Namaste!

Hoping you are doing well!

We have looked into Minimalism in EP 20 – the link of which is in this episode description.

But how can we incorporate Minimalism in our Business? Could we actually do this?

Yes we can!

Let’s explore on what is Minimalism especially in an online business.

For a Minimalist Business person, Success isn’t about Money, Expanding to each and every continent and having products in all categories.

For a Minimalist,

1. Success is about being Independent, having the freedom to take decisions and to make a profitable running business however small the business is.

2. He would be someone who looks into simplifying the process of conducting the business without much hassles and dependency on complex processes.

3. He would delegate or share the work with his team members.

A Minimalist would indulge in this freedom of running a business the way he wants to and also explore life or go on vacations when he wants to.

Does having a Minimalist Business entail we are giving the customer a not so efficient product or service?

Or does it mean, we have to cater to only a set product or service?

Absolutely not!

Let’s explore the Ways in which we can practise Minimalism in our Business.

1. Decide on what your business is about or Reassess your Business Strategies for an existing business-

2. Online Business?

3. Assess on Tools, Frameworks, Softwares-

4. Plan SMART Goals-

5. Delegate work-

6. Go Slow-

7. Automate and Declutter-

Read more on the above out here - Minimalism in Business

Having a Minimalist Business is about enjoying the freedom to work on what you truly love doing and also to explore life and live the way you want to consciously and not being limited by time or money!

How to be Present in the Moment and be Productive

Namaste!

Hoping you are doing well!

In this episode I am going to talk about - How to be Present in the Moment and be Productive

There are certainly times when doing mundane tasks or watching a movie or preparing for an exam, our mind is anxious or restless. This is due to our preoccupied minds or quite simply our mind is thinking about a zillion other things.

I am sure you must have experienced the above.

There have been many times when I was at work and I used to think of the chores pending at home and likewise when I was home I used to think about the tasks at work.

Sounds familiar right?

Well, in our pursuit of having a happy and bright future we are neglecting the present and constantly worried about the future or dwelling in the past.

How do we get past this?

Our mind is thinking something while we are doing something totally different.

I am sure at this moment you want a solution or an idea.

Stay with me in this moment. Take a deep breath. Inhale. Exhale. Keep doing this for a couple of minutes.

Ok now let's get to the point.

How can we practise or just be mindful of being in the present moment?

This is a question we have now.

Let's take it step by step.

Scenario 1: I am sure all of us would have played one game or another.

Be completely present in the moment and go with the flow

Scenario 2: Think of a goal or a target which was fruitful because you focused on the job at hand.

Concentrate wholly on one single task at a time.

Scenario 3: Imagine getting bored when doing laundry or cleaning the kitchen everyday.

Enjoy and again give it your all and don't think of a task as big or small just think of it as a task needed to be done at this moment.

Probably you can observe yourself when you are doing certain tasks be it at work or at home.

Try it for yourself and see the difference it brings to your daily life.

Do let me know how it went by being in the present moment and ofcourse being productive.

Waiting to hear from you!
