When you see both pictures, what is the first thing that come to your mind ?
They both have same number of blocks but when you see, in the left image, the blocks are piled higher, overflowing slightly and creating a somewhat haphazard mound above the rim of the container. In the right image, the blocks are more neatly arranged and contained within the rim, possibly indicating a slight adjustment or settling of the blocks.
This is a real-life story, me and my son were playing these wooden blocks. After we finished playing with them, I told him to keep them in the container so that we can play next time. He was in a hurry to play another game with his friends so he just dumped all the blocks into the container like picture on the left. Then I asked him what if the container fell down from your hand while keeping it in cup board or for any other reason, he instantly said, I will have to keep all of them again. He asked follow up question to me, what should I do now? I just suggested, you can try to arrange and place them in such a way so that you utilize all the space of the container.
He removed all the blocks from the container and started fill the container again but by using all the space and checking size of block n all. After filling the container, he was able to close the lid as well. He said, Thanks Dad :)
I started thinking, what is the approach that we are following in our daily life, personal and professional. Are we taking decisions in a hurry or are we doing things just for the sake of doing it? What if we take few more minutes to analyze, plan a bit better and execute in a right way. I believe we can achieve more with these simple technics.
Yes I know, we all are in busy and fast life but hang on, If you calm down, be patient and think again, there will always be a better way of doing things that can benefit us or anyone for a long time. It is just that we need to change our thought process and train our mind not to overthink, not to take decisions in a hurry, not to do things that may look like achieving success in short span of time but may not be good for long term.
Absolutely right, a well planned work and arranged things makes life easier and relaxed 👌👍
