It might have happened to you that the more you want to stay engaged on these devices the more they are drained in charge. Can you draw any parallels here? Let me tell you what's cooking inside. When you are lacking the energy you put off all your work stuff aside and start scrolling through your devices. And eventually, you drain your phone's battery entirely in no time. This now forms loops no matter how hard you try to prevent it, you won't find either your phone's battery or your energy going up or persisting the amount of energy/charge required.
How does this affect you.?
It's simple, the world today has designed itself to pull you out/away from your ongoing work within an instant. The facilitation of procrastination is what comes into play.
What can possibly be the solution?
As said by numerous research scholars our attention span today is close to 30-40 seconds. The Revolutionary neuroscientist Mel Robbins proclaims a quick solution to procrastination. According to her if you don't feel like working/studying, tell yourself that you only need to continue for 5 more minutes. Researchers have concluded that 80℅
Of you will continue and finish the ongoing task.
To elaborate it we need to understand the 5-second rule invented by Mel Robbins. According to Mel, you can activate your conscious mind to focus on your ongoing work. Close your eyes, start counting down from 5 to 1. Most of us will be able to activate our prefrontal cortex( the part responsible for making conscious decisions) till we reach 3. And as you reach 1 open your eyes and you will feel the difference. The web of the web is more vicious for your mind than you can even think of. It manipulates your decision-making tendency thereby pulling you towards itself for its own self-interests.
You might find it hard to believe but the world has developed marketing strategies beyond a layman's imagination. Recall your last visit to a superstore. After every visit, you most often find yourself having spent more than you expected or having bought more goods than expected.
Ever wondered why?
Each and every product and their serial order in rows and columns are shelved based on years of research in the field of psychology and marketing together. This is how your mind gets tricked.
Our minds are designed and hardwired to pull us away from anything that it considers different, painful, difficult or dangerous. Rather it is designed to keep you intact in your comfort zone(s).
Great going Faisal. Read your writing on Tranquility and enjoyed the acrostic poem
