Ever woke up on an off day/ weekend with so much time in the day to spare, only to laze off, indulge in some aimless activities and then realise that it's evening and soon to be night time? The day just pass by without you knowing it.
To prevent this from happening and to make your day more productive, we must make a conscious effort to make the mind work in our favor. To prevent the mind from going into auto-pilot mode and engaging in unconstructive activities, e.g. aimless surfing of web/ social media/ youtube, continuous gaming, long hours watching TV, we can repeat this phrase in our head, "I want to achieve something today".
You need not specify what is the something you wish to achieve because your logical mind can take control and tell you what are the possible achievements. Every time you feel like lazing off and going back to that auto-pilot mode, you can repeat this phrase to bring yourself back and reignite the momentum. You will find that your day will be spent in a more productive way with less regrets that you could have spent it better.
With social media, addictive games coming into our lives, we may soon get swept away and end up losing precious time to do something more important. Every minute of our lives is a gift, there will be time to relax but there must also be time to achieve and bring value to the people around us. Ultimately, Life is a balance.
Wishing all fellow Singapore friends a Happy National Day and may you enjoy a fun holiday ahead :)
