Few days back when I was in Gurgaon I met few of my old IT friends ...amongst everything else one interesting topic of discussion was ..." How best one utilises his/her loo time" before this I had never discussed this with anyone, used to always think its not a practice to be discussed publically :-)
When I was young I remember it was said that good ideas germinate in the loo...because its the time you get completely to yourself without any distractions and your mind is more at peace :-D
I personally am comfortable with clearing the backlog of not replied sms's, we had ppl who preferred to make the daily call to their girl frieds/ boy friends as otherwise you are busy with office work and cannot talk with ease, some might prefer catchig up with their emails/ chatting with friends..then there is a plethora of things which you can do with your tiny mobile phone!
Thanks to the advanced Gadgets for making things so simple...Kindly take note I'm not only talking about the wonderful mobile handsets ..but the hands free toilet spray system ( In India)/ the ever useful tissues anywhere else without which it would have been more difficult!

The question is - did you post this blog entry also from the can? :-)
ReplyDelete:-)luckily not!
ReplyDeleteBtw yours is the 1st ever comment on my blog page! so u get the early bird prize!
Because of reasons more than one,the potential of OUTPUT from an individual is more at such an occassion. :-)
ReplyDeleteHowever seriously speaking, Undisturbed... the creative potential of an individual is at its peak. Your mind is impinged with only your thoughts and no other ripples/waves of distraction takes your fancy. The creative entity in you speaks ... but usually whispers, so you really really have to pay a keen ear to it to capture what it is saying. Silence and solitude are best setups to listen to what it is telling you. That ...but it is not a rule. In moments of frnzy creative stride can hit you unalarmed even at the busiest of places. And can keep coming to some again and again and again through the day, the week ,the month, the year or for chosen few.... their lifetime.
Since you are in a do not disturb zone, people in your local geography do not even mentally approach you ... ( most of the times )
But seriously... the Blog does push you to think how best you can consciously utilise the loo slot.
Since the loo slot is usually the morning stuff,my recomendation would be to use it to
1. Plan your day
2. Do some reflection on yesterday's to do list
3. Chalk out efficient and effective ways to cross out the to do items
Truly speaking, so far I had a bias for the newspaper, but I think what I mentioned above would be a better way to invest in time. This way you have your calendar in place and you know exactly the slots and readiness to load them with errands / social interaction and share it with everyone.
Its time to say BOTTOMS UP. Cheers !
pwhew!
ReplyDeletethats quite elaborate...n lots of thinking !
