General

1)      Daily Plan – Sit down 5 mins everyday to write all things that needs to be done in a notepad. Make a priority on those tasks whether it is a personal or work related. You can put some background color on those tasks (if you use excel sheet) for high, medium, low priority tasks.  You can also list out the everyday mandatory tasks on a separate section in the same sheet (reading newspaper etc). You can also allot tentative timings to complete a task. If you write down those tasks, the mind will automatically adjust itself and work accordingly. If any task will take you less than 5 mins, do it immediately.  Otherwise, these simple tasks will squeeze lot of energy in the mental level. Moreover, there is no hassle in the mind, and you never forget any important tasks. Because, every single thing is written down in a sheet. So you are mentally free.

More important, you need to write it down at the beginning of the dayJ. I am telling you this process will take less than 5 mins.

2)      Creativity – You need to do same thing as above. You are recording your random thoughts or ideas in any day. Sometimes, you will get an idea whether you are having lunch or taking bath or driving a car etc. Just record it in one sentence in a notepad or IPhone or Blackberry or a paper before you are forgetting it. Don’t think it is a silly idea. Because no one can see those ideas except you. So no problem right. Keep all those ideas in one central place. This could be your personal dairy.  Make a plan to review all those ideas occasionally like every 3 days or a week. Once you review it, your mind will think unconsciously day and night. It produces lot of other ideas. This process will take less than 1 min.

3)      Cleansing your unnecessary thoughts –  Sit silently for 15 mins in a comfortable posture  and can take support from a wall, observe your thoughts and important thing is that do not concentrate on any thought (Of course Do not sleep !).  We can call it ‘Conscious Sleep’. Don’t do less than 15 mins and greater than 15mins.  After 15 mins, you will feel absolute stillness in your mind. Just carry that stillness throughout the day. If you are worried or tensioned or some other disturbance at your work place or home, just visualize this silence or stillness and immediately you will see change in you. You may not experience in a day or month. But after couple of months, you will definitely experience. Because we don’t know how much junk we carry in our mind 🙂 (many years of junk).It is like this, we are cleaning externally by doing bath and internally by sweating, urinating etc. How about cleaning mentally. If you don’t clean it, it is like unedited movie. Can you watch unedited movie? That’s why there is lot of confusion in our thoughts, no clarity, fear in taking task, encouraging negative thoughts unconsciously etc. So this is a very simple and powerful process. You are allocating for YOURSELF just 15 mins out of 24 hours in a day for ‘DOING NOTHING’. Do this process in either the early morning or evening, at the same time and place. This will give the long-term benefit that you never imagine. You will experience lot of improvement in physically, mentally and more important your satisfaction level tremendously improves in any task. You need to understand there is SCIENCE behind this process. The science is your mind will stop thinking after 10 mins if you don’t concentrate any thoughts. So you will experience ‘NO MIND’ state after 10 mins.  NO MIND state will produce immense benefits in you. You can do simple research on google. We always think consciously and unconsciously throughout the day (24/7/367 days) and dumping all junk into mind. If you reverse the process, there will be tremendous adjustment in the mental level. We can call it Reverse Engineering.  Building stuff is very difficult and cleaning/removing/ destroying is always is easy and very fast. That you already know :-).   (Warning: Do not do more than 15 mins this exercise and before going to sleep.  Otherwise, your metabolism level will reduce drastically and that is not good for your health).

Implement all these 3 simple DOABLE processes as a ritual. I hope this will take less than 20 mins in your precious time.

Change will happen with simple steps. In a process of change, seeding is most important. Create an environment to sprout the seed and nurture it for a while. Unfortunately, fruits will come at the end.
