It's a nice performance, but it's no Utopia
How many times in a day do you remind yourself to be more productive at work? How often your boss tells you to improve a bit? Even if you are satisfied with the pace you work with or the way you do your assigned tasks, there is always some tricky confusion in your mind whether I could have worked better? What else I need to do to make it better? There are so many blurred thoughts which actually pull and push you at times but lead you to no where. Let’s take a few examples-
Mike is an aspiring baseball player in the suburbs of New Jersey. He is quite good at the game. Even he sometimes faces a down period when he doesn't do well. He says "All you want is to do your best, but there are times when you ask yourself, what's wrong. Why does it not work? May be I loose my focus and it uncontrollably breaks my performance, but most of the times I am clueless why did I loose it?"
Sally, who is an admin assistant in an export firm, faces the same kind of riddles while at work. She says, "I was an average student in my school and college days. As a kid, I always liked keeping notes, books and organizing things and liked them in order, but most of my plans used to remain unfinished or pending to say at least, for a while. This is one problem, I still face while fulfilling my professional duties, I try a lot to be disciplined and content but that does not happen. I feel most of the times I am carried away by the irrelevant and unimportant thoughts." Mike and sally both face unproductive hours at work. The nature of their work is different as mike does a physically challenging work in which instant planning, organizing and execution, all are required, while sally's work is more of a managerial nature where she is required to prioritize, plan and execute extensively. There on time performance and productivity is of utmost importance to them. People have different set problems of their own
