Five Tips For Making Ideas Happen

Hello,
I went through a nice article “Five Tips For Making Ideas Happen” at www.smashingmagazine.com wrttrn by Scott Belsky. As author says We have so many great ideas, but most of them never see the light of day. Why do most ideas never happen? The reason is that our own creative habits get in the way.
I personally fount some of the points very true, so i am listing them down.

1. Avoid A Reactionary Workflow:
Without realizing it, most of us have gradually adopted a “reactionary workflow.” We are constantly bombarded with incoming communication: email, text messages, tweets, Facebook posts, phone calls, instant messages, etc. Rather than be proactive with our energy, we spend all of our energy reacting, enslaved to the last incoming item.

To avoid this reactionary workflow, some of the most productive people I have met schedule what can be called “windows of non-stimulation” in their day. For two to three hours per day, these people avoid email and all other incoming communication. In this time, they focus on their list of big items: not routine tasks, but long-term projects that require research and deep thought.

2. Reduce Your Insecurity Work
In the era of Google Analytics and Twitter, we spend too much time obsessing over real-time data because it’s all at our fingertips. Whether it’s your website’s traffic or bank account, checking these repeatedly doesn’t help make your ideas happen. They just make you feel “safe.” Insecurity work is stuff we do that (1) has no definable outcome, (2) does not move the ball forward in any way and (3) takes up so little time that we can do it multiple times a day without realizing it. Still, it puts us at ease.

The first step to reducing insecurity work is becoming self-aware. Identify the insecurity work in your daily life. The second step is to establish guidelines and rituals for yourself that create discipline. Perhaps you could try restricting all of your insecurity work to a particular 30 minutes every day? The third step, if applicable, is to delegate your insecurity tasks to a less insecure colleague, who can review the data periodically and report any concerns.

Info for persons Travelling in Auto Rickshaw in Mumbai

Good news for all those who had to travel in autos and also for those who had to bear all the nonsense’s of these autowallas.

We have already informed the traffic police about the problems which we used to face as daily commuters and they promised to arrange one of their people to Interface building between 6pm – 8pm.

Moreover request you to sit in the auto rickshaw without a word and ask them to take to your place and if at all they refuse to do the same kindly do not come out but whilst sitting in the auto immediately dial traffic control room’s number 24937755 / 24937746 / 24937747. Within 5 minutes the traffic police will reach and they can suspend auto rickshaw licenses.

Few Friends have tried yesterday and today from Malad station and it worked out…. If you are anywhere in Mumbai the above numbers will help you.
