“LHP”-A method for Being productive in each hour of life

Being productive means, to ensure each and every hour of a day, of our life, contributes to enhancement of our life. What does enhancement mean, it means to uplift our mental, physical, spiritual, social or financial well-being. As per our priority or perspective towards any of the above areas of our life, we try to attain a higher level of knowledge or take actions, to uplift our self to an another level. Simple way is to, ask our self after each hour, if the last hour that I have spent, is any way contributes to the growth our life in any of the aspect in terms of our mental, physical, spiritual, social or financial well-being. If the answer is “NO”, we are wasting our time and will soon feel exhausted and meaningless.

I call this method as “LHP”, (last hour productivity).  To better implement this method we need to have a set of goals that we have written down, based on our mental, physical, spiritual, social or financial needs. Once we have our set of goals (at least 10 goals in each area of life). Once we start our day, after each hour, we can write down what we have done in last hour, against each set of goals. For example, below are few sample goals and last hour contribution to it-

Goal: Health- Weight loss by 10 KG by next 60 days: Last Hour contribution- Walked for 20 Min. 40 Min Yoga Etc.

Goal: Knowledge: Read one book per week: Last our contribution: Read a chapter of a book. View 20 min video in your subject of interest, etc.

Goal: Financial: To learn investment: Read about value investing and mutual fund etc.

Impact of this LHP is compounding and extraordinary. We can understand this with a very simple example.  If you read 60 minutes each day, you will be able to complete one book a week on an average. A book per week on average would be a 50 books a year, to get a PHD at a leading university in any subject, you have to read about 30 to 50 books and combined them to a dissertation. If you read 30 to 50 book in your field in a course of a year, you get the equivalent of a doctoral degree, whether in selling, business or entrepreneurship or any other field. 

If we, self-analysis our last our activity on a regular basis for 21 days it will become a habit and it will become a part of our subconscious mind. Once it become a part of subconscious mind, our mind will automatically remind us, if we engage our self in any activity which is not linked with our sets of goals.  As a result of this we will only engage our self, in those, activity that will uplift our life. This is life changing, it will change our life fundamentally.

The fundamental difference with normal “end day review” methods or “check list” methods is that, in “LHP”, it can be convert to a habit and link with your subconscious mind.
