We stay hungry, we devour

Put in the work, put in the hours and take what's ours"

Said Dwayne Johnson. Starting from this inspirational quote I am going to speak on determination.

We hear the word determination a lot these days, some people gain determination some people lose determination, people also use determination to beat VIDEO GAMES but what is determination? Determination is having firmness of purpose or the ability to continue trying to do something although it is difficult. But determination does not come easily to all, some may find it difficult to find determination in themselves for a specific task. Determination is very important; it increases your chances of being successful because you are focused and driven towards your goal. A few ways to try to be determined are to set goals for yourself and understand your abilities and disabilities. 

Determination is what makes humans limitless. It is what makes people climb mountains and in desperate times makes people move mountains. To achieve anything, one must be focused, goal-oriented and dedicated. However, it isn’t always meant to be reserved for the larger goals. Somedays, one needs determination to simply get out of bed or clean their room, on others, ace the exam they’ve been preparing for. What matters is your preparation and confidence, and not the scale of the task. We are all fighting different battles which may pale in comparison to others but are paramount to us. What matters and is equal in all regards, is the determination each and every one of us must harbor to achieve what we set out to. The current situation, where doctors and other frontline workers are working under immense pressure to deliver superhuman results, it is their grit and determination that we must be grateful for and take inspiration from.

 

Time management inculcates better habits and greater productivity. Effective time management helps you capture bigger opportunities and achieve your goals.

Each and every one of us has only 24 hours each day. What differentiates the successful from the average is proper management of both time and energy. It is often important to work smarter, not harder. This means, spending more time on the important things.

Effective time management has many benefits. These include less stress, better work-life balance, more free time, greater focus, higher levels of productivity, less procrastination, less distraction, increased energy and more time to think. It makes most of our scheduled goals and desired outcomes simpler and easier.

 

Some common techniques for time management include planning ahead and making schedules, grouping similar activities together and prioritizing items on the basis of “importance” and “urgency”. These time-tested methods may sound like common-sense, but many of us do not actually implement them in our daily lives.

 

Also, equally important is to take out time to rest, recharge and to not take up more than one can chew. The urge to multitask all the time and taking up all the tasks without evaluating their merits and demerits must also be avoided.

 

It is very easy to either procrastinate or reach a point of saturation. Effective time management not only means higher productivity but finding the right balance for one self. It is something that each individual must figure out for their own. 

 

As the great scientist Albert Einstein once said, “Time is really the only capital that any human has, and the only thing he can’t afford to lose”

 

Thank you and have a nice day.

Starting from that quote, today I am going to speak on sleep. Sleep as we all know is a naturally recurring state of mind and body in which the nervous system is relatively inactive, the eyes are closed, the postural muscles relaxed and consciousness practically suspended. A circadian rhythm or circadian cycle, is a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours. The circadian rhythm is important as it helps guide your body to know when to be awake and when to sleep.  Sleeping is incredibly important it can help improve concentration and productivity, help us with our emotions and social interactions, and to rejuvenate ourselves. Teenagers need at least 8-10 hours of sleep every night. Not getting enough sleep can cause lack of alertness, excessive daytime sleepiness, impaired memory, effects on daily life and road accidents. One of the leading causes of road accidents is sleep deprivation, it is as dangerous as drunk driving. Thus, it is very important to sleep and we should sleep on time to cover our full hours.
