How can we...
I opened a new post and paused for a second to find a subject to write about, remembering my new brand name "Too Many Minds" I thought about focus for a while.
Today I was trying to do 2 or 3 things at the same time, I wanted to deliver a few documents before the day ends, but I had too many minds top the extent of stopping in the middle of an email just to open another document or a new mail that I received... MAN... This really sucks.
I ended up doing half what I should have done and shifted the rest till tomorrow.
Looking at the big picture. I had a few questions.
How can the people deliver when they have a lot on their minds? Focus...focus...focus.
All management books and news letters will talk endlessly about that, but will not tell you what to do, all they give is theory. You have to think about the one thing you have on hand and not think about the next thing you have to do.
Focus my a** (And that's an understatement)
A guy who:
- has 4 or 5 kids
- in different stages of education
- is supporting his sick mother
- is paying rent by the new law because his house was brought down by the 1991 earthquake and till now he could not find a decent apartment or get the compensation from the government.
How can this guy be able to be creative in work, think about ways to make people's guys easier and finish what he has faster.
How can he not be bribed, how can he love his street, his neighbours, his bus mates when they are stuck to him like sweaty leaches.
How can we as a community progress, take ourselves forward?
Live and learn...
