Day 35:) Alone

Are you feeling alone, being partially quarantined at home?

Why do one feel alone? Probably, it’s when one is not focused on the goals. If you are determined for your dreams, you feel the current period as a great break from work. You can utilize more of your time for fulfilling the long-term targets. Give the intelligent device, brain, a chance to explore the memories and try recalling the things that you were delaying since many weeks. On the other hand, maybe it is great time to connect with family and spend more time with them.

In case you haven't made your mind for longer perspective and just going with the flow. You can explore new stuff. Perhaps, we have a recession now and many will be unemployed. If we don’t upskill ourselves now, it will be difficult later. Bonuses and salaries are being reduced. Most of the international organizations has downgraded the economic growth.

How do one prepare?

Firstly, we need to figure out the intersection of interests and future demands. On assuming there is one, you can google what are the latest trends and start working on it. Otherwise, in worst case scenario you must refigure out the interest or you bring disruption in your field. If you are still puzzled up, discuss with your friends, family members or may be cold email the champions of the fields.

When Warren Buffett first met Bill Gates, their host, Gates’ mother, asked everyone around the table to share the single most important factor to their success. Bill and Warren both gave the same one-word answer: “Focus.”

In case you are unable to concentrate, just note the 24 hours of the day tomorrow. To quote the great Peter Drucker “What gets measured gets managed” You can provide feedback to oneself on how wisely you can invest your day to day time. Maybe you are determined but it’s not reflecting in action. I have personally experienced the power of measurement. Though it’s hard to measure, right things are meant to be difficult else everyone of us would be successful. Vinod Khosla, the founder of Sun Microsystems, divides the hour into 15 minutes time frame and utilize them accordingly.

Lastly, it’s one choice. Be courageous and make the bold move for a bright future. In case you need any help, I am just a call away😉

Hope you stay at home on Janta curfew and have a reflective day ahead!
