Rule, Take A Break
1. Create a Time Audit - Audit your time for 7 days straight. You have no idea what you are spending time on, until you start tracking it and putting it on paper. Get some real data for a week and then see where you stand.
Important thing to note is to track. every. thing. including items that you don't think that are important. and be very honest with yourself.
I've to tell you, I did this for a week and my results were embarrassing. I'm not very proud of some of those items in there, but that's ok. Then I knew, what exactly I was doing. There was no assumptions, these were cold facts and once you do it, there will be some very obvious things that you don't want to do.
And there will be a lot of scope to improve it.
how to do it: Nothing fancy, just take notes somewhere you can hold on to for at least a week.
2. The 80-20 rule. The secret of achieving more with less.
This is the best time management tip of all. 80-20 rule of the pareto principle, 80% of the results come from 20% of the tasks.
The trick is to identify those 20% of the tasks that will fetch you 80% of the results. This also means that you have to trash items that are not really contributing to your overall success.
Here's a simple example. Let's say you have a goal that states 'I need to finish reading 5 books this month', but do you really need to do that? You would probably be well off, if you focused on 1 or 2 best books that will contribute to your goals. Quantity is not quality, is it?
This principle is true in life and relationships as well. Look around you, and you'd probably find about 20% of your relationships to be actually fulfilling and rewarding, rest of them are crap. So, focus on those 20% of people and make sure to be invested in them. Whether its your mom, dad, siblings, cousins, friends or your colleagues. I don't know, but just try to find that close 20% relationships and spend time on them, nurturing those relationships. Your life could be more fulfilling if you did that.
3. Take frequent breaks
Research shows that if you are working for 52 mins, you should take a break for 17 mins. sometimes, you may not have that luxury, but when you do, make it a priority to take a break. Focus is more important than the time spent on a task. To achieve higher productivity, you need your cognitive and psychological states to be at peak levels, and to do that, you have to take breaks, unless you are elon musk, then you work 15 hours a day without taking a break.
haha, anyway, taking a break will significantly improve your productivity.
