Let me put up compilation of thousands of research data on multitasking
1. We lose 28% of our average workday to multitasking ineffectiveness.
2. Multitaskers make more mistakes than non multitaskers
3. They make poor decisions because they favour new information over old even if the older information is valuable
4.Multitaskers experience more life reducing stress
5. Multitasking doesn’t save time. It wastes time
Multitasking word came into our vocabulary with computers.But even they process one piece of code at a time. It’s just that they are so fast we get an illusion it’s multitasking
We can do two things simultaneously like walking and talking or reading a book and sipping tea. But we can’t do is focus on two things simultaneously. The modern office is a den of multitasking activity. Distraction, disturbance and disruption.
When I am working on something very important - costing for a tender, engineering a product or driving- I simply cut off other things. I can’t afford to fail in these. Multitasking can cause more than one type of wreck. Multitasking takes a toll. Distraction undermines results.

The traditional approach to weight training working on individual muscles groups is dumb if your goal is not to become a bodybuilder. A standard template -one day chest, triceps. Back biceps. Legs and so on. 95% of the body builders u see have some nagging pain which is bothering
This very concept has stemmed primarily from bodybuilding. In the last few decades tremendous research has been done on benefits of functional training. Functional, by definition, means something that is ‘designed to be practical and useful, rather than attractive’
Functional simply refers to practicality and usefulness. Therefore, during programme design with ur trainer ,it is essential that exercises are selected based on their function and usefulness to your daily life and not on the attractiveness or difficulty of the movement.

Joe Biden will take oath as the 46th President of US today. Until 1933, the inaugural used to take place on 4th March - the day constitution took effect in 1789. With communication slow those days on horse back and ships it used to take long time counting votes.
Trump will not be the first one to not attend incoming Presidents inauguration. Way back in 1801 John Adams after losing to Thomas Jefferson left Washington before oath ceremony. A bad loser
There are many interesting stories of Presidential inauguration but most interesting is when assassins planned to kill Abraham Lincoln who was travelling by train to DC for his inauguration and how the detectives worked and saved him at Baltimore.

We need 7-9 hours of sleep. There is a global experiment which is naturally performed on 1.6 billion people in 70 countries every year when day light saving time kicks in. Day after they lose an hr of sleep there is 24% increase in relative heart attack rate...
.. as compared to when in autumn there is 21% reduction in heart rate when they gain an hour of sleep. A very interesting study has found that on the day after daylight savings the harshness of punishment increases by the judges because lack of sleep effects their mood.
Deep sleep is the best health insurance policy you can ever wish for. We all know that during deep sleep we get benefits for our cardio vascular system and it can recharge our immune system.

I have a growing business. Some 200 families are directly dependent on me. I have some 40 odd customers in all the continents of the world. They are dependent on me so that I supply them the right products that will help their business grow. This all adds lot of work.
Any day my to do list will be of 10-15 very important matters to attend and almost 20 emails to look and respond. And lot of meetings. And yet each and every week I spend more than 12-14 hours on my fitness, completely focussed.
I have found that over the last few years if there is a clash of schedule – a client meeting or a travel happening which means I have to skip workout, I prefer to reschedule my client meeting. I do this because I and my business can survive the consequences of rescheduling.

Sharing an incidence from early part of my career - why everyone should be given a second chance. Way back in 1993 we made our first breakthrough with an American customer. Developed a product for them which got approved and they ordered a pilot lot of 6000 nos valued 5400 USD
We committed to send him these parts in 2 months time. It took us almost 9 months to make them and every few days I will come up with some excuse. The primary mode of communication was fax those days. No emails. I faxed him the invoice for 6000 pcs even before the parts were ..
..packed. During inspection found out that 300 odd nos were out of spec. And ek pe ek itne jhoot bol chuke the ki there was no option of sending 5700 nos nor their was time, money or material to make 300 more numbers. I asked my QC guy to mix up these 300 in 5700 and ship.

2.Your exact nutrition plan will depend on your goal and health status, but have more fruits and vegetables in your diet, along with plenty of protein and complex carbohydrates. Limit your junk food.
3.Monitor your Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, sugar and Resting Heart rate. Always. These parameters are very important to monitor. Health and longevity are extremely important and should be everyone’s priority.
