How You Are Wasting Your Most Precious Asset In 2024 — Time
Researchers say that an average person spends almost 50% of their time daydreaming.
This means in 16 hours a day (keeping 8 hours for sleep), we daydream 8 hours a day. CRAZY!
In an age where a day is not enough for us to complete our daily tasks, we dream half the day(well, kinda self-explanatory why a day is not enough).
Our mind wanders half the time here and there to create fake scenarios and fantasies.
Dear Brain, How idle!
Is There Too Much Time?🕰️
One of our biggest misunderstandings is that we think there is too much time.
Can you tell how much time is too much time?
16 hours?, 24 hours?, or 48 hours?
The answer is, we can’t determine. We compare time with the amount of work which is required to be done.
Suppose, your work requires an hour, and you’re given 6 hours to do it, it would be too much time for you (or maybe less?).
What Is Objective And Subjective Time:
Humans have been obsessing over the objective time for so long. We have built calendars, timetables, our routines and whatnot around objective time.
Have you ever wondered why your favourite subject’s class passed by in a minute and mathematics class felt like a day, though those classes were at the same time in the objective time?
The difference was your perceived time a.k.a ‘the subjective time’.
Years and years of research went into what differentiates objective and subjective time.
Finally, neuroscience came up with an answer “ATTENTION”.
The subjective and objective time are different because of one crucial factor that we call “attention”.
Renowned neurologist Dr Sid Warrier explains that our brain is always in an exploratory mode which means it keeps switching its attention from one thing to another.
How To Get Into Your Flow State Faster:
To maintain our focus or attention on something we need to switch from exploratory to focus mode which is also called a ‘flow state’.
You might have heard people saying, ‘Once I get into my flow, I’ll get it done in minutes’.
The people who seem to have the most productive routines out there have figured out how to do more work in less objective time.
The only way possible to do this is to take control of your perceived time by not spending 50% of your dedicated time daydreaming.
For instance: You have dedicated a 2-hour time slot to your studies. But, you are going to spend one hour of that time ‘daydreaming’, eventually you are left with only one hour.
Productive people know how to get into their flow states as soon as they set up their work table and avoid daydreaming.
You can also achieve the next level of productivity by preparing your brain before getting to work an hour or half an hour before.
However, if you are one among those who lose their focus again and again due to mobile, read below:
