Work – but with informed conditions & consents!

     When you do a work for others, first ask them whether they actually need your working with them or not, and whether they will accept your work and its end products. And then inform them about your skills and conditions, get their specifications and expectations out of your work. Only you and those 'others' agree mutually for the work. Next, you should get the consent from them for your work. Only after all these you should proceed to work for them. This avoids any dispute or frustration arising on both sides. Instead of these, if you do any work on your own for others without discussing with them, it is needless to say that you should also expect rejection from their side and be prepared to feel sorrow and to have frustration out of it – apart from wasting your precious time.

Work to meet challenges in life!

    When we do a work with all our concentration towards it, that too with total involvement and interest in it, we forget about the whole outer space surrounding us and also the inner space of us – our body and mind. So, here our concern, tension, fear and worries about our family, body and mind are taken out from us – though temporarily. Such relieving us of our burdens and thereby giving us a fresh hope in our life are guaranteed after doing that work. Thus it relieves our tension and prepares us to face the challenges in life boldly!

Get a Good memory by changing the work!

      If you go on doing daily routine works repeatedly, you shall feel them becoming laborious. And you may also have the tendency to forget the materials, thoughts and even reminders that you have had in your mind just a few hours back! For not having such forgetfulness, do first a new targeted work every day (plan ahead the previous day itself to carry out it). And then, do change the type of works and the order of the works in the daily routine spread over within the working hours. Change also the places of doing such works, if possible. This will make your daily routine works easy and pleasant as active as in your younger years, and shall give you a good memory power, and freshen up your mind at each of your works!

Do that work first and ensure safety!

    Whenever you are planning to do an important work, do only that one and do not mix it with many more other unimportant works. After doing that important work exclusively, return back the valuable documents of it and place them safely in their respective places of safety. And only after this, go and do the other works. This routine practice if carried out and continued without any lapse, it shall ensure the safety of your valuable documents.

Change routine to refresh!

       Do not do the same routine activities daily after returning home from office work; either change the order of doing them or do new unplanned activities that shall be creative to yourself and others. It shall also refresh you!

De-addicting from the addicting hobby!

      Hobby is doing the desired work at one's leisure time. But if one is desirous to continue it even into his routine works time, it becomes an addiction to that hobby work. To dissuade from it, one should refuse it now to himself and postpone it to a later time or a later day. But on that very postponed time/day he must distract or divert himself to another routine work in a different place at a distance from that hobby-site. Next time if he gets again that desire, he must restrain himself again by diverting as before. Soon he will begin to feel the better aspects of not doing that addicting hobby that is done without any time consciousness. Then, even when he returns back to it later on, he will do it only in his leisure time! And he won't do it beyond any set limit; he shall restrict himself within his leisure time. And he shall have become then totally de-addicted from that addicting hobby!

Storing time for later use!

        We cannot save our time as saving our money in the bank. But you can divide and plan your time and allot yourself each unit of it to do your works and/to get the pleasures out of them. But you cannot preserve and save the present unused time and do the work in it later on. Once you are 'present' at this time of earthly hours, as others are present, you should either use it or pass through it wasted and unused. Thus you cannot stop it now and/to have it later on to use it! So, you shall have to 'have' your 'presence' with your total involvement, and that too with total awareness/consciousness in any work, that you might do within it. Here, you do the work feeling the passing away of time. Then only you shall have the memory of having used your valuable time usefully, without any regrets. By doing like this, you can also have all the benefits out of 'having the time of existence' in this world i.e. your life. Do not postpone work. Time doesn't have any future availing utility; use it wisely now itself!   

Benefits of yoga!

Yoga lifts you to a higher level of preparedness to do anything. It makes you healthy and to have higher energies to do any involved work in a deeper level, or for a longer period! Then why can't you try it? Try it and share your experience here. 

Do or delegate work!

Do not believe in others who are either adamant or forgetful or dull headed; they won't do what all we wish or advise them to do for us. So, do not trust and depend on them. Instead do the work yourself or delegate it to others who are trustworthy in doing that work.

The dawning of wisdom!

