Notes about my life !!

But before we discuss further it's important to understand why the question itself is important. I believe the question is extremely relevant as we invest a significant portion of our time in different activities which gives us certain returns. If we know the most expensive stuff then at least we can aspire for it and put our energies in the right direction thus enabling us to achieve the goal. The question can also help to choose a career path and how we evaluate incremental success. Now, let's get back to the main question. For me the most expensive stuff in this world is the ability to spend time the way you like . The word ability is very important here. This means that if you don't want to work right now, you would have a choice and you would not be forced to work or if you want to do something you...

As per the article in Business Insider , we touch our cell phone 2617 times a day while for some extreme users this number could go up to 5400 times a day. The research also found average users spent 145 minutes on their phones and engaged in 76 phone sessions per day. As for iPhone users, Apple recently confirmed their device users unlock their phones 80 times every day. That's about 6 to 7 times every hour.  This translates to a very high number and nothing in the history of mankind has been able to penetrate our life's in such a way. Without any debate, we are actually addicted to our phones. Considering the high number, one of the question that pops up is how can we reduce the time spent on phones. But I believe this is not an important question , at least n...

Before I explain how, we must ponder over the question, why we should learn something new? The answer is very simple, explorations. Great ideas are generally a combination of different ideas that were meant to solve different problems. If you limit yourself within the box, then how are you going to think outside the box. Different topics would not only increase your knowledge but would also increase your knowledge in different verticals and who knows when this can come handy. Like the way Steve Jobs put it: “ I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and sans serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture, and I f...

In this article I would like to talk about my experience with procrastination and how I have managed it or rather managing it. I must confess that I have not been able to solve this problem and there is a lot of room for improvement but nevertheless I have become better over time which is what I would like to share. Before we discuss further let’s agree on what is Procrastination? Procrastination for me is not only an act postponing and delaying something but the act of not prioritizing the right stuff. I have been a procrastinator and I don't remember ever when I postponed an activity and did not do anything. For most of the time, I exchanged an important work with some non-trivial task that was not so important but was easy to finish. So,...
