At that time Dr. Syed Akhtar Hussain was the department head of computer science.
I was working on a project by taking help of Sir. One day I was really excited and asked him, sir. I have a great idea. Can I share this with you.
He replied, "I don't have enough time to hear this now." I was very excited and I insisted that he hear my idea.
He got angry and took out some papers from his drawer and told me, "Do you know that in these papers I have written the plan of this whole year? When I will go, where, what I will do, everything."
I left his room quietly. After many years I am now realizing the power of planning ahead. I had the wrong idea that the plan only works for people like him who are very busy.
In my life this is the first month I am planning like him.
In the upcoming weeks what I will do on a regular basis is I plan for everything.
This way I notice that if anything unnecessary comes on that day, I am unable to pick that. Because that is not included in my plan.
If someone sent me abuse in my inbox, I don't have the time to sit around arguing with them about it. Now I clearly understand that if I start an argument with that person then I will not be able to complete the task I planned on that certain period.
Plan for your day. The sentence is very simple but if you plan a full month in your calendar then you will truly realize and learn the power of planning.
It's only seven days. I'm following the formula. I will share my improvement after a month.
