The decline of leisure

Though we physically work for less or equal hours as compared to our ancestors, we still spend less time enjoying leisure than them. What has eaten up our time ? Using phone ? Or our unending thrive to productivity where we try to ‘maximise’ leisure time by learning some skills ?

Leisure isn’t a means to some other end, I think it is the end ! We need to start seeing leisure as not a tool to recharge to be able to work better, but to just enjoy.

The old story of a king and cattle farmer about work more so that you earn more so that you relax later, while the farmer is anyway relaxing is more relevant than ever.
Thoughts by productivity geeks ?

Looking back and sobing at a decision you made isn't maturity, maturity is understanding the fact that it was the best decision possible with the amount of resources and knowledge you had at that time.

There are 3 types of people
1. Who can innovate and lead
2. Who can follow
3. Who needs encouragement or guidance to be the 1st one.

Sooner you find out where you fit, better for you

Ek khayaal kab se baitha hai,
Sapne ko Sapna kahein ya jeene ko sapna ?
Hum jo nahi hai wo hi sapna hai ya hum jo hai wo sapna hai ?
Ye bhi toh ho sakta hai ke hum jb sote hai tab jeete hai aur jb jaagte hai tb sote hai !
Aisa nahi bhi toh ho sakta hai !
