Time and money are the most valuable resources one can have. There will be a series of articles as I get more clarity on these to manage these things better.
The key to best utilization of time and money is being effective. Effective to get the things done in the right way with the minimum of resources.
What does it take to be effective?
We will come to the answer if we understand that all things are created at-least twice. This is really a powerful idea.
First they are created in the playground or the sketchpad of mind, they undergo easy modifications as we muse on. Then takes place the action to actually create it. This is similar to how some advertisements work on us, so there is no doubt its effective.
The good news is that it works, so we can use it effectively for us. This is how we can do it. When we are musing about something desirable we step back a little in time in our mind to trace how we are making it happen. In other words we are going through the stages to make it happen. A lot of stages may not be clear at this time. This unclarity, confusion is a blessing in disguise (more below).
As we go through the steps more to see the details we understand the following:
- What are the steps, what are the different possible correct order of events
- what is absolutely essential, regulations
- what will take the most resources, time / money, getting an estimate if them
- what will take special ability, where we will need help.
But, such helpful thoughts can happen if we allow them to happen, some things are helpful in this regard.
- We have to allow ourselves to be in solitude and not be busy all the time.
- Record our thoughts, this is similar to saving money. We need to benefit from all the good thoughts that come to us at some point later.
- Be comfortable with uncertainty and deal with it. Uncertainty can be uncomfortable, but that does not mean we should avoid it. We must first admit the uncertainty, try to think in different directions, or get inputs from other sources to deal with it better.
- Observing without a reason. If we do everything with a reason, we miss ideas that are not aligned with out reason. To clear out mind, remain nimble and thoughtful we need to look/listen/feel different things without any overbearing thought at leisure and enjoy the experience.
When we have helpful thoughts, we are able to deal with uncertainty. We become more understanding and become more honest with us to make better choices. Making thoughtful choices keeps us ongrowthtrack.
