Tips Menjaga Produktivitas


Menjaga Produktivitas
Master Agung Praptapa
               
                Sering hari berlalu begitu saja. Perjalanan waktu dari pagi sampai petang terasa cepat sekali.  Sayangnya, kita sering melalui hari-hari yang cepat tersebut tanpa hasil yang berarti. Memang terkadang kita sadar bahwa hidup rasanya tidak berarti kalau dari hari ke hari berikutnya kita lalui tanpa menghasilkan sesuatu yang berarti.  Kita sering sadar akan produktivitas diri.  Namun kita sering mengabaikannya.  Bahkan lebih sering mengabaikan peroduktitas diri dari pada sadarnya.  Bagaimana menjaga agar kita tetap produktif?
(1) Selalu ingat bahwa waktu itu terbatas
                Kita sering berpikir dan bertindak sangat santai seolah-olah waktu tidak akan berlalu.  Masih ada hari esok. Masih ada nanti.  Kita sering lupakan bahwa dalam satu hari kita hanya diberi jatah waktu 24 jam, satu minggu hanya 7 hari dan seterusnya. Sayangnya, kita sering mengabaikan keterbatasan waktu ini, sehingga kita tiba-tiba sadar bahwa kita belum sempat berbuat apa-apa padahal waktu sudah malam dan akan berganti hari berikutnya.

(2) Sadari bahwa waktu berjalan dengan kecepatan konstan dan tidak ada berhentinya
                Masih dengan waktu, kalaupun kita ingat bahwa waktu kita terbatas, kita masih sering lupakan bahwa waktu itu berjalan begitu cepat.  Tanpa istirahat. Tanpa berhenti.  Terus berjalan apapun yang terjadi.  Sedangkan kita?  Kita sering harus menghentikan pekerjaan karena suatu gangguan.  Ada tamu datang, ada telepon, kepala pusing, agak flu, dan berbagai alasan lain yang mengharuskan kita berhenti sejenak dari aktivitas kita.  Padahal waktu dengan “cool”nya tetap berjalan dengan kecepatan konstan tidak peduli apapun yang terjadi.   Jadi kita memang harus berpacu dengan waktu.  Waktu terus berjalan maka kita juga harus terus bergerak. 

(3) Ingatlah bahwa kita tidak selalu bisa begini
                Pada saat sehat, kita bisa berbuat apa saja. Tapi bagaimana saat kita sakit?  Pada saat kita kaya kita bisa membeli apa saja. Tapi bagaimana kalau kita sedang tidak punya uang?  Pada saat tidak ada gangguan kita bisa tenang bekerja. Tetapi bagaimana saat banyak gangguan disekitar kita? Anak menangis, isteri minta diantar belanja, rumah tetangga kebakaran? Ini semua akan membuat kita dipaksa meluangkan waktu untuk melakukan hal-hal yang diluar rencana kita.  Ini manusiawai, tetapi kita harus bisa memanaj sebaik-baiknya.  Intuk itulah maka selagi bisa jangan ditunda.

(4) Selalu waspada akan perubahan
                Sering apa yang sudah kita rencanakan sebaik-baiknya meleset tidak bisa kita kerjakan karena adanya perubahan dari pihak lain.  Tiba-tiba pesawat ditunda, tiba-tiba ada perubahan peraturan, tiba-tiba kurs mata ang berubah tajam sehingga rencana kita tidak bisa berjalan dengan mulus.  Untukitulah maka kita harus selalu waspada terhadap kemungkinan adanya perubahan.  Untuk itulah selalu lakukan seseuatu pada kesempatan pertama karena apa yang terjadi esok hari masih belum pasti.

(5) Sadari bahwa energi kita terbatas
                Kita tidak selalu memiliki energi yang sama dari waktu ke waktu.  Pagi hari mungkin kita lebih segar sehingga kita bisa bekerja dengan lebih cepat.  Namun bisa saja pada malam hari kita sudah mengantuk dan energi kita tidak seprima pagi hari. Pada saat stamina sudah mulai menurun tentunya produktivitas menjadi terganggu.  Untuk itulah maka selalu save energy. Hemat energy. Saat energi masih prima jangan gunakan untuk memikirkan atau melakukan hal-hal yang kurang atau tidak berguna.

