So the topic that I introduce now is this

How to triple our personal productivity?

Have you ever had the experience of looking back on your week with the sinking feeling that you didn"t get as much done as you"d hoped? You cannot buy any more time than you"re given, and the clock is always ticking.

I invite all of you, dear friends to attend in this practical topic

As I know the most active friends are as follow:

Hesse_Gharib

Botanist

Ch-e-l-e-s-a

Researcher

Mary320960

Havaye_Doost

Momandez

And so on

So, please spend a few minutes on this topic and search to find out more and share your opinion here

Hi dear Roo be aseman;

Thank you because of this topic.

I’m thrilled to participate on this kind of topics. I was waiting to launch by you.

Anyway I start...

I hope I could get your question. Sometimes I encountered to this problem that I have spent amount of my time doing boring or useless stuff. After that I feel I wasted the best time, unfortunately! or sometimes that I schedule for my works, duties, assignments and etc, I can’t do them as good as that I expected !

I don’t know why! It’s really big problem which we should learn how can we overcome?! In this topic we are discussing to find out its solution fortunately! As dear Roo be aseman said we should search about this...but as far as I know, to have motivation for doing something can help...

I’m sorry! I think my post is unreadable!!!! Thanks again.

Hello  toward Heaven and thank you for choosing me to attend in this virtual meeting

Your question is hard to be answered but when I think accurately , I find it easy

At first we should believe that today should be better than yesterday and should be worse than tomorrow

Then every weekend we look back at our past week , we really feel fine and Ok

But how should our day be better than yesterday ? 

First : Let"s go over this day that will change to a past day , of course we should do it before sleeping

Second : If the activities that we have done on this day was correct , we should repeat them again on the next day in order to be a caption in our life

But if we find some activities incorrect , then we should ignore them on the next and other days

Third : In addition to do all these parts that I pointed , one of them is very important and it"s the third part.... : We should have a forward looking purpose in order to help us to improve our  personal productivity

Hi dears

Thanks a lot because of your presence

At first, I start with dear Botanist

Dear Botanist, you started with defining the problem on your own part, so I think this problem that you explained is the problem of the majority of people that is really important for every member of a society to overcome it.

And at last you put forward this solution: Motivation

Maybe this solution is good way for overcoming such problems

I request you to scrutinize the motivation and tell us

What is motivation?

Generally speak about motivation

Thank you

Dear Chelsea

Welcome to you!

I think your opinion is based on this sentence:

’’We should believe that today should be better than yesterday and should be worse than tomorrow’’

I think this is one of the advices of Imam Ali in Nahjo-al-balagheh

And again I’ve heard this from foreign people repeatedly

In my opinion we should ponder on this sentence so much and make it practical in our daily life

You told three-staged process to make this sentence practical

I want to say that I couldn’t get the first part (would you please explain more?)

And about other parts, I agree with you

Based on these two parts your solution is to some extent practical

So

Where are the rest??

Your presence is requested

We’re thrilled to hear your solution for increasing personal productivity.

So Long

Hi dear friends.....

 Dear Roo be aseman;

Thanks alot  for your favor.

And it"s turn of going back to topic.yeah,as you said this is problem about majority of people if God wills we will solve it! 

You asked me to elaborate more on Motivation,

In my point of view,if we have motivation we"ll do our schedule in the best way.

Mmm...it"s a simple example that I had recently ,I mean when I had problem for posts writing ....I hadn"t any motivation to write and explain more.so I preferred  to procrastinate !!!

I think every work that we are doing is based upon motivation.....isn"t it?

When we have it(motivation) we say: this  work is prior to another work.so we will do it as soon as possiple.

but there is a challenge , about gainig of motivation !

I have another idea too that I will express later.

Best wishes.....

متشکرم از رو به آسمان . مورد اول که شما اونو به خوبی درک نکردید رو نمیتونم راستش به انگلیسی توضیح بدم چون خیلی نمیشه واضح گفت اما به هر حال شرمنده ام . اگه اشکال نداره میخوام به فارسی بگم . استثناعا همین یه مورد .

اولی : بیاید امروزمون رو که میخواد به فردا تبدیل بشه یه مرور بکنیم البته این کار باید قبل از خوابیدن انجام بشه . (وقتی در رختخواب دراز کشیدیم)

تمام .

