Reflect back and plan ahead

Planning and organising oneself is an underrated, overlooked skill in the modern world. In a world of instant gratification, 'get rich quick' schemes, '3 month weight loss programs' and click-baity stuff gets the most attention. But the problem is that results do not stick. They are not designed to stick but to steal your valuable currencies - your attention(time) and money.

Most of you are overworked. Either aimlessly slogging days and nights or towards a goal which is not truly yours. Living from weekend to weekend is a common norm. TGIF, Monday blues, living for the weekend are common everyday slangs which you never pause to ponder upon if this is how you want to live.

When was the last time you sat down with yourself and asked yourself any of these questions?

• What games am I playing?

• What am I trying to win at?

• Is the game worth winning?

• Am I playing the right games?

In a noisy, complex world where everyone is trying to steal your attention and your money, reflecting back and planning ahead will help you live your life consciously.
