There are so many things going through my mind right at this moment. It's amazing how much stuff flies through my mind every second. How much would my hike be this year? Why the heck can't I copy a movie on my laptop without getting this "cyclic redundancy check" error (btw any ideas..)? I should definitely call this friend of mine today. Now I am suddenly staring at the white blinking light of my external drive.
Wow! But do you know what I am really trying to do right now? I am just trying to write a post for my blog but all hell has broken loose in my mind. The task at hand has taken the back seat and everything else is playing musical chair on the front seat.
Multi-tasking sucks! Heck, I am not even multi-tasking here. I am just trying to write a post but the mind is just switching between other channels. I guess the mind tries to fit in as many things as possible during a single moment in time. Is that the nature of the beast? Maybe it is, however it doesn't at all look worthwhile to do more than one thing at a time.
Keep it real, bro! That would be my advice to my mind. The real deal lies in the simplicity of things around us. The simpler the better it turns out to be. Complexity brings chaos and there is already too much of it around us to even think to add more.
This is an even crucial for a writer; professional or novice. The mind is too self-judging during the process of writing. Things like, 'is it good enough?', 'am I making sense?', 'this is a total piece of s***!' and other useless thoughts seem to hover around when writing. It is during this time courage and self-faith should be applied. Tell the mind it is okay to be ordinary.
I would rather be real and simple than unreal and complex. This would be my choice any day of life. For in the art of keeping it real lays the art of true living. Indian cricketer, Rahul Dravid, is having a crappy time in Australia (like rest of the Indian cricket team). It was reported in media he is reading John Medina's 'Brain Rules'.
I do hope Rahul Dravid can apply some of the principles of the book so India can save face (at least a bit) by winning the last test match. Ahh...I hope I am not kidding myself! Anyways, the point is one of the rules from the book interprets 'Multi-tasking is a myth'. You can see a funny video from the author here:
The rest of the rules can be seen in a very interactive feature available in Robert Medina's website. Rahul Dravid is a true follower of 'keeping it real'. He respects his strengths and weaknesses. He is ready to work on his weaknesses without losing focus on his strengths. It was through another article on Dravid, I found the book 'Tough Times Never Last but Tough People Do' by Robert Schuller. Another gem of a book. I know he will last but I do hope India wins the last test match in Australia!
