Enemies that recede your mind getting into a flow state

1. Multitasking

Most people think multitasking is a great habit. But being a multitasker doesn't make you limitless in any way. Research says multitasking makes you less productive. you are going to get to the flow state only when you focus on only one task at a time.

2. Stress

Stressors are more likely to ambush you and would not let you get into the flow state. Do one thing to deal with the stressors; first is to ask yourself before starting any task if there are any stressors that need to be addressed before the task. If the answer is yes, do that first. If the answer is no, then go ahead with your task. Most stressors we have in our life don't need our immediate attention and they aren't going to be getting worse in two hours. 

3. Fear of failure

Chief of psychology today writes "perfection reduces creativity and innovation". You won't really excel in a situation where you are constantly evaluating your work and fearing any possible imperfections then you are n

4. Lack of conviction

Calming your mind

It's really important to have whitespace for your mind to work at an optimal level. Distractions are a time sink. According to Juliet funt, the CEO of consulting firm whitespace at work, whitespace is "the thinking time" and a strategic pause that's between the busyness. 
She quotes " whitespace as the oxygen that allows everything else to catch fire. A study from university college London compared the brain of heavy media multitaskers with those of light multitaskers and found that the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) which is responsible for focus, was smaller among the former group.  
A study from the University of California Irvine shows  "you have to completely shift your thinking, it takes you a while to get back and remember where you were". It takes an average of 23 minutes and 15 seconds to get back to the task. That's more than 20 minutes every time you are distracted.

Homeschooler's science fair 2021

Karachi homeschoolers arranged a science fair of its own kind every year. But since COVID-19 hit it was all halted. Today on 6 November I got to attend the fair. It was enormously beautiful in the sense that each child's individuality was enhanced through their science masterpiece. Every child was confident and patient enough to explain it to others. The environment was lively. There was a catapult, digestive system, the evolution of writing, therapeutic herbs, volcano eruption, mirror games, circuits, and a few others that I couldn't catch because I arrived late. Congratulations Homeschoolers!!!

دنیا جنت نہیں بن سکتی۔۔

اگر میں آپ سے یہ کہوں کہ یہ زندگی ایک امتحان مسلسل ہے تو آپ کو اس جملے سے کوئی فرق نہیں پڑنے والا۔ کیونکہ زندگی میں آپ یہ جملہ اتنا زیادہ سن چکے ہوتے ہیں کہ اسکی گہرائی اور افادیت سے بے حس ہو جاتے ہیں۔   مگر ایک خاص چیز کی طرف آپ کی توجہ دلانا چاہوں گی کہ سورہ عنکبوت میں اللہ فرماتے ہیں کیا لوگ یہ سمجھتے ہیں کہ وہ صرف اتنا کہنے پر چھوڑ دئے جائیں گے کہ " ہم ایمان لائے اور انکی آزمائش نہیں ہوگی" ؟   اس سورہ کا زندگی کے ایک مسلسل امتحان ہونے سے کیا تعلق ہے؟   یہ سورہ شروع ہوتی ہے " الم" سے جسکے بارے میں ہم یہ جانتے ہیں کہ اس کہ معنی اللہ کہ سوا کوئی نہیں جانتا اور اللہ تعالی نے قصداً انسانوں سے اسکے معنی پوشیدہ کھے ہیں۔   اس لفظ "الم" سے ہمیں دو نقطوں کی طرف اشارہ ملتا ہے ایک یہ کہ دنیا میں ہمارے ساتھ ہونے والی ہر چیز کی منطق ، معنی اور گہرائی کا ہمیں علم ہونا ضروری نہیں ہے۔۔۔ اور دوسرا یہ   اس کہ معنی کو جاننا ہماری موجودہ زندگی کو گزارنے کہ مقصد میں مدد نہیں دیتا۔   اس لئے ہمیں ہر چیز کی مصلحت میں گھسنا نہیں چاہئے، اللہ نے جو جیسے دیا ہے اسے قبو...