As I said that before , we should have a forward looking purpose . But how ? When we have some purposes in our  life ,  first we should provide ourselves an interest about the purpose and our main purposes . For example : you see a person with a lot of purposes but he or she just have these purposes not try for them because he or she doesn"t define the purpose for him or herself , so he had no interest about his purpose because he finds it hard to reach 

As I said , we should provide ourselves an interest and define the purpose and find the best ways to reach for our purposes . Otherwise if we don"t define the purpose , we find it hard to reach . For example : I wanna have a Benz ! How to have a Benz ? so I define my purpose after that , find some good ways to reach for my purpose , then I do those ways and finally I find my purpose easy to reach and try for it .

Evidently I wanna say my main meaning in just some lines : All of the people in the world should define their purposes and try the best ways to reach . Remember that , The best and easiest ways are near us but we don"t try them . I don"t know why

Hello everybody

Thanks again because of your presence

Dear Botanist, you mentioned motivation as an important factor in our life but I wanna add another thing … the fact is that motivation is somehow easy to gain but it’s hard to keep for a long time … the crux of the matter is here … how can we gain and keep this motivation, we are looking forward to hearing the answer from you.

Dear Chelsea, you said a really consequential thing about purpose; I do believe that we should define our goal so clearly and then with an organized planning and taking action we can reach our goal.

This is a piece of an article written by Steve Pavlina about how to triple our personal productivity.

Keep a detailed time log

The first step to better managing your time is to find out how you’re currently spending your time. Keeping a time log is a very effective way to do this, and after trying it for just one day, you’ll immediately gain tremendous insight into where your time is actually going. The very act of measuring is often enough to raise your unconscious habits into your consciousness, where you then have a chance to scrutinize and change them.

Here’s how to keep a time log. Throughout your day record the time whenever you start or stop any activity. Consider using a stopwatch to just record time intervals for each activity. You can do this during only your working time or throughout your entire day. At the end of the day, sort all the time chunks into general categories, and find out what percentage of your time is being spent on each type of activity. If you want to be thorough, do this for a week, and calculate the percentage of your total time that you spent on each type of activity. Be as detailed as possible. Note how much time you spend on email, reading newsgroups, web surfing, phone calls, eating, going to the bathroom, etc. If you get up out of your chair, it probably means you need to make an entry in your time log. I typically end up with 50-100 log entries per day.

You may be surprised to discover you’re spending only a small fraction of your working time doing what you’d consider to be actual work. Studies have shown that the average office worker does only 1.5 hours of actual work per day. The rest of the time is spent socializing, taking coffee breaks, eating, engaging in non-business communication, shuffling papers, and doing lots of other non-work tasks. The average full-time office worker doesn’t even start doing real work until 11:00 am and begins to wind down around 3:30pm.

Hello everybody and thank you dear Reza for the good topic you started

I got surprised that you translated your Pen name (towards sky) as names can not be converted, even though it was cool.

First of all, there is something ambitious here to me, and that is how to relate the title of topic (increasing the personal productivity) with its descriptions. Title sounds to me like more psychological matter rather than “how to use our time efficiently”. From your descriptions I think we can name it “time management” which is a truly crucial parameter in a successful life, but anyway I would prefer to talk about how I deal with the satiation that I have “feeling that I didn’t get as much done as I’d hoped”.

I am a quite punctual person when it comes to pre-planning everything and getting ready to face the coming conditions, even supposing that me, personally, have had this feeling in so many occasions that “I could be better” or “it might not be done if …”, and so on, therefore I think it is very natural to regret the past, but I always think that I am not going to get stuck in past, all I do is to take lesson of what went wrong and then to plan for the future, on the other words; I try utilizing of the mistakes to make a sort of bridge only to pass and not to sit there in the past and start moaning forever…

So if I want to summarize:

It is not very often that I do something and I later regret (I said the reason which is punctuality I guess), but it happens anyway and I rally think it is normal, since we are human beings

I am not stuck on it, and trying to get through a better future, making use of my former faults and mistakes.

Hello everybody

Thanks dear Researcher, that’s kind of you

You’re right dear, there was something ambitious for me too, actually we can relate these two matters with each other, I mean “Time management” and “Increasing our personal productivity”.

There might be so many factors in our life for increasing our personal productivity but one of the most important factors, maybe the most important, is time management. And I believe that every person, that achieve his purposes, knows at least a little about time management.

But to borrow a phrase of you about tackling at this feeling, “we should try utilizing of the mistakes to make a sort of bridge only to pass and not to sit there in the past and start moaning forever.”

PS: I really enjoyed of reading these beautiful sentences, thanks.

So Long
