New Change management

Driving change is business's oldest function. In fast moving changes, you have complexities to manage both systems and processes and flexibility of work. Corona has changes many things. Distributed work places has given advantages too for knowledge workers. Life cycle of business has reduce drastically. If a business to survive more than two generations, it needs many things like loyal employees, technology addiction, political well wishes, and visionary leaders , along with many other things.

Hyper focus – Key to productivity

Brain has tendency to move around. Autopilot is default game. We keep moving arount hurt, pain, loss, or dreams. It is easy for brain to do it. Focus on one thing is difficult. That’s why multi tasking so easy. In mobile world, attention deficit is so common. With age time barriers reduces so we feel lost what to do what not to do.

Here are some thoughts on it

Why Retirement is so difficult?

Private journey is full of transactions and projects. We jump from one project to another, one company to another in entire time line. That happens in safe zone of private employers. Unaware of many environmental shocks , we live 9 to 5 job and do it consistently over and over.

In end, we find big transition point – THE RETIREMENT. I remember a movie scene from Shawshank Redemption, A Librarian did suicide after retirement. His mind could not accept the change from transaction after transaction to do nothing.

Productivity and thoughts

Productivity is mind game. Some are more effective , some look effective, and some are just busy. Result matters and it matters in right direction. Meditation can be one solution to scan through daily time schedule and Making it more meaningful. Lets discuss factors that affects out productivity.

Optimize the consciousness

Productivity is not time optimization. It is mindfully living. Consciousness has habit of slipping away. Our thoughts are one kind of sense. Like good food, it has habit of slipping in daydreaming, hating someone, breaking head against wall, or addictions. Energy meant for larger good ends in wasteful life. Lets discuss wastage of awareness

1)     Addiction : We all are addicted. It is hard to ignore it. Video game, Netflix, mobile, or Television series we all have our own addiction. It is waste of effort and time. Energy is meant for larger good.

Consciousness and Productivity

Productivity has less link with time and more with consciousness. Attention has big thing to do. Unfocussed efforts are good in transactions. But most good work needs attention. That’s why low pay jobs or transactional jobs are so robotics. They are tiring too, physically. Jobs which requires thinking and review need lot of attention to detail, not only for work being done but also how it can be done. It is productive zone.

Emotions and Stress

All emotions are playing in extreme. We are loving too much, hating too much. Feeling exausted and tired. IN cave era, we were more happy. We have less choices. We were more satisfied. Now in era of over-trigger or over-race. Over trigger means more productivity. More race to fill time ahead. More goals and more expectations to get more from people and things. 

Are we designed for it ? Are we on verge of collapse ? No one know its impact on our conciousness. Though we have adopted the culture of changes with ease, but now changes are happening at very fast speed.