(6) Ciptakan sense of urgency
                Kita akan tergerak untuk melakukan sesuatu yang mendesak.  Saat rumah kita terbakar pasti kita akan segera tergerak untuk memadamkan api.  Saat gempa datang kita pasti akan menyegerakan diri untuk berlindung.  Jadi apa yang sangat mendesak secara otomatisakan menggerakkan kita untuk mendahulukannya.  Bagaimana apanila tidak ada yang mendesak? Nah ini problemnya.  Saat kita merasa tidak ada yang mendesak kita sering terpancing untuk tidak melakukan apa-apa. Untuk itulah kita harus mampu menciptakan “perasaan mendesak” atau “sense of urgency”.  Sayangnya,  yang sering terjadi malah sebaliknya, banyak hal penting yang kita abaikan sehingga menjadi tidak penting. Ini akan membahayakan diri kita sendiri saat kita dihadapkan kenyataan bahwa hal tersebut benar-benar penting dan mendesak.
                Ingin selalu produktif? Selalu ingat bahwa waktu itu terbatas, sadari bahwa waktu berjalan dengan kecepatan konstan dan tidak ada berhentinya, ingatlah bahwa kita tidak selalu bisa begini,  selalu waspada akan perubahan, sadari bahwa energi kita terbatas, dan ciptakan sense of urgency.

Trump Top Ten Rules of Success

My Top Ten Rules of Success
by Donald J. Trump

If you've heard me speak, you may have noticed I emphasize several things repeatedly - never give up is one, being passionate is another, keeping focused is up there, and keeping your momentum runs a close fourth. I've learned those things from experience.


Here's the complete top 10 list I give when I speak at colleges:

1. Never give up! Do not settle for remaining in your comfort zone. Remaining complacent is a good way to get nowhere.

2. Be passionate! If you love what you're doing, it will never seem like work.

3. Be focused!Ask yourself: What should I be thinking about right now? Shut out interference. In this age of multitasking, this is a valuable technique to acquire.

4. Keep your momentum! Listen, apply and move forward. Do not procrastinate.

5. See yourself as victorious! That will focus you in the right direction.

6. Be tenacious! Being stubborn can work wonders.

7. Be lucky! The old saying, "The harder I work, the luckier I get" is absolutely right on.

8. Believe in yourself! If you don't, no one else will either. Think of yourself as a one-man or one-woman army.

9. Ask yourself: What am I pretending not to see? There may be some great opportunities right around you, even if things aren't looking so great. Great adversity can turn into great victory.

10. Look at the solution, not the problem. And never give up! Never never never give up. This thought deserves to be said (and remembered and applied) many times. It's that important.

Good luck!

Mae West

“Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force, that thoughts rule the world.”
Emerson

“I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experiences behind him.”
Eleanor Roosevelt

“First, don’t go to bed angry, this may take some work, but it is worth it…Anger is heavy. It is a big deal to carry. If you have it on your shoulders when you go to sleep, it will still be there when you wake up. When you let your anger go, you lighten up. The same is true for every painful emotion- regret, guilt, shame, jealousy, and all the rest of them. Let them go before you sleep.”
Gary Zukav

“The mind of man is capable of anything - because everything is in it, all the past as well as the future.”
Joseph Conrad

“Do all the good you can,
By the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as you can.”
John Wesley

Elbert Hubbard

“The world’s distorted concept is that you have to get other people’s love before you can feel love within. The law of love is different from the world’s law. The law of love is that you are love, and that as you give love to others you teach yourself what you are.”
Gerald Jampolsky, MD

“It is extremely rare to find a successful person that whines, complains, and frets about her circumstances. This is despite the fact that she may have overcome great obstacles to achieve her level of success. The real question is: What came first-the attitude or the success? The answer in virtually all cases is that the winning, positive attitude came first, followed by a lifetime of abundance.”
Richard Carlson, PhD.

“Relief from fear, guilt, anger, depression or doubt signals movement towards recovery. Relief means a lifted spirit, a happier, healthier, more positive outlook and attitude. An increase in positive feelings such as fun, joy, humor, and happiness and a decrease in negative feelings indicate that a wave of recovery has begun.”
James Loehr, Ed.D.

“Almost always people fail not because they lack the possibility of inner strength, but because they just don’t give it all they got. They hold back a little bit.”
Dr. Norman Vincent Peale

“Feelings are our most helpful link to our relationship with ourselves, others, and the world around us, and they are an indication of what’s working or not working within our lives. Shutting them off only leads to more complex problems and physical illness. What you can feel, you can heal.”
Louise Hay

“Possibilitizing means imagining, visualizing, praying, multiplying, overcoming, anticipating, toughening, maneuvering, rebounding, and overpowering the problem.”
Dr. Robert Schuller

“Think about your favorite activity for a moment. When you are really enjoying something you like, how do you feel? As you listen to your favorite music, with full attention, other thoughts and desires fade away. You are simply in the moment. This is contentment-peace.”
