Focus on winning sessions of matches you play!

By Bamboo In The Wind

To focus on actual results, the best approach is to focus on the nearest work. Just next to you. 

Operating in the vicinity is fraught with focusing on the micro instead of the macro canvas. And, micro canvas makes you uncomfortable. 

In microenvironments, everything appears just here, within reach. You are called out to begin painting. You have to get started unguarded. It gives a feeling of a constraining environment that requires you here and now. To be in the present and flow with your imagination. You feel kind of exposed. 

Your worries are justified. What if you leave the micro canvas over or under-utilized? What if you made irreversible mistakes? What if you disappoint yourself. What if you let anyone else down? Justified. But often stalling. Fear grips you. Stay there until it doesn't. The sky clears, and thinking prevails!

That opens the door of possibility. It is an imaginary door that unlocks only with a key of fearlessness. You begin to believe that the micro canvas is large enough, and you can pick a section of the canvas and make an attempt.

You make mental markings such that you apply yourself in sections. The micro that looked scary at first now looks engagement worthy. Much better than the chaotic whole (macro) that you could hide within. Micro now leaves the room for experiments and recoveries. 

The discovery that the small sections received your attention brings more composure. You now focus on the next with flowing ideas of extending and expanding from the initial ones.

Everywhere we look, it is the same. Whether achieving comfortable progress in schools, business, arts, music, hobbies, or sports. To achieve something substantial, you need something small and attainable. It brings control and agency back to you.

No point in focusing on the entire match. Instead, find how to can convert smaller sessions. The confidence to extend your lead into the next one follows right after.

Focusing on sessions is a habit of exposing you to an uncomfortable microenvironment that requires a relatively simple approach. Exposing yourself to everyday work!

Doing seemingly straightforward, routine work, taking it up as it comes, and daily duties will earn you unexpected rewards.

You might be surprised where it lands you!

Checks and balances!

By Bamboo In The Wind
Defining a good purpose, setting a target goal and getting people working on them is usually not enough! There are too many aspects involved in getting the results we want. For example, there is an aspect of painting the big picture, working on motivation management, productivity tracking, building experimentation labs, and erecting resilient systems that systematize the workflows. Just putting bodies to work and defining milestones rarely achieves the right results. The other aspects that help march towards the milestones in an orderly manner, they are equally important. At the very least, they make objectives widely understandable and results more attainable. The job of a thought leader is to enable progress and enable recovery. Therefore, it is never enough to have just ideas. Those with ideas also have the responsibility to assemble the work environment in such a way as to create situations containing the energy disperses. Energy dispersal from lack of clarity, loss of motivation, ...

Liked? Or Respected?

By Bamboo In The Wind
It is easy to bend backwards and accomodate others. When you do so, it is obvious to generate affection that leads to you being likeable. You tend to be always available, seek others' attention more that what your needs are for yourself, or do things to transactionally connect with others. As long as you continue doing what others prefer, you are sure to be liked! And who does not like to liked like that! People pleasing acts have huge downsides. It is different when you set boundaries, take a principled stand about when do you indulge with collaborative activity involving others and when you focus on your priorities. Principles drive energies, brings rigor and sets responsibilities. It is governed with consistency and you come across that uniform, thought and consistent in any and every situation as against preferential. Obviously, principled person is hard to pierce into. When you do, you will discover rythem of clear communication, prioritisation, importance of building long-ter...

Own it!

By Bamboo In The Wind
Owning is an act of proactive work.  You own through willingness and willingness emerges as a result of feeling the sense of belonging. Initiative helps define baby steps that gives you access to responsibility. Responsibility allows you to take actions that give you the power to influence but never control the outcomes. However, this act of taking baby steps eventually lets us be owners - of our own decisions. Owning vital responsibility usually results in desired results and happiness for yourselves or owning responsibility can sometimes mean taking an arduous endless path to make those around you happy. The best you can do is to own your decisions and accept the outcomes you get.
