Book excerpt: This book explores the use of mindfulness meditation as a practical tool for improved time management. Time-as-we-know-it is man-made. While it allows us to run our sophisticated society, we have become enslaved by it. From breakfast time through lunch time and back to bed time, our lives are run to the clock. When we take control of our Personal Time Machine, our mind, we can take the passage of time under our control. Slowing down is the new speeding up. The practice of daily mindfulness meditation slows down the perceived passage of time so we get more done with less of it. At the same time, we become less prone to interruptions and calmer and more focused. Our productivity and creativity soars while, at the same time, we become more vibrant and healthy. The world around us seems to alter too. Serendipity begins to visit our door, just in time. Life becomes a breeze when we stop pushing water uphill and go with the temporal flow. "It is about time there was a book about time like this one." "A temporal tour de force."

Download or read book One Second Ahead written by Rasmus Hougaard and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-02-16 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers have found that the accelerated pace of modern office life is taking its toll on productivity, employee engagement, creativity and well-being. Faced with a relentless flood of information and distractions, our brains try to process everything at once increasing our stress, decreasing our effectiveness and negatively impacting our performance. Ironically, we have become too overworked, unfocused, and busy to stop and ask ourselves the most important question: What can we do to break the cycle of being constantly under pressure, always-on, overloaded with information and in environments filled with distractions? Do we need to accept this as the new workplace reality and continue to survive rather than thrive in modern day work environments? Thankfully, the answer is no. In their new book, ONE SECOND AHEAD: Enhance Your Performance at Work with Mindfulness (Palgrave Macmillan; November 2015), Rasmus Hougaard, Jacqueline Carter, and Gillian Coutts demonstrate that it is possible to train the brain to respond differently to today's constant pressures and distraction. All it takes is one second. They propose that we need to learn to work differently so we are more focused, calm and have less clutter in our mind so we can better manage our time and attention. What if we could hit the 'pause' button on our day, step back, and meet challenges with a sense of clarity and purpose? And what if there was a way not just of 'getting things done,' but ensuring that what does get done are the right things to do? Based on a program in corporate mindfulness designed by Hougaard and the partners of The Potential Project, One Second Ahead provides practical tools and techniques as well as real-world examples and lessons from organizations that have implemented mindfulness on a large scale. Thoroughly tested in a diverse range of industries, this program has resulted in measurable increases in productivity, effectiveness, and job satisfaction. With the new mindset proposed in One Second Ahead, readers will be able to put an end to ineffective multitasking, unproductive meetings, poor communication, and other unhealthy workplace behaviors by applying mindfulness to every day work life. All too often, we think that being mindful requires engaging in a special activity like meditation or yoga. Sure, these activities are beneficial and important to train the mind, but there are many simple things we can do to be mindful all day long. One Second Ahead is a handbook for more mindful work that offers: Practical, easy to apply, tools and techniques to enhance performance and effectiveness in day to day work activities such as meetings, emails, communication, planning, creativity and more Real-world stories of how mindfulness changed the workdays of leaders and front line employees Tips for cultivating mental strategies and routines that can reduce clutter, increase focus, and rewire your brain to enhance presence, patience, kindness and other valuable mind states Simple yet detailed step-by-step instructions for a more systematic approach to mindfulness training to enhance focus and awareness Guidelines for a 10-minute-per-day mindfulness program that can reshape your life both at work and at home; A reproducible planning worksheet and further resources in the Appendix. One Second Ahead can transform daily work life by helping individuals and teams realize more of their potential through greater focus and awareness. The tools and techniques in this book can transform individual and organizational performance one mind at a time.

And yet….we are so attached to being busy that we spend most of our time looking forward, looking backward, and missing those things that are right in front of us. TIME stands for “This Is My Energy.” When we look at time as the precious thing that it is, our energy, a measure of our Life Force, our entire take on how to manage it starts to shift. It's time to stop participating in the insane cycle of cramming every day to overflowing, working ourselves into the ground, and feeling stressed and exhausted all the time.

There is more to life that being busy and until we stop, breathe, and get our feet firmly planted on the ground, we are not going to be able to see or experience the peace and deep satisfaction that comes from truly engaging in the things that are important to us. This guide will help change how you look at “time management” and encourage you to stop counting minutes and start making memories. By focusing in on those things that are the most important, you will learn how to be exactly as busy as you need to be to build the life you want. You will learn to: • Redefine time management; there's a fundamental shift when you go from spending slivers of time on a clock, to investing blocks of your life force – this is where things get REAL • Find your first things, so you can laser focus on what REALLY matters • Make mindfulness-based decisions in the moment so you're not creating a dreaded “Time Tornado” • Let go of the things you don't need to be doing; yes you CAN let go of some things, and I promise the world will not come to a screeching halt • Create space in your life to focus on the big picture so you can stop living on autopilot; no one else will do this for you, only YOU can and I'm going to show you how • Understand the difference between urgency and importance, so you can quit operating in crisis mode, kick the stress, and actually enjoy your life – even when you're working • Build a manageable schedule focused on the things that are most important to you so you can be at peace while you're being productive.

Download or read book McMindfulness written by Ronald Purser and published by Repeater. This book was released on 2019-07-09 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mindfulness is now all the rage. From endorsements by celebrities, to monks, neuroscientists, and meditation coaches rubbing shoulders with CEOs at the World Economic Forum in Davos, it is clear that mindfulness has gone mainstream. Some have called it a revolution. The evangelical promotion of mindfulness as a panacea for all that ails us has begun to give way to a backlash, with questions arising whether its claims for achieving happiness, wellbeing and career success have been over-sold. Expanding on his influential essay Beyond McMindfulness, Ronald Purser debunks the so-called ñmindfulness revolutionî, arguing its proponents have reduced mindfulness to a self-help technique that fits snugly into a consumerist culture complicit with Western materialistic values. In a lively and razor-sharp critique of mindfulness as it has been enthusiastically co-opted by corporations, public schools, and the U.S. military, Purser explains why such programs inevitably fall short of their revolutionary potential. Simply paying attention to the present moment while resting snugly in our private bubbles is no mindfulness revolution. Mindfulness has become the new capitalist spirituality, a disciplined myopia, that mindlessly ignores the need for social and political change.
