Fixing stuff around myself
So after opening my Project Work file from Amal Academy I started reading the instructions for the first project of the week, the objective of the project was to fix something around me, and immediately my eyes fell on my study desk in my study room. For reference, here’s what my study corner usually looks like:
And this is what my study desk looked like just before I started this project:
As you can probably see, it was kind of a mess, dust was starting to collect on the table, I had random stuff piled up here that I didn’t need and they were just filling up space.
So I just removed everything, dusted the table, put away the extra items I did not have any use for and put everything back together and this is what I was left with:
Most of the stuff I do end up keeping like the fat book, novel and my journal; but that’s mostly because I need them to be there and I consider them essential for my environment design.
Now that I was done, my study desk felt more — I don’t know how else to describe this — but it felt untangled and breathable; which I know is a strange way to describe a table, but that was the feeling I got.
I procrastinate a lot when it comes to cleaning, and even if I didn’t have to do this project I would’ve come around to tidying it up eventually, but the added deadline just motivated me more to do so.
A part of leadership is keeping yourself and the team motivated and taking initiative, responsibility and to hold yourself accountable for the things you do or in this case, don’t do.
Going into the future I think I’ll have to devise a method to keep myself more motivated and accountable of the things I do. I’ve recently finished James Clear’s Atomic Habits in which he gave some interesting ideas and tips to keep yourself motivated and to hold yourself accountable, and I plan to apply his advises here as well.
