* How to #Focus *

Few young adults asked me ways to improve focus.
Sharing what I follow.

To begin with :
* Turn off all gadgets
* Sit in a room & read hard copies of books / newspapers
* Primarily try to focus & absorb the content
* Read aloud if necessary
2/5

* First read with an intention of consuming content . Read slowly
* Gradually shift to reflecting upon it
* Then memorising points
* Finally writing takeaways

* Don't use mobile / laptop for reading when developing attention span . Mostly they are counter productive !
3/5

* It takes time to develop focus.
Won't happen overnight , especially given the addiction to mobile & social media.
So begin consciously & slowly !

* Gradually increase reading speed & time & retention

* Switch to kindle only when comfortable level of focus is reached
4/5

* Finally, use mobile / laptop only once you can comfortably sit for atleast an hour to read & think.
( I don't )

Don't just read / listen - Assimilate it & implement it in your life as per your requirement .

Else we are wasting our time & just piling on garbage !
5/5

A sound mind is needed to focus.

Hence ,ensure you :
-Eat right
-Exercise
-Get Sunshine
-Have plenty of water
-Follow a sleep pattern

Meditation too helps here .

If you could add something more , do share it for the benefit of all πŸ˜‡πŸ™

Let's all learn to focus !

Invest in yourself. Read.
Self educate. Think in isolation !

Everything in life can teach you when you possess the right mindset.

Firstly, build your own system to manage Cash Inflows & Outflows .
Find a way that's least troublesome but automatically separates the 2.

#Budgeting & #Allocation must not be a cumbersome task !

Easy bifurcation helps in Better mapping.

Moving onto Emergencies . This pandemic has made so many of us realise the importance of it .

Another interesting facet :
Unwillingness to take risks comes from the FEAR of not having money when needed - typically why Bank F.Ds are preferred.

Hence the EMERGENCY fund.

" Zen and the Art of Happiness "

It's a simple book but it makes you think .

Few of my takeaways ( with random 2 min doodles).
πŸ‘‡
Firstly,
What is Zen ?

#Zen is a Japanese word that is derived from the Sanskrit word Dhyana meaning "Meditation" .
2/21
Zen is a journey of exploration & a way of living that , in and of itself doesn't belong to any one religion or tradition as such.

Zen doesn't teach. It merely
points, enabling us to wake up & become aware.

Ever noticed how zen stories rarely have predefined morals? πŸ€“
3/21

The zen of doing anything is doing it with a concentration of mind , a calmness & simplicity of mind, that brings the experience of enlightenment and, through that experience , happiness.

It could be something as mundane as sweeping or peeling potatoes !

The #COVIDSecondWave is real .
Being prepared helps a little.

As someone who is recovering from Covid, sharing some basic points on #COVID19 .

Pls share if useful . πŸ˜‡πŸ™

(P.S - I have cross verified with doctors prior to posting this in public domain )
2/13

If any symptoms, get tested (RT- PCR) IMMEDIATELY along with ENTIRE family.

DON'T WAIT for 2-3 days.
Labs are already backed up !

Begin wearing masks & Social Distancing EVEN INSIDE Homes.

DON'T SELF MEDICATE.

The SOONER the treatment begins, the BETTER it shall be.
3/13

Rapid Antigen Test ( RAT) is a poor substitute for RTPCR.
Preferably, get #RTPCR Test done .

RAT has a high false negative rate.

Patients can be negative initially yet HAVE COVID. Accordingly more tests are advised.

NOTE :EARLY & CORRECT diagnosis is the key .