When a work, that is done in a stupid way out of ignorance, reveals the fact to the person, and the person understands the fact now and begins to do that work in a proper, good and approved way, there dawns the wisdom in him/her!

It's Tamil version:
"இதுவரை விஷயம், விவரம் தெரியாது மடத்தனமாக செயல்புரிந்து, பின், உண்மை புரிந்து சரியான வழியில் செயல்பட ஆரம்பிக்கும்போது அங்கே உதயமாவதுதான் 'அறிவு' என்பது!"

Checking for your work's worthiness!

Ask yourself these questions before starting to do a work or in the midst of carrying it out. If you do so and evaluate it, you shall infer much from it and shall decide whether to continue to do it or stop it forthwith.

Am I correctly oriented, careful and involved in the work?
Do I do this present work to my satisfaction?
Is it valuable to me?
Is it a most respected one for the relatives, friends and others?
Does this work affect my health?
Does it cause damage to my property and other belongings?
Is it the most important and useful one to me and to others?
Is it important to do it at the present time and situation?

Get suitable ones and be healthy!

Search and get things or the work that you desire or that suits you. And use that thing or do that work to the limit of your capacity. This makes both your body and the mind healthy, avoiding anything unnecessarily overloading you.

Learn and choose in work to continue or avoid!

In every activity, we must first learn or infer something - either to do it or not to do it. If we are rewarded in it, we must continue with it; but we must avoid it if we are affected by it. If it is not then possible to avoid it, you can adjust with others in doing that work at present, sharing the difficulties. If it continues to affect you even then, discontinue it and shift to another work that you expect to be more rewarding and gratifying.

Wasting resting time working as a slave!

After returning from our day's work we sit before either computer or TV screen in our leisure time. But at the end of such watching much after much, we find all our leisure time exhausted and that it often extends beyond it - reducing our interaction with the family members. These time-wasting devices make ourselves a slave by making us to do more tasks by their prompting and commanding instructions/ads displayed on their screens! Our resting time is thus wasted by working hard at home. Such working hard in a tired state may predispose one to diseases also.

Feel satisfied in work to get sleep!

While doing any work (e.g. eating), apart from making your muscles work, get also comforting sensation through your senses out of it; and feel satisfied in that work. This is the correct way to uplift your soul and get a good night's sleep!

Becoming skilled by proper use!

Getting full knowledge and its proper and timely application in one's work makes him/ her skilled in it and this rewards him/ her always with benefits, awards and appreciation.

Stop being excessive!

As middle age crawls in, persons have to be careful in caring for health of their body and mind. A machine or a vehicle is thrown out as rubbish once it becomes worn out. But the God has granted us with the power of repairing and maintaining our body. Ignoring it, we must not do excessive work or load mind with excessive worries or thoughts that may wreck the invaluable mechanism of repairing and maintaining our body and mind. So, either stop being excessive or postpone such work or thoughts to a later date - to do or have them one by one!

Question, decide and get out!

If you find no time at mornings before getting out to do regular work, but want to do some extra work, read here:

Ask yourself the following.
1) Is it important and essential to do that work?
2) Is it the proper time to do that work?
3) Is there possibility to extend the allotted time for that work and that could it become more time consuming?
Find answers for them and decide on this and do it / don't do it.

If you are already in doing that work (without any such decision), ask yourself these additional questions after those said above:
1) Is there any time to complete that work?
2) Will it affect the daily routine work?
3) Is it a waste of time at doing such a work?
If answers to these later questions are No, Yes and Yes respectively, stop that work immediately and get out of it, to get out!

Pleasing work makes you intact!

If you do a work that is not pleasing, it makes only your mind dull. But if you continue to do it on and on, then your body also becomes dull and tired. During all the period of such continuing it you become like a machine or a zombie! So, move out of it to the pleasing work as soon as possible to regain your own body and mind.

Alert yourself and others too!

In doing a routine to get out for work at morning, one should prepare himself for it at the previous day evening itself. This will lessen the burden at morning. Moreover his getting out is not entirely dependent on him only, but also on those other inmates of the house, who prepare for and make his getting out easier and in time! So, the person should also alert beforehand those inmates to do their preparatory work in time, so that he could get out in time.
