BC TIME MANAGEMENT
Saved by @Alex1Powell

Time Management isn’t what ensures productivity.

It is way deeper than that.

A Thread 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

 1/ We live in a time where there are a lot of conversations and declarations about the importance of Time Management

Content on the Internet constantly remind you of why it is important for you to manage your time and go on to list the benefits

But does time management work?
2/ We live in a world of intense gaming, several books have been written on the Human mind from various angles and views.

The psychology of the human mind have been throughly dissected and chief among the reasons is one thing.

👉🏽 Holding people’s Attention
3/ Companies (especially social media ones) spend all their work time discovering new ways to hold your attention.

Billions of dollars are spent on marketing yearly.

Your attention is worth a lot and it seems that everyone but you understands that.
4/ Your Time is your greatest resource and the outcome of your life depends on how you use it.

But that’s just the surface level.

What holds your attention is what determines the level of value that you would be able to extract from your time.
5/ Whether you are doing something worthwhile or irrelevant, time gets spent.

The reason why you always fall short of your goals and feel frustrated at the end of the day is because you only look at your unfinished tasks and the hours that have gone by without doing them.
6/ You need to take a step back and find out the things that hold your attention.

You will always fail to be productive if all you focus on is time spent.

A better option is to assess what holds your attention and evaluate if it is related to your goals.
7/ You need to make people and projects that matter the centre of your attention.

Once you determine what you need to focus your attention on, you will not make room for procrastination.

You have probably spent more time than necessary "checking Twitter" today.
8/ The reason why you procrastinate is because you are trying to avoid a hard task that you know is important

After wasting time, you end up doing the task anyways.

You kill procrastination when you gain clarity of what really matters.
9/ Stress comes from not knowing what to do.

Your brain jumps from task to task, leaving you exhausted.

The first thing that you need to do is getting a list of what you are meant to achieve in a day.
10/ Arrange them based on priority, put the most important tasks first, they are the ones you are most likely to procrastinate.

One way I crush these tasks is not coming online until I do them

You can adopt this method, don't open, WhatsApp/Twitter/Instagram until you are done.
11/ Delaying that gratification would help you a lot.

It would also help you achieve you major tasks early in the day.

Social media would always suck you in if you open it first thing in the morning.
12/ What holds you attention, controls you life.

if you can control your attention, your time would be well spent.

I'm gonna do my other star wars thread tomorrow, which will primarily be me yelling at a @RowanKaiser-shaped strawman for calling the First Order and The Resistance "cosplayers who the rest of the galaxy has to deal with"

the deal w/the New Republic, the First Order, and the Resistance is very weird and complex and I actually take issue with how Story Group frames the actual conflict.

pre-TFA stuff is presented as a "cold war" between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire that form the First Order, which 100% makes sense.

But they frame the First Order's attack on the Hosnian system and the subsequent battle that takes place across TFA and TLJ as a full on war when it's very clearly a coup. A war implies at least equal standing, but the First Order completely wrecks shop and takes over the galaxy.

ok never mind I'm fucking doing this now.

The First Order fleet we see in TLJ is *not* the entire fleet of the First Order (I don't even think Starkiller Base was their main base of operations honestly, it couldn't have been considering they were operating out of Wild Space)

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.


Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:

He's wrong to prioritise the public over Labour Party

MAHARAANI TARARANI: THE QUEEN OF MARATHAS

Rani Tarabai was the brave daughter-in-law of Chhatrapati Shivaji and one of the greatest medieval Monarchs India ever had.
She was born in 1675 to one of the bravest commander-in-chiefs of Shivaji's Army named Hambir Rao Mohite.


Tarabai was just 8yrs old when she was married to Shivaji's younger son, Rajaram. Mughals and Marathas were constantly at war with each other. Shivaji was crowned the ruler of the Independent Maratha Swarajya in 1674 which was established by him.


However,the great leader died in 1680&the Maratha Samrajya went into a complete&total chaos.Marathas saw some very tough times ahead. In 1689,when Raigad Fort fell to the Mughal Army of over 15000,Shivaji's first wife Saibai and his elder son Sambhaji were captured&put to death.


Sambhaji's wife and son Shahu were taken prisoners to the Mughal court. During the same battle, Shivaji's second son Rajaram(Tarabai's husband) , who was the heir to the throne now, managed to escape using a disguise. He made his way to the Gingee Fort in Tamil Nadu.


Mughal General Zulfikar Khan, however, followed them to Gingee laying siege to the Gingee Fort. From 1690-1698,This was the longest siege by a Mughal Army of any Fort which stands testimony to the military and diplomatic credentials of Rani Tarabai.
