If you are Reading this post

 

I have noticed that for the last few days, many people are coming to this blog according to the status of BlogSpot. I don't have any other way to track the visitors, but it seems that some people are really coming to this blog and reading some posts. So, if you are one of them, I'd like to just talk a bit with you.

You are a reader, and thank you so much for reading! I hope that you found the thing that you came here for searching. I am not a great blogger, but I am a passionate writer. I'm just trying to have a chat with you so that you can spend your time for a minute or two. I know all of us are very busy, and you don't have the time. That's fine.

I am writing this post for practicing. You see I am now trying every day to write something. I have also uploaded a few posts in the last few days in this blog. What I can find is that some people are reading and commenting on my posts. It's okay, I'm just happy that some people are reading the posts that I am writing.

They are coming here through a search engine, they are looking for something and then they are visiting the home page and reading the latest post. Some of the posts have been read by nearly 100 persons on their homepage. That is an amazing experience for a writer like me as the posts are a bit boring and.

So if you are one of them and you have managed to read until now, I am really happy and I'd like to thank you for reading the post. You see, the greatest satisfaction of a writer is that when his posts or writings are read by some people.

Yes, if there is a response in the form of a comment, then we feel very happy. The writers feel that their effort is bringing the result they desired. Even if it's not, it's okay because you see that back in the good old days, people used to just read a book or a newspaper, and there was no way to give it back unless writing a letter.

Now there is Facebook, there is blogs, there is Twitter and if a reader likes a post they can immediately send a comment. That is the thing, I hope that in future I will have many comments. However, I have got many comments on Facebook in the last five years, so it is not that I miss this experience.

This post is actually helping me to reflect on some ideas. I wanted to be a writer and now I am writing. I know that some of you will read this post. So I like to thank all of you for reading it, and it's okay if there is not a single comment. The main matter is that people are reading, and I feel confident and I feel excited.

Wow, I have written a long post and now I am at the end of this post. I'd like to thank you again, and I hope that you will come back to read my writing again.

Transformational Journey of a Solo Professional: Some Lessons

 

 Imagine you wake up one day and suddenly you see that you have become the opposite type of person. It is not a dream or a nightmare, it is the reality. How would you feel?

For the last 11 days, I have been seriously trying to transform myself from a platform maker to a solo professional. It is not an easy journey, and I have been struggling a lot. Here in this post, I am going to write about some lessons that I am learning from this transformational journey.

I know that there are many people who are in a similar situation like me. They are on a transformational journey from one type of personality to another. It's not easy. I'm sharing my experience and some lessons so that it may help you.

Life of a Platform Maker

For the last 10 years, I tried my best to become a platform maker. I was the president of an e-commerce association and also an admin of several large Facebook groups. One of my groups has 3.3 million members. It is one of the largest groups on online learning.

My challenge was to involve many people at the same time. Use the strength or power of Facebook towards the common goal. In the life of a platform maker, I was always concerned about the success of other people. There was hardly any scope to think about my own personal development and success.

It’s a Very Rough Beginning

I had to totally change my thinking pattern and goals. I started to think about my own personal development, my own success. I have to now think of doing the work that is related to my improvement.

It's like taking a U-turn in life and doing everything in the opposite direction. In the first few days, I could not believe that it was possible for me to just move towards the opposite direction. I simply cannot think in a totally different way all of a sudden. It seemed impossible for me. It was a very rough beginning, no doubt about that.

To Be or Not to Be: The Inner Conflict

I had a terrible inner conflict—I simply could not believe that I could be able to think of my own personal benefit all day. It seemed to be almost impossible and very difficult and sometimes a heartbreaking idea.

I tried to think about life and my daily activities from a different perspective. I started asking myself whether this will bring benefit for me, whether this is the thing I really want, such things. The most important lesson that I have learned is that you have to face the inner conflict and you must not give up.

 

Ambition Is Not Bad

As a platform maker, I used to think about achieving some goals that would be beneficial to thousands of people. I created some ideas that touched the lives of many people not only in my country but in different countries through Facebook groups. Now I have to think of becoming a successful person, and I learned that I must have some kind of ambition. Ambition is not bad at all as long as it doesn't harm any other person.

I have started to find some positive aspects of being an ambitious person. It helps us to find our mental peace as well as move forward in life.

I Wanna Grow Old with You

There is a feeling inside me that I am becoming a new person. I am now just thinking about my work and how to improve, how to make myself a more skilled professional, how I can get success or become more successful, etc.

I want to continue this journey. I want to grow older with this personality or personal traits. I want to keep moving ahead with this mindset in the coming months and years.

Face Your Inner Fears

The most important lesson that I have learned in the last few days in this transformational journey is that I must face my inner fears regularly. Often, I feel nervous about the change in my thinking pattern. It is really sometimes nerve-breaking, and it puts a lot of pressure on my mind. Am I becoming self-centered? Am I becoming totally selfish? Who am I? I hardly recognize myself.

