What The Road System Makes Me Realize…

RoadComparing today and yesterday’s trip to fetch my wife after a training class, I found that traveling on the same road on both days can varies in the time taken to arrive at the destination.

Yesterday, I left office at about 7.00 PM. and reach to the destination on 8.00 PM. It takes 1 hour for me to reach there. And today, the same road, but leaving office at 5.00 PM, I’ve reach there at 5.15 PM.

In my quest of saving time from unnecessary wastage, I’m wondering that just by traveling at different times can save me a big amount of time (and money too). Isn’t this interesting?!

Over the past few months, I’ve been trying different timing of starting my journey to and from my home and office. Observing the amount of time spent with different combination, I’m trying to work out a pattern.

338505_logbookPattern is used by human to predict outcomes from a given set of inputs. The more complete the pattern, the better the prediction model is. So, similarly for success, if we are in the journey to discover the pattern that works for us, we will eventually make it to our destination by applying the right sequence of variables.

Would you agree? That patterns to success does exists.

How I Escaped from Robbers

clock
I was almost taken down by the robbers. Worst still, it is so near to me and is invisible. So, it’s hard to fight. I did struggle for a few years and now it is easier since I’ve found a few tricks under my sleeves.
Here are some of the invisible time robbers
  1. Things that I do repeatedly
  2. Things that I don’t like to do
  3. Skills I need to acquire just to do it once or twice (non-mainstream skills)
  4. Things that comes in unexpectedly
  5. Things that took more time because of no-planning
  6. Micro sleeps
  7. Traveling
