The basic topic is rhythm. All life, all liveliness has its rhythm. The question is not, which rhythm is the correct one, but, which rhythm is the correct one for me. Some people have a pulse of 44/Minute and some people's heart strikes 80 times per minute. Both are correct. What we often lack is the good rhythm between tension and relaxation.
An important topic:
Finding the rhythm between tension and relaxation. That is important, also from the physiological point of view.
Your brain connects new collected data and facts only in the phases of peace and relaxation. Think of the moments when you had your last good ideas or realizations - usually we experience them in the bath tub, on a walk or in otherwise beautiful relaxed moments. Relax and give your brain the chance to ease.
Secondly:
Multitasking makes us ill in the long run. There are only few people, who can deal with the tension of multitasking. The old Zen wisdom has a lot of truth in it: If you go, then go, if you sit, then sit and if you eat, then eat. You cannot enjoy 5 things at one time and if you do 5 things at one time, then that is an emergency programme that nature gave to some of us. Don't forget the rule for each emergency programme: Activate it only when you really need it; don't let it become a continuous program. You will burn out.
Thirdly:
In a world dominated by new communication technologies, think about the following: Keep it real at all times. Do not let any computer or blackberry determine your accessibility! Your world and/or enterprise will not go down because you are unavailable from time to time.
Fourth:
Delegate! If there is somebody who can do a certain thing better than you, let them do it! It will enable you to manage your personal time better.
Last but not least: a good plan liberates: Prioritize your activities!
Keep swinging! |