Tomorrow Is a New Day

Because of this inner fear and inner fight, I lose many hours. Sometimes I cannot get things done, I cannot do my work properly because now whatever I do is related to my improvement and my personal benefit. In the past, it was just the opposite. It had nothing to do with my personal benefit.

I try to tell myself that tomorrow is a new day and it will become better. I will become more productive, and I will have more peace in my mind.

Trust the Process

I am at a transitional stage in my life. I am no longer the platform maker, but yet I could not become the solo professional totally. So there is a lot of conflict, and I am struggling a lot. There is no problem in admitting this problem.

 I know that anyone who wants to show this kind of transformation where he wants to become the opposite type of person then it creates a lot of conflict. It's not that I do not have the necessary knowledge or skill to become a solo professional. What I am lacking now is the mindset, and it is actually keeping me from moving forward.

I have to trust the process and let things move forward in their own style and at their own pace.

Conclusion

To be honest, I feel much better after 11 days compared to day one. It's like that I feel I've changed a bit, and now I can regularly write in my blog, which I couldn't do before. I am hopeful that within 100 days, the transformation will be complete, and it will be total.

I am interested in your journey of transformation. How did you fare in such a journey?

Benefits of 2 Minute Rule

 

Have you heard about the 2 minute rule? Do you practice it in your daily life?

You have heard a lot about the 2-minute rule, and it is practiced by many people around the world. The idea is very simple. If you can do something within two minutes, then try to do it. You can get rid of procrastination as well as laziness. However, there are many people skeptical about it as two-minute work cannot make any difference in our life. In this post I am going to talk about some benefits of two-minute rule.

Ideal for some people

There are many people who struggle with focusing for more than a few minutes. I am one person who struggled to focus on something for more than 10 minutes. What I do is that I forget to do a lot of things that are very easy, but yet I do not do them. For example, I can perhaps write a blog post within two minutes for this blog. It is really possible for me, but I do not do it. This is ideal for people like me who struggle with focusing in everything.

Many things can be done

I just gave an example above that I can surely write a blog post within two minutes. Yes, I can easily write a blog post of 100 words within two minutes if I really want. Or I can type 50 words in two minutes, then again after a short while, I can type for two minutes. If I can work like this for five or six times (10-12 minutes), then I can easily write a good quality blog post.

Household Chores

Many of us can be extremely lazy when it comes to doing household work. For example, my table is always in a mess. I am not organized, even though I don't keep my clothes very organized. So I know that I am not a rare person, and there are millions of people - especially millions of men - who have the same habit or bad habit like me.

By using the two-minute rule, we can arrange our clothes, we can clean our table, we can even clean our room, we can wash some dishes. We can do many things within the house. If we can spend two minutes on ten tasks, then ten tasks will be done every day.

Physical Exercise

For us, it can be a great solution. For example, today I have started doing moderate exercise like walking. I do not walk at all despite the fact that my health requires at least 20-30 minutes of walking every day.

So I decided, "Okay, I am going to work just for 2 minutes. That is possible, that is very easy." And this way I have already worked 16 minutes, and I hope to work a total of 30 minutes today by just walking 2 minutes at a time.

Avoiding burnout

Even those people who are very hardworking can benefit from the 2-minute rule. For example, a hard-working person takes tasks to an extreme level and easily gets physical or mental burnout. They simply cannot do the smallest task.

I have experienced it many times in my life when I like something, I just spend all my time on it, and then very soon I get physical, mental, and emotional burnout. At that stage, even just spending 10 minutes on that work becomes almost impossible or very challenging or difficult for me.

You can develop micro habits

It is also very useful for developing micro-habits. There are habits that you can do, for example, many people feel lazy just to brush their teeth before going to bed. This is a very simple task; it does not take more than two minutes but it can prevent many diseases.

 Many people suffer from teeth problems only for neglecting this simple habit. So, there are many micro-habits that you can develop by just trying and focusing on one task for two minutes.

Earning more Money  

I know most of you will become skeptical after hearing from me that you can even earn more money by mastering the two-minute rule. It is really possible if you take it seriously. It does not mean that you just work two minutes a day and you will start earning money.

No, it does not work like that way. But if you can focus on your work for two minutes, and can repeat it many times throughout the day, then you will notice that you were doing many things get done compared to the past. That will surely bring some extra money for you.

Reading More Books

I know it sounds weird, and you must be laughing at my idea. You may think that it is impossible that you can read more books by following the 2-minute rule. However, I have from my own experience noticed that when I don't, when I feel bored for reading a book then I just read only two or three pages at a time, and this way within a day I can read 30-50 pages.

Sometimes even I have read 100 pages this way. It is possible. The same can be applied to watching YouTube videos. If a video is full of entertainment and funny, we like to watch it. If it is a learning video, then many of us get bored and we struggle with it. So, if you can just watch two or three minutes at a time, then you will notice that within an hour you can finish a 20-minute-long video easily.

Conclusion

You don't have to agree with me. You can do some practice and check if it works for you. I am confident that it will help you a lot if ou just try to practice it regularly.

Do you have any experience with the 2-minute rule? What do you think? Do you think that it can bring benefits for you?
