A B C D E for Prioritizing Right !


The most precious thing in the life of a person is "Time".
When you look back, you either have things well Done or ones you couldn't accomplish. Every day of life allows you to be a better person and do better.
The better version of you is an outcome of the first step you take. What is that "better version" of you would look like, and what would "He" say to today's version of you. 
For many, the answer comes simple "Don't procrastinate". As Brain Tracy mentions in his book "No Excuses", there is nothing like "Someday I will do". The "Someday island" does not exist.
Every day you have an OPTION to be SUCCESSFUL and HAPPY or DELAY and find an EXCUSEYou can come out of this trap called Tomorrow and Someday.
You can do it with an effortless habit. Build your every day "Success List" or "Progressive wins".What you want to achieve by the end of the day write it as a list. Endure that feeling when seeing a "tick ðŸ—¸" against each item you have listed, it brings you happiness. Now at the start of the day, you know how your better version looks. That's half battle won.

Now you may ask me "Karthik, there are n number of things I want to do. Can I do everything?". Yes, you can, but, do you need to do it?
Often we measure the day with how many activities are done and very less on how much value the work you did add back.
Everything we do in a day has a 4D view .Do, Differ, Delegate and Delete. 
If you can start viewing with this 4D lens, you know what adds value and what is of no importance.
You might start seeing everything as do, do, do and is natural we sometimes fail to group them due to anxiety of doing it or lack of trust in Someone to do it for you.

Here is a fundamental A B C D E for prioritizing you list
A:  Absolute Must. 20% of your efforts on A list of items will generate 80% of the outcome. Not doing this will have serious consequences.
B: Better do it. It may not have immediate consequences but doing it now will ensure you save time and energy in future
C: Choice. You have a choice. Either do it or differ it. Not doing this will not have consequences. You choose to do it so you will do it
D: Delegate it. You don't need your time on this. It is somebody else job, or Someone else is better at doing it. Just let it go
E: Exclude. It has no value and significance. Delete this from your list.

When you prepare your success list for the day, Mark each item as A B C D E. and as you progress the day give priority for your A list items. 
Never do a B activity until you Finish the A's in the list.
Be consistent and try out you will see results. Can  I tell you a piece of good news, you don't need to wait for a New year, Monday, or  A special occasion to start this. 
TRUST ME YOU CAN START TODAY, NOW, THIS MOMENT! Seize the moment 

I know you want to change and change always starts with the First Step. 
For better you and Better for you, Try it now.

"Vision"-Who owns it?

​ PS: Writing this post straight out of my bed at Morning 5:00 am. Ignore my mistakes.:) Every time when we meet someone new- a friend, prospect, Senior person in an organization etc. The second question would be  "What do you do ?" or "What are you working on?" or "what does your company do?"  and I assume 70% of the answers are  " I am a developer" or " I work on GIS platform" or "My company builds mobile apps"  . So whats wrong in that? Nothing rig ht . But  take a step back  and read the question  "What do you do ?".  Can the answer be  " I am working for a vision ..... and I contribute my part as a developer ....." "My company has a vision ....and to achieve this vision we work on ............"  " we as an organization work for a vision to build ...". It sounds good right and also motivational for the person hearing. If it's so good(i fee...

Essentials for Delivering a "Super Talk"

When someone has given their time for you, then make it count for them All successful Orators were storytellers and in the 20th century, 80% of successful people are storytellers. It could be a sales demo or a feature presentation, or a moment to inspire, Prime ministers speech everything needs it. Duration of it can be for 15 -18 mins, the impressions created can last for a lifetime. When someone delivers the talk, the audience should resonate with the passion that the speaker has and the content should raise the beats of their heart. Imagine any great movie; the directors present his vision in the form of a storyline to bring the producers and star cast to say yes. That’s is the reason we call them the perfect storytellers. In the corporate world it is no different we refer them as visionaries, Storytellers and some time with love we call them "the Sales People". Nelson Mandela is a great storyteller he could tell a story of his vision to bring a nation together...

The Power of Prayer

Do you pray? When do you pray? When was the last time you prayed? Do prayers have power? Do prayers have a magical touch? If you have said "Yes" then why don’t we pray every day? We pray on special occasions, festivals and significant days in life. Of all them, we often pray when we are in fear. Prayers induce a subconscious thought that we are being looked after by superpower who knows what you want. Prayers are associated with faith . When we have faith, we move forward with positive thoughts.  When we offer prayers with faith, it creates a flow of energy and registers a visual image of our wants.  It's not the religion or the god you offer the prayer, its ability to communicate your needs in solitude to the subconscious mind, which projects the image of your desire into the real world. Prayers detail out your problem statement. It creates an image of your fear and your desire to win over it. Subconsciously you train your mind to overcome the fear.  If you dou...
