DAY 17 : I AM PISSED AND NOW I’LL GET MEAN

Hey Re-inventors!

This is DAY 17 of the 30 DAYS OF DOING THINGS THAT I WAS 'GONNA' DO

And today is all about getting mean

I have to say that I am pissed.

I am pissed by how the world taxes me and drains me and at the end of the day I feel that after working all day, I have accomplished nothing.

Even right now, I am sitting behind my sofa, writing this article. The TV is on and the fan is making it’s usual noise. The boring reality show that is on the TV is irritating me. I sit behind the sofa on the chair because just like any other teenager I fear being taunted by someone in my family to be staring at my phone all day. But the truth is not that (that is a different topic though).

Leaving my phone due to these comments/taunts, irritates me like anything. Not being able to do what I want pisses me off.

And I don’t understand how can I make others happy if I am not happy and satisfied with my day. I am sorry, I don’t know how to do that.

Enormous distractions and requests from people have completely diluted my focus for the past 3 days. And the sad part is that I don’t know how to overcome these limitations.

Sitting inside my room, writing articles to post everyday and coding all day, is something’s which is not really appreciated by my parents.They want me to get out of my room more often(which may be right). But, deep inside I know that I’ll have to work even harder to get what I want but these small obstacles just won’t allow me

Doing my work with full focus has become a myth my friends. I am sick of fulfilling requests and helping people by sabotaging my own productivity.

IMAGINE THIS:

If you are going to a church/Temple/Mosque (or any place where you align yourself with and pray to the almighty) and you get disturbed during your prayer by someone to do something which is extremely trivial.

Would you like it? I wouldn’t

And this is the same thing. My desk is my Temple and my work is my prayer. And if someone disturbs me repeatedly, I get pissed (as I am right now)

I have now come back to my room and I have decided that enough is enough.

I am not going to fulfill the requests of anyone else, until and unless it’s extremely important. I will refrain from doing anyone else’s work if my work is pending

I know it may have a lot of disadvantages but right now my mind is on the getting-shit-done mode, rather than the being-a-nice-dude mode

So yeah, I’ll get mean. And that does not mean that I do not love and care for the people around me but the bottom line is that we have one life and at a certain point of life, we find what we love to do and thereafter, we have to work hard to realize our passion.

Today’s day was pretty much like yesterday. I worked with full focus in the morning, because no one is up during that time. I then sat down with family and went to the gym after that.

When I returned, a series of busy work(not mine) piled up. The first major one was getting my sim changed. I recently got my phone changed which takes in a nano sim instead of the micro sim that I used to have. The same case is with my father. So I had to go and get both of ours’ sim cut into nano size. By the time, I sat to work properly and started to gain some momentum, it was lunch time.

After lunch I had about one hour to work post which I got a call (continued for 30 minutes). Then at 5:30, I watched the ASKGARYVEE show, which I have linked to above. Once again, from 6:15 to 7:00, I had to book some tickets for dad, help him in his web check-in and then call my sim service provider to enable conference call on his phone.(Phew! A lot of work)

At 8 o'clock, I again had to get some items from the dairy shop and by the time I came back and started working, it was dinner time. After dinner, I was sitting with my family (writing this post simultaneously) and then I went to sleep after writing this at 10:00.

One thing to notice is that even when I was working today, I had to get up to do some or the other thing due to which, I could never establish momentum while working.

I’ll try to ensure that tomorrow is not like this because getting my work done is now of extreme importance.

So guys, this was DAY 17 and how I plan to get more mean to improve my productivity

See you guys on DAY 18! Be happy and keep Re-inventing Yourself!
