Most people are too busy to think. Futile as it might seem, but we are often too busy to engage in productive thinking. Even though we know, that thinking can be equivalent to months of laborious work.
Why do we find pitiful excuses such as routines and restrains to alter the schedule, instead of spending time to think? One should know that evading from thinking is often a steady cause of accumulating parades of unfolding stress events. If we would engage ourselves in focused thinking, life would be less stressful.
In reality, people spend more time planning and forecasting their death than their current lives. Why is that so? It is because our current lives are thought by planners. They are known as retirement planners, financial planners, life insurance persons or estate planners. They find wonderful solutions like how to reduce taxes on real estates, how to protect business and other financial as well as human considerations.
Interestingly, the laborious planning is all connected to our death. The consultant planners are resourceful and clever. They tend to examine an evolution in respect to how society evolves. However, a completely new industry is emerging as longevity research is enhancing our lives. Therefore, in the modern society would it not be better to plan for a longer life instead for our own death.
Now reverting to the key point, thinking saves time. Someone should try for at least a month to make an effort to be isolated in silence away from email, phones calls, household and office disturbance for an hour for days per week.
Now, take a pen and a paper and list the most compelling challenges and goals. This will widen your mind, and now you can start to think peacefully. Keep on listing ideas and you will see solution popping-up.
Go to the extent of thinking of the future – what do you want to achieve in fifty or seventy years or even beyond that. As you are in this line of thoughts, you will start taking measures to assure that you live longer. This includes dieting and fitness programs.
Once you have brainstormed on everything then ACT immediately upon these facts. This is how you can make one hour of thinking tantamount to more than a month of hard work.
