Mental Health

Research has found that procrastination is not a time-management issue but more of a self-regulation problem.
We Procrastinate when we are unable to manage negative feelings around a task (such as boredom, anxiety, etc.) 

This is especially true when we have "task aversion". Maybe the task is too boring or complex. You want to avoid negative feeling when you think about the task, so you might open up Youtube or Instagram.

The 10 minute rule is a helpful way to minimize procrastination and take action before our emotions take over.

Leadership

Hey People,

I want to share few career advice that I wish someone gave me in my early 20's.  ✨

-Be a problem solver:💡Great ideas put you in a position of value creation.
-Have a growth mindset: Believing in your ability to learn, develop new skills and view challenges as opportunities will take you far.
-Continuously grow your skillset: Where you are and where you want to be is a gap of skills that you CAN close.
-Take initiative: Be someone who's proactive rather than passive
-Attach yourself to a mission or purpose. Not a job 🎯

Don't give in your 100%. Give 75-85% productivity at work. 

So, I've been reading these articles/research studies on how 85% productivity is the sweet spot. It helps you stay productive and prevent burnout that comes from overworking. It works wonders, especially, for those in creative fields. 

The rest 25% of your workday should be spent on breaks, socializing at work, and likes. 

What % of your work day do you spend being productive? Curious to know.

So my gf is 24, she feels pretty depressed because she has no sense of direction of what she wants to do with her life, she tried a medical assistant program but hated it. 😕

I want to help her find a good career, so far she’s worked retail but doesn’t want to stay on that path forever, and wants to give school another try eventually. 

For people that have been in her position, what career have you chosen that doesn’t suck the life out of you , is actually somewhat enjoyable , and pays decent ? 💵

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Imagine if we could harness the untapped potential of our sleeping hours to enhance our workplace performance. Productivity is a golden key to success these days.

Have you heard about lucid dreaming?

Lucid dreaming is a state where one is aware that they are dreaming and can potentially control their dreams. This phenomenon isn't just a plot for science fiction; it's a real, a trainable skill. 🤯

A study found that employees who actively engage in lucid dreaming practices report a 30% boost in creativity and innovation in the workplace. 🚀💡

Are you working hard but not achieving the results you desire? Ever wonder why you, as a smart business owner, sometimes struggle to reach your full potential? 

The culprit might be closer than you think – Distractions.
Awareness is the first step in overcoming these distractions effectively. 
-Lack of Focus
-Lack of Planning
-Perfectionism
-Fear of Failure
-Digital Distractions
-Lack of Boundaries

Awareness and self-reflection are powerful tools in your quest to reclaim your time, achieve your goals, and steer your business toward success.

Is a career break really that bad in this country?

I feel depressed from working very hard the past 5 years with graduation, Covid, job, etc. I just want to take a few months off and focus on my mental/physical health. I also want tr try out some business/freelancing ideas I have.

My concern is how Career gaps are treated like a stigma in the industry. Like was the use of working so hard and getting qualifications, if I cannot take a few months in between jobs to focus on myself. 
Can someone help me get some perspective?

During a discussion with my friends, I actually gave attention to how much we've revolve and have so much to unlock new heights of productivity 📈.

Tapping into the power of AI 🤖 has become more than just an option—it's an essential step forward.

Whether through predictive maintenance, data-informed decision-making, friendly virtual assistants, or personalized learning experiences, the potential for boosting efficiency through AI is boundless 💯.

The time to embrace the AI-driven productivity revolution is not just tomorrow; it's now! ⏰

As a working professional, I am sharing a few principles which have empowered me to navigate the labyrinth of professional life, embrace challenges as opportunities, and forge meaningful connections along the way. 🌱

-A growth mindset 🧠
-Networking 🤝
-The power of connection 
-Thriving in change 
-Continuous learning 

As I continue my journey, I remain committed to upholding these principles, knowing that they will continue to shape my path towards success. 🏆

When was the last occasion you indulged in a restful 10-hour sleep, allowing your body and mind the rejuvenation they need?😴

In the hustle of daily life and work demands, ensuring adequate sleep becomes paramount for optimal mental health and professional performance. 🧠📈

Reflecting on moments of extended, uninterrupted rest prompts consideration of its profound impact on overall well-being, offering a crucial foundation for cognitive resilience and sustained productivity in the face of life's challenges.

A meta-cognitive thinking technique I use to live a better life - 

I believe that I'm the protagonist in a play and that the world is my theater. I do what needs to be done to get the story to progress forward. Imagine my life is a play by Anton Chekhov – every action, and every decision is a pivotal scene, shaping the plot. 

I learned this technique during my time in the IIT drama club from a peer (a dramaturgy genius). 

Hope it helps you. Do share.

In today's fast-paced professional landscape, integrating physical activity into the workday is essential for overall well-being 🧘‍♀️ and productivity 📈.

Simple yet effective strategies include active commuting, desk exercises, regular breaks, walking meetings, stair climbing, utilizing lunch breaks, mindful snacking, etc.

Prioritizing physical activity at work enhances energy levels, reduces stress, improves focus, and fosters a positive work environment.

Let's take proactive steps towards a healthier work-life balance ⚖️, one step at a time! 💪

Due to depression sapping my motivation to do anything for a long time, I never managed to do much career networking, nor did I manage to really get a girlfriend.

I have been getting some help on the depression side so I can start to do things again now, but I feel out of my depth. 
I can hold conversations with strangers fine, but I don't know what to do where I want to build towards a romantic relationship, or a career opportunity. 

Of course the lack of experience doesn't help my confidence. 🧐

I will very much appreciate some pointers.

I get started. I'm productive. But 15 minutes later I noticed that I'm not productive anymore, at all.

Taking breaks does not help much either. It doesn't matter if I eat, drink, or nap, when I come back to my tasks I cannot refocus a second time anymore. 🤯

I must mention about my burnout and ADHD but I don't wanna hear any of that "get therapy" or "get medications".

I'm just, looking for a directly implementable way to be more productive in getting my things done. ✅

I need a way to prevent getting distracted after 3 minutes of work.

Advice Needed ⬇️

So for the last month, I was busy with an important project. I forgot about studying and about my health. Now I have exams in 16 days (and have like 30 chapters) and gained like 6 kgs.🤯

Now I am stressing out.
The fact that I have a lot of studying to do makes me stress. This makes me eat more and gain weight. Gaining weight makes me more stressed out because I can't workout while between exams. The fact that I am gaining weight and can't workout distracts me from studying. Due to this, I have lost the last 5 days.

What do I do now?

Hi Guys 👋

I am currently struggling with balancing quality and productivity at work. ⚖️

Looking forward to seek some guidance and tips to navigate this intricate equilibrium more effectively.

I am open to any suggestions and advice you can offer.

Thanks in advance! 😊

I was accepted into a program three days ago and have reached my first step of my career goal but I feel so numb and burned out. I have other goals that I have planned in the future but my motivation isn't strong. 😞

I realize this phase will pass and I'll be back on my feet, but NO.

I just.. want to get some words of encouragement.
 My family and friends think I’m doing good and supports me on my journey, but I actually feel very lonely on the inside. 😔

Help me!

I've stuck this image at my work desk. It keeps reminding me that I need to take a walk to make my brain run. 

Hope it gives you the motivation to take walk breaks at work whenever you can.
