Motivation is considered one of the pillars of HR functions. The passionate employees are self motivated and makes the managers work easy.

The passion is like blinders, it makes you focus and concentrate your energy on one task. This concentrated energy seldom fails and give great results. 
For an analogy, you can think of childhood experiment where school children are given magnifying glass to concentrate the sunlight at a point in paper and get astonished watching it burn.

How HR can achieve this? So key it to focus energy. The job profiling or work allocation has to be simple, try giving higher goal which can be defined in a line rather than giving long list of responsibilities and tasks. As soon as employee reads a long list his energy dissipation starts, and passion becomes just to wait for day or task to end.

Krishna Consciousness - Hanuman bhakti - Team work

The Gita Chapter 2 verse 39, talks about buddhi-yoga, or karma-yoga, or in other words, the practice of devotional service only for the sense gratification of the Lord.

The lord Hanuman, great Ram bhakt, in hanuman chalisa is mentioned as - राम काज करिबे को आतुर (he is eager to complete Lord Ram works).

In present day, in all management lessons the importance of team work in paramount.

In a nut shell, it prevents you from failure and success of your work. You do not burden yourself with result and focus on your work. This increases your productivity and results.

Multitasking leads to multi-emotion

 

The kind for pace we all are living, multitasking has become essential and necessary. We all are moving with our eyes or fingers on mobile screen, taking calls, listening to music on the go is new normal.

However, our mind is becoming used to this pace even when we are more in emotional zone and experiencing emotions. Which is actually leading to multiple emotions at the same time and instead of taking decision and sticking to any one, mind is able to keep all emotions fluctuating at the same time.

This culture or habit of multi- tasking or multi-emotion is actually the biggest stress causer and decision hampering factor.

अशार

किससे बात करू, और किससे मोहब्बत करू।

बात करते हुए महसूस नहीं होता, और मोहब्बत में अल्फाज नही निकलते।

बात न करो तो बेचैनी होती है,

मोहब्बत के बिना सुकून नहीं मिलता।

बात ना करू तो लगता है दूर जा रहा हु,

बिना अल्फाज के तुम्हे गले लगा के न टेहरू,

तो लगता नही की पास आ रहा हु।

How to generate time?

 

What is the need?

We all are regularly saying things like – ‘Let’s do this, we don’t have enough time for that.’, or ‘Time is short’, ‘Time is money’, ‘pull up our socks’, ‘timeline is today’, ‘by EOD’.

This leads us to keep speeding up and burning ourselves.

What if we can generate time and do lot of things, things which we are keeping on back burner – spending time with kids, going for holiday, to read that book, to talk to old friends, to call parents.

Answer is -

It is very simple. To generate time slow down yourself.

It does not make sense, because we all have learned that in 10 minutes if we have more speed we will travel more distance. If we slow down, decrease our speed than we will be able to do fewer things in same amount of time.

Lets understand -

Let me take you through my experience of slowness on mind. First let’s do one exercise, watch the clock for 10 seconds. Done? Now, again look at watch for 10 seconds with deep and slow breathing. Do you feel both the time duration were equal.

Most of the people (who would have really taken long breath) would have experienced that in later 10 seconds they had more thoughts, more clarity and more time actually.

A step further -

Let me take you one step deeper in mind. Our mind has extremely good ability to focus, in which it ignores many things to achieve its focused goal. We all must have gone through that moment when while reading or watching something we didn’t noticed someone entering room. Most of magicians and thieves work on this logic only. They create a distraction and as your mind and eyes turn, within seconds they switch something which you don’t notice.[1]

No, not working -

So, my mind burns energy to keep focus, and cuts out other things. But then focus is good, and still it is not clear how we generate time by slowing down.

When we slow down, we free up a lot of mind which was used in keeping focus and speed. Numerous studies have shown that we take regular breaks in office our efficiency improves. Sleep, a break from life, heals and energizes us.

Yes it does - 

When we slow down, we are giving frequent break to our minds from speed and focus to improve its efficiency. You generate time and do more things in same 10 seconds.
