Dad joined a company and in a year got an offer for double the salary and a car.
This was 1990! And a big deal!
He quit his job, joined the new company, which shut down in a year.
He was without a job for 2 years.
Mom and dad did odd jobs to keep the home running.
Every smart person continued to ridicule dad for taking that call.
But my dad insisted that he would have still taken the call. There was no way to know!
He could have very well succeeded and heralded a hero.
Lesson 1:
Risk and failure is not absolute.
It is a state of mind.
Audio captures not just the thoughts but also our emotions at that moment.
Which is super helpful, when we hear it again in the future.
Bonus: Start the voice note with "I am recording this while I was doing..."
Context helps.
2. Pomodoro Technique
A time management technique that's proven to maximize productivity and attention.
Break your day into 25min chunks followed by a 5min break (this 30min unit is called Pomodoro).
After about 4 pomodoros, take a longer break of 15-20mins.
