Meditation on Job -2

As I said earlier , we can meditate on the job. As of today no-one has taken a jibe at me on this article. But its true that if we focus on our work, plan our work, break activities in small steps, educate the self for doing the job and the doing the job. This all can be done as if we are in meditation. How it is possible? Yes it is possible! I being a teacher, will take an example to explain the concept of meditation on the job.

Just now, while writing this article , my samadhi was broken by a tinggg. I started looking at a random post on LinkedIn (which I feel is being used for serious business). Came across a line. “ don’t compare your career with others”, “ some questions in life can’t be outsourced. Figuring out your career is one of them!” . The connection is also talking about improving productivity , reducing digital addiction. He is right. Everyone knows it, but can’t figure out how?

My take on career is simple:

1. Do the job which you like most to do.
2. Educate yourself sufficiently so that you can do the job , upto your satisfaction. Aquire all tools to do the job correctly.
3. Once on job, plan you day in advance ! (People may object to it, but needed)
4. Focused work of 45 minutes with a break to walk, stretch, rest will make you productive.
5. Keep your email pop up limited and scan your email only twice a day : mid-morning and mid-afternoon.
6. Separate login for work and personal matters.
7. Schedule meeting day in advance and put an alarm 10 minutes before start of meeting.
8. Use you break for socialising with colleagues and don’t gossip.
