In the modern world, technology advances it term of communication, transportation and etc. It reduces time consumed to do things. That is great!, we might say. The thing is, time is more efficiently used nowadays, but it seems that we are getting more occupied with work and more busy . The boses and the organisation that we work demand more from us.
We spend odd hours checking and replying emails. We even have devices like blackberries (did i spell it right?. I dont have one!) to enable us to get updated.
It is in my opinion, this is very unhealthy. We work to provide to our family. But we does not seems to have time for them or even ourselves.
The idea is...
Time is saved by efficiency provided by technology. We are getting busier because we or other people in our surrounding keep adding more things to do to our 'to do lists'. It never stops!.. That is the thing what gets us busier, the endless addition to the 'to do lists'.
At the end of the day, we would only realised that suddenly we are old, we are tired, we are sick, we forgot to enjoy life, we are missing our children or somebody else gets the promotion that we work for.
What to do?..
Start having the 'missing list'. The missing list is the list of things that we should reconsider of its relevance and priority, to be abandoned and to be eliminated. The missing list is the 'not to do list'!. Most people are good with 'to do list', not many consider and have 'not to do list'.
The thing is, we can only get better if we are able to focus. Focus on key important items. We can not deliver best results if we are to do tons of thing at the same time. We can deliver best results if we focus on a few most important things on our to do list.
The idea now is, to shortern our 'to do list' and to have 'not to do list'
Think about it.... it will worth your while!
