Some other habits that I want to build are :-
- Explore the basics. Eg, I should know the basics of the Internet. If I want to understand or explain something, I should be able to break it down to the basics.
- Another is the habit of imagining things. I would like to be able to imagine the sketches that I am making. I would also like to be able to imagine abstract pictures of the concepts that I am studying. The way Feynman did.
- Another habit is the habit of persistence. Basically a habit of deciding to do something and sticking to it till the end. It also means seeing things to completion. The sheer joy of seeing things that I once imagined as complete.
Along with this habit comes the responsibility of carefully setting a target. It should be something that I am absolutely inspired to follow.
4. Doing and learning from Simpleology. This will help me build the all important habit of hitting my target.
Some of the goals that I have are :-
1. Earning 60k in the month of April. (Seems unlikely) {Now that I am at the end of April, I have absolutely failed to come anywhere near to the 60k mark. 10k is possible if I slog till 30th.}
2. Earning 1lk in the month of July. Another unlikely possibility.
3. Having real fun!
all the time. Basically, right now I have the opportunity to have fun working with the inmates of a jail with Mumma. Doing cool things like giving personality development courses at Chatarpur. Well, in my life to be, its these kind of things that will excite me the most. Just what is it right now that stops me from enjoying all this? Well I guess, its the habit of not doing my things on time. If I conduct myself in such a way that I have taken care of all the things that I need to do, in the morning itself and am free to do anything I please during daytime, this problem won’t be there. 1 life baby, live it!
Some other random thoughts that are coming to my mind are :-
· What to do about my website?
· Basically I gotta build this habit of planning my day every morning, after having a steady look at my goals. And then work my plan with integrity. Yeah, working my plan
. This way I’ll be able to generate enough free time to take care of the random activities that keep happening.
So what can my daily routine be like???
- Review the goals
- Make a list of things that I wanna do today
- Distribute them in different time slots and plan the day
- Work the plan the rest of the day.
Yeah this one looks much better.
Wow! looks like I screwed up the CSS of this template!

Wow, writing things down in a blog really helps
Soon after I wrote the habits I am taking on, I realized that I gotta do a reality check of my current standing. Looks like, I was again in wonderland… I had thought that I had been doing pretty well with a good amount of discipline. But thanks, I have come back to reality again.
Now, 1 complain about Robin Sharma (whose work I had been resisting a bit). He says that you just gotta give 15 mins of your time daily to the program. But with his all new exercises increasing day by day, I guess I need 2-3 hours to do them properly everyday as of today (day
and would require about 5 hours a day after another 20 days. I am finding this Megaliving thing highly confronting. And I guess the sheer reason that I am still following it to the best of my capabilities is that I feel its testing the best of me. Besides I know that if I can do this thing “the way it is meant to be done”, I will never ever complain about my being indisciplined or lazy. And yes I am seeing some results coming too.
1 reason why I resist Robin’s work is because I don’t want to use some techniques to transform my life. Self realization is a beautiful blissful process. But after really confronting it and questioning myself, I realized that I am fine with using techniques or whatever it takes to get what I want in life. Its the fear of people saying “abe oye! you used all these techniques to succeed” that was stopping me. But as I said, I have taken on becoming independent of peoples’ opinions while still being attentive to them.
So here is my daily routine:-
(Mind you, there are a lot of things that I have inserted because I liked doing them on my own, besides Megaliving’s influence)
