Policy for life

I am writing on this blog after long time. Not because I didn’t have time but I used to think I do not have time. I didn’t have time but not because I had lot to do rather I was not organized. If you are too busy in your life and keep complaining that does not have time for anything and this is affecting your family life also then it is high time to rethink. Because everybody has same 24 hours and they are enjoying their life well then why you have this problem; there is something wrong in your life. There might be the case that you have been mixing your personal or professional life. And the major problem that I have observed or think that if you do not follow the discipline then things goes wrong. For example if you do not have discipline then you will get up late and then you will delay you office and since you have not come on time you will go home late. Consequently will try to postpone all you work in night and then will affect your routine. Similarly because of your lack of discipline you will encroach your profession life because of personal life emergency or vice versa. And then life go on like these only and you don’t mind making mistake because you know that I have sufficient time…aaj nahi to kal kar lenge…thik hai aaj ghar nahi jayenge…think hai parents ke saath ya wife ke saath thoda kam samay bitayenge….but you really don’t know that how will it result. Since you have encroached you personal life with some other emergency that has been created out of your wrong habit; one day your personal life will be demanding or come in urgent situation. Then you will encroach in your professional life and the circle continues.

If you closely observe you situation then you will find out that almost all of us are victim of this problem. Since we do not have the discipline in our life and we keep committing mistake or overruling the life. It is similar to the problem of a company who does not have the policy in place. And since policy is not in place then company takes decisions as per the situation and hence some time decision taken for one instance contradict the decision of another instance with different situation. And the basic reason is that there is no policy in place. Now compare the situation of a company whose policy is in place. Now every decision has the reference from the policy.

Same applies in our life also. If we put some policy in place life would be much easier. For example if we decide to go for sleep max at 11 pm whatever be the situation, then you will not carry forward your work in the night and then when you have to face the consequence you will try to schedule your work on time. (Here I don’t say if anything comes which is so urgent that you will not delay your sleep –do it but not always and for everything). Again decide at least once in a week will spend 4 hours with family and decide the day; you will plan your work accordingly and will not defer this thing which may further affect your life.

So the take away of this discussion can be deice a policy for your life- from the perspective of your profession, family, self (will spare two hours in a week for self- it will help you to plan yourself. Organize the self and do things what you really passionate about), society. Put this policy with day wise specification like this thing on Monday or thins thing on Sunday, and if possible by time also i.e. will go to sleep everyday around 11 pm. Once the policy is decided, visit your policy everyday and implement it. You will see the change. Slowly you will see your life has been organized and focused also, as you will not have enough time to anything- irrespective of the relevance to your life/career.
