This blog is for people who want to make a maximum impact in a limited time.
Have you wondered how people man like Elon makes such a huge impact, running multiple ventures at the same time? Did he get special permission for extra hours? Definitely No!
We always complain about limited time but we have many examples like Mark Zuckerberg(Meta Platforms), Ritesh Agarwal(OYO Rooms), and Nikhil Kamath(Zerodha) who have changed the whole narrative in a matter of 1 or 2 decades.
Hi, I have done brief research and presented it here on the basis of my own understanding and a few belief. Thoughts are based on books, Deep Work, Hyperfocus, Atomic Habit, and other books on productivity and habit building.
Reason 1; Limited & Undefined life span
After 0.33% growth from last year in 2022, the life expectancy in India is 70.19.
Let’s reduce the 20 years of fun and formal education, 10-15 years of retirement, and 10-15 years of marriage and being a parent. There are 30-40 years we actually have to do something visible.
Some of you may argue that they can do more, Well, that’s great.
The point here is we are human and live in a society so it’s impossible to utilize all years 100% even if we intend to do so. And the years we already spend in our childhood, already gone. ( great time, wasn’t it? Old Childhood days)
If we have something positive and impactful to implement in the world then it’s truly our responsibility to put our best efforts to utilize all our working years.
Reason 2; 24 hours a day!
8 hours sleep, 2 hours traveling, 1-2 hours food and snacks, 1 hour for miscellaneous activities. We only left have 8-10 hours of actual work to the max. So there is no way possible we can generate additional hours.
Additionally to this, there are many other activities that demand our time including relationships, family, friends, etc.
As technologies are advancing to automate some of our activities but it also swaps away time when we glue to our devices unintentionally. Yes, their Advance AI showed you random signals that they are improving you.
Beware! They just want your attention for a longer period of time.
So challenges are many and time is limited, how to do something useful?
Reason 3; One Big Fish
Scope matters. There are an enormous number of tasks that people perform every day. Can we do everything? No, unless we are Superman’s kids :D.
It’s always important to find out what we want to achieve in life, and what impact we want to make with our limited life. That’s where the vision, mission, and passion matter, be it for any business or for personal.
It’s okay to few switchings in the initial years till you find your perfect spot, where your heart, mind, and spirit synchronize. Once we identify, Let’s go, get that!
Reason 4; Deep work & Attentional Hours
Suppose you are working 10-12 hours per day for 20 years, What would be your chances to make any difference? Well, I believe it depends.
The hours of work don’t guarantee success, it’s hours of attentional work. It’s not about how many hours we do work but what value we are generating in the end.
We have limited years, limited time per day, what we can control is our attentional work towards our goals & ultimate success.
Most successful people don’t have degrees, but some have great degrees. What’s common in all is Deep work( work with full attention).
Thank you for reading.
