RE: Hive-Naija Weekend Engagement #10 - Time Management

I did not know if I can contribute to this thread but let me put some things here for reference sake.

There was a time I wanted to be too serious in managing my time. I started reading a book on time management titled, "Time power".

Okay, I will finish the book later. 😂😂😂

I could not finish the book. Maybe I could not manage my time very well but currently I am reading a book titled, "5 second rule". This book made me realized the reason why I have not been managing my time very well.

It takes only 5 seconds before our brain can come up with defense mechanism whenever we want to act. Mel Robbins put them together according to what psychologist have researched. Among the ways through which our mind work against our actions are psychological immune system, paradox of choice, cognitive biases, spotlight effect.

Oya let me explain the paradox of choice. Whenever you want to act made if you want to make post, the moment you allow your brain to rest without action within 5 seconds, you will start having other choices like making a call first, being called by a friend, a pop up on your phone.

If you are not careful, you might not write that post again.

I no drop journal but if you must work on time management, first work on your brain and make it an habit to act within 5 seconds.

Okay, make I drop the pen go catch cruise for back seat.

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Sort:  

Yeah... I watched an interview where Mel Robbins explained how she came up with the 5 second rule... It was the count down to a rocket launch by NASA... Insane stuff.

Anyways, acting in the first 5 minutes is easier said than done.

I tried that out and found that I had a lot of projects I started but left unfinished.

Not knowing it is hard.

Knowing it and making use of it is harder.

Yeah, she explained in the book as well. It's an insane discovery.

Omoh that 5 seconds something is so true o. Thats how I picked up my phone to make a post, my brain now decided to check my notifications first, next we entered feed. I have been with my phone for over one hour now,I never make post.
