Success Hacks
4 tips to hack your productivity this lockdown!
There are proven ways to hack your productivity. To make sure that work gets done and with a minimum of effort. And the secret (that’s not so secret) is that you have to first hack your mood! Find out, with tech entrepreneur, Ritu Srivastava!
Are you a serial multitasker? Use my checklist
Let’s face it, a lot of the tasks that we perform in our daily routine are boring as hell. If we had to do just those, our brains would go numb and we would pass out and die and that would not be helpful for anyone.
However, when we combine these boring, mundane tasks with the interesting high priority tasks, not only do we get them done, we get them done without the resulting boredom and in zero the time. It’s a win-win situation, people!

The single biggest lie that we tell ourselves!
The next time you see someone do something that you can’t and feel a tingle of admiration, that’s the moment to ask yourself, “Do I wish I could do that?”.
And then listen to the answer!
Chances are that your mind will automatically respond, “I could if I wanted to, but I don’t want to!”.
And that’s the giveaway.
That’s the defence mechanism we’ve built for ourselves – that we could if we wanted to, but we don’t because we don’t want to.
That we have better things to do.

And this because every significant achievement that the world has ever witnessed has been led by a great leader.
But so has every great atrocity!
And while most of us secretly believe that we are very good at leading people – that we deserve positions of leadership and responsibility early in our lives – the truth couldn’t be farther from our delusions.

3 hacks to break out of your comfort zone!
Think of life like a mountain that you’re climbing and after a period of intense stress and effort, you reach a plateau, where you take a well-deserved break.
That plateau is your comfort zone!
And while it’s absolutely alright to take a breather there, when you put your head down, decide to snuggle down on that plateau and refuse to look at the rest of the looming mountain, then you limit the potential of what you can
And that is a crime.
Struggling to get out of your comfort zone?
Evolution has designed all mammals to instinctively seek out things that minimise stress. And that is why your brain keeps you in the comfort zone, where all is familiar, known and you won’t get eaten by anything large and hairy with many sharp teeth!
But all growth conversely, comes when you step out of it!
