No matter what age you are, from a scale of 0 to 100, everyone has an eight-year-old brain that is constantly being active in the fun zone. But it's also about helping it know when to focus during the working times for accomplishing those critical tasks. Most of them, when we are either in enjoyment or working zones, the one thing which is happening by default is our breathing pattern. So next time you feel that you've lost touch on a concept or are unsure on how to solve the problem, just be sure to put a 1-minute timer or take ten big deep breaths for helping navigate yourself to the solution. As your breath will send a message to the brain which then gets in synch with the mind to tell it for focusing on this critical assignment; it's all about managing your 8-year-old brain that's in sync with your mind.
Human is livelier of life if it's lived simply. Life only gets more complicated, but tough humans get through challenging obstacles ahead of them.

Inhale your problems and exhale a solution to this issue.
So the more grateful you are in life, the more life will give you more things to be thankful for in the present moment. The feeling of comfortableness is easy and not challenging, but having the crow's eye of how both are served at each occasion and that we humans have to rise to the event. So that we can tune into the changes that have taken place around your environment, it's incredible what is possible through some mindful and conscious movement.
It's similar to cutting your hair; you are always able to make space for it to grow and evolve in the sense of becoming more potent than the last time.
We need strength while doing the possible, but we need faith while doing the impossible.
Welcome to the new morning with a smile on your face, love in your heart, good thoughts in your mind, and wishing you a lovely morning as always.
The understanding of work-life balance has varied from fulfilling and focusing on every work given to you in life.?
From several individuals' backgrounds and priorities, some find it useful to schedule a same number of hours to make up both sides of personal and professional life. But that doesn't really do the work, because it depends on your status and age, meaning as we get older more responsibility comes with it that make it harder to find time for doing the work and loved ones.
The key to finding a balance is to simply keep working hard to strive on pushing yourself 3% to 5% on either side of the beam so that you can give that extra time on either side of life or work.
With everyone's daily schedules, there comes the two essential factors of focusing and efficiently fulfilling the responsibility of productivity. Focusing requires you to sit down and be at the constant pace of finishing one assignment after the next without any sort of distraction. Fulfillment is having the accomplished state of feeling for fulfilling all the necessary work that was either easy or hard but getting finished in the end to start the next day with a fresh new to-do list for tackling onto.?
Many of us will tend to get trapped in the feeling of pushing ourselves on days when we're not as eager to do any sort of work. I can understand both sides of opinions on how it's essential to give yourself a mental getaway and know the feeling of not sure what to do for the entirety of that day.?
But no size fits all its answers because when you're on point for concentrating, that's when the best work is actually happening. That's why 5-minute breaks between our days are vital for us; to step aside from our screens, take a deep breath, and look around our surroundings to acquire those small energies of packets. So, when you come back to work, there is a drive and discipline for finishing what we have already started.?
That we as humans need to do a much better job of ranking ourselves higher and giving credit to ourselves for accomplishing the to-do lists requirements. Don't get too busy forgetting how to make a living in life. Because it's impossible to get everything you want that matters specifically to you. Work is a much similar concept to basketball, where you are always running on the court every day from left to right and center. But your health, family, and friends are the hoop you are constantly aiming towards getting the basket in; the shots you miss are opportunities for developing a stronger bond amongst that individual. To be a successful professional and entrepreneur working in the industry, you would need to be juggling all priorities in life day in and out while not stressing about it. Otherwise, your house is a total mess that you specifically aren't aware of at that point in time. When your expiry date comes in life, you don't want to be thinking how much more time you could have spent in the office, but those memories that genuinely matter or at least had you experience something you hadn't before.?
We always tend to think about the result we put into a specific type of work and how much time it took, but it's actually about the quality versus quantity of work we have put into it.
Because productive people have a mission, their primary goal is to look at accomplishing those mandatory priorities in their lives by focusing on the clarity before doing its actual action. Letting the results do it's talking for them and taking out time for what is essential. They focus on taking the time for required arrangements in their life by wanting others to be effective and making the changes needed.?

Occupied people want to show everyone that they have a mission but really don't, as they have many other priorities to take off. They focus on the action and talk about how busy they are, how little time is left in their day, and the benefits of multitasking. They continuously want others to get occupied in their lifestyle and be a part of the movement for stretching the definition behind the word change quite long in their dictionary, in terms of longer-term plans that never really get approached.
As for occupied people, they are mostly busy due to constantly switching between multiple tasks. In contrast, productive individuals know what's critical to getting finished at this point in time.
When productive individuals know it's about managing their time to focus on meaningful work, as for occupied folks, enjoying the spirit of multitasking.
Occupied people get easily distracted when productive ones have a system to check what tasks are remaining to complete.?
Occupied ones get stuck on their desks working, whereas productive individuals know when is the proper time to take a break for coming back with working twice faster and more efficiently.
Adding more tasks for the ticking of your to-do list isn't the productive way of working because it won't even be 25% complete. So start small with how many tasks you can complete in a day and increase the numbers as you start to get good at it.?
Do the most challenging assignment first, and the easy ones will trickle their way into the completed zone. Because being productive is for making you do things that you weren't able to do before and having the time to do other stuff or take care of other essential concerns around you. So try to strive not to be successful but to provide value to the work you currently perform.
This way, the next time you're confused about balancing personal and professional life with being either a productive or occupied person, think quality over quantity and which one will fit the best for your picture.
Because work is the reoccurring calendar invitation that will always be there in your life, so you have to plan ahead of time to make sure your seesaw is balanced right in the middle of both your lives. Patience, hard work, drive, and hope is all we have at stake as humans, and everything's left in the hands of the universe.
Action is the essential key to growth, and the next time you hear someone say they have a strategic plan, it means that they are doing things for solving business problems. That usually means they are keeping themselves busy with solving real-world problems, whereas you might be interpreting that the work you're doing is coming out with a solution, but it really isn't.
Stay warm and safe until next keep focusing on being effective instead of engaging yourself.
