Self-Worth-1

Maybe we often asked our self “How much am I worth?”  How much insurance money will I get after someone’s death, how much my father leave on his will? Etc.etc. Even though this is a weird question with no exact answer yet because there is no definite answers you would like to hear. But for me my self-worth is all about “SELF-CONFIDENCE” – “SELF-ESTEEM” – “SELF-RESPECT” –

Self-Worth. I hope you all enjoyed the part-1, if missed you can read it here.

Pay attention to yourself: Who doesn’t want to look attractive? It’s just that people refrain from putting effort into it. Have you noticed the moment you dress up to step out of your house, you feel more confident? This is what grooming can do to you – make you feel positive.  How much of a difference a shower and a shave can make in your feelings of self-confidence and for your self-image. Check it up yourself. Many a times a shower changed my mood around.

Dress Well: In order to the above item, if you dress well, you will feel good about yourself. Dress well not necessarily means you have to wear designer clothes. The meaning is something different for every individual. Even a presentable, nice looking casual clothes will do. When you will feel great, you act happier and you’re more personable towards the people around you. Sorry to say, but a first impression is truly based off of your appearance. When you look the part people will believe you can perform better. So why not dress to impress?

Self-exploration: Write your own timeline: Write down all of your major dreams that you feel you wanted to achieve. Also write down the events in your life that have already happened that you believe have affected you. When life hits with problems or misfortunes it shapes our belief system and makes us think differently. Get to know yourself well. Start listening to your thoughts. Read: Start thinking about your limitations, and whether they’re real limitations or just ones you've allowed to be placed there, artificially. Dig deep within yourself, and you’ll come out (eventually) with even greater self-confidence.

Think Positive & Act Positive: It’s one thing to learn to think positive, but when you start thinking you should act on it also, then you can see the change in yourself.  Act in a positive way, take action instead of telling yourself you can’t, be positive. Talk to people in a positive way, put energy into your actions. You’ll soon start to notice a difference.

Be Warm-hearted and generous: Whatever you acknowledge is true for you and the more you acknowledge it the more it grows. So what do you choose to acknowledge yourself for being? What do you choose to acknowledge others for?  You act in accordance with the Golden Rule, and you start to feel good about yourself, and to think that you are a good person. It does wonders for your self-confidence, believe me. 

In the next couple of blogs let me explain what are other points to look into know you self-worth. Your self-worth is your insurance to your future.  Look forward to the next blog.

All of us know we have this bad habit – the tickling sensation in the left hand to press to press Alt+Tab to switch from mail to messenger to browser to games to twitter to Face book and back to work. This stringent urge to “browse just a little time” in between your daily work tasks; to peak at the Twitter or YouTube seems like nothing is important enough to prevent you from page surfing.

Have you ever thought this funny habits is your time wasters – enemy no 1. First of all, remember, the Internet is a tool. Internet is useful tool, but a tool none the less,  not life-line. Whenever you feel crowded by the new blog posts alerts, the instant messages or email in your inbox, do what you’d do with any other annoying tool. Take control. Ignore it. Let it wait.

During work institute a discipline called “Offline period”, the time limit is an hour or two depending upon the project you are on. Disconnect your “Wi-Fi” connection. This is time od your offline work – like designing, working on Excel sheet, drafting sales plan etc. In between the project or assignment require a on-line information make a note of it and move to the next item. Restrain yourself no matter what, only go back online after an hour or two.

The result or the output will be a real surprise how much of work is cleared with this bit of volunteer offline time.

No @Twitter or @Face Book or @Whatsapp. Nothing is more annoying than an SMS cutting into your flow. While it’s nice to learn that your friend has put a new photo on Face Book, it’s nothing you want to know while doing your job.

How annoying you would feel “Did you finish the Power Point Presentation – for Monday morning meeting” – A message in the middle of a movie or cricket match. Feel the same way to the SMS “Hai last night, extra round of whiskey made me bonkar”.

Disable sound alerts and popups. You’re much too familiar with it – you were just getting “in the flow”, really focusing on the job and starting to get things done, when an SMI alert on your smart phone or window pops up with about your tweet is mentioned and interrupts you. First thing you should do when installing an IM program is to disable the alert notifications – sure they seem useful, but they aren’t. Don’t think this Popups, alerts ALLOWS you to answer immediately; in fact it FORCES you to.

Now have we discovered what the main online time wasters are?  You were shocked, just like me, at the amount of involuntary time you spend daily, just browsing around. What can you do?

Clearly the net has incredible benefits, but is this one of it's weaknesses? And if so what are the specific repercussions? I obviously don't have the answer here, but it seems to me that understanding the impact of this attention deficit is perhaps one of the most important philosophical questions of our time. What do you think?

Internet Attention Deficit Disorder is the productivity killer affecting most office workers today.

Chapter 7 diagnoses our addiction to email, social media, and anything with a screen. I said “our addiction.” Okay, I mean “my.” DeYoung describes the impulse to constantly pick up the smartphone and check the email or the Twitter feed. Just this week I was sitting in the back row of a meeting at church next to a fellow elder. I noticed he and I kept looking down at our phones, as if anything urgent was going to drop into our inboxes Sunday night at 9 p.m. Pathetic. DeYoung doesn’t condemn technology like a Luddite. He’s on the grid. But he rightly offers a healthy watchfulness. And 23 more names who need this book just popped into my head. Buy &Read: Crazy Busy: 

Focused work is your insurance, constant, whereas Reimbursement compensation is dynamic.  Nature of work and payment are subject to change.  The internet tool cannot guarantee reimbursement for any procedure associated with overuse or misuse.
