It was just day before yesterday, to today, that is 18.01.2011. I wake up early around 7am, when I have slept pretty late the night before that. I wake up to realise, I just 25 more days to go before I turn 24, & as per my expectations I have loads to do, before I turn 24, to be able to look back in pride at my life.
I push myself hard. Switch on my new LENOVO Y560 laptop (4GB Ram, 2.5GB dedicated graphics card(PHEW!!! WHOA!!!), 500GB Hard Disk, Core i5 Processor, windows 7, 2.5GHz processor speed) & am awed by the feature which my previous laptop never had - the sticky notes. I just love them. I used to have them all over my table before. This time I had them all over my laptop home screen.
I realised, I had too many TO-DO lists on my home screen of the laptop. I realised I needed a separate to-do list for all to-do lists. There were whopping 160+ things to be completed, pretty sizeable in nature of tasks. Unbelievable multi-tasking, management including delegation, monitoring, doing things & getting things done. Prioritizing, accomplishing, co-ordinating, adjusting, handling, cancelling, scheduling, rescheduling, promoting, pushing, doing, getting it done, communicating, calling, typing, organising, updating, searching etc..
As I continued with the work, with my ear phones on, throughout the day, till afternoon and early evening till 4pm, I had continuous calls with associates all across. Calls, e-Mails, writing, reading, analysing, deciding, delegating... WHOA!!!
I just didnt want to lose focus at any point & kept myself reminded of the lists on the screen. As the day went by, the done list got longer and to-do seemed firm in length. Continuing the momentum, I just realised by the end of the day, which quite late in the night or rather early next day morning (close to 4.30 am - as it's almost going to be again tonight)I had completed 142 simple, medium & large size tasks!
A great day with supreme satisfaction & sleep with utmost peace & highly sound in nature was something I deserved as the day folded up. When I looked back over it in the reverse chronological order, I just realised & felt, if one day could add so much meaning to life, imagine what 27 days that remained before I turn 24 could do. And most surprisingly amidst all this, I did care to spend time on "FFF - friends, family & facebook. ~ Sujit Lalwani" :):):)
I recommend you all, to look into your days, weeks and months & see what can make you add more meaning to life. For, it's only together that we can bring in order, peace & harmony into this world, which is on the track of complete chaos, crime, disorder, disharmony & de-energized spirits...

How was your day today? Does this blog have the power to influence your day today, tomorrow & many more days to come tomorrow...?
All of us have always learnt from childhood that time lost cannot be recovered through various quotes, short stories , poems, parents and teachers, self help books etc etc but I don’t think any of them were successful in instilling the importance of time in us.. This blog has honestly opened a new dimension of thinking about time and accomplishments.. you have indeed shown how much is possible to accomplish in a day and how much more we should be doing as opposed to how much we are doing now. Thank you sir for this brilliant testimony to how productive one could make his/her day.. I also totally agree that TO-DO lists really help organize work.. I am deeply inspired by the way you handle things and will put in efforts to duplicate the same..
