Well done! It reminds me of yet another benefit of mindfulness meditation in which one learns to increase the power of focused attention. It also points out how being physically unhealthy can be a hole very hard to crawl out of. If you have no energy it is hard to start the upwards spiral so you can have energy to do the things that will give you energy. Cheers! I found this a very cool article. Well done!

Every one have lot of to do list till his life ends, these keep on going. Some of the activity realy need to do present & regular, some we can postpond which can be done on later stage which depends upon our urgency, so you have to plan about which need to give priority & do that first or regular. Sometime some can be shifted have close look on your todo list. Its true that reminding todo activity regular that leads us towards to do that activity. Some more points like to add.

It is easy to forget to do your habit one day, and that just makes it easier to forget the next day, and before you know it you're back to square one again. Since it takes 21 consequetive repetitions of a habit for it to be securely established, it often takes a very long time to happen. I have found that one thing that sometimes helps me is to attach the new habit to another habit that is already established. Doing the established habit will remind me to do the new one too.

These resources not only include time and attention, but also available energy, effort, motivation, systems and processes (of various kinds), environmental structure, support, money, and more. Ironically, most of us sacrifice on sleep in order to focus on more "productive tasks" but lack of sleep only reduces our ability to focus and our available energy levels to get through each day. There's a new concept I call "procrastivity" - significantly enhanced productivity achieved through intelligently and creatively applying intentional procrastination. More about the concept and application of procrastivity can be found at www.Procrastivity.com. Thanks, Scott, for a more holistic perspective on productivity and resource management!
