3 benefits of dressing like Mark Zuckerberg (with regard to time)

Here you are going to learn 3 benefits of dressing like Mark Zuckerberg, The Mark Zuckerberg and by that I mean is dressing simply, in a minimal way. Here're three benefits of minimalism

A new habit isn’t easy to get into neither it’s easy to be persistent. We think a hundred times before we take a decision, don’t we? Because whatever it is we’re quite sure that it’s gonna have either a long term or short term effect but mostly, habits goes unnoticed. Most of the times, or maybe every time whatever habit we develop has even once been influenced by the surroundings we live and the type of society we have surrounded ourselves with.

TIME MANAGEMENT AND MINIMALSIM!

For ex, if you have a habit of embracing people at meetings, you would find it hard to do the same in countries, because the same act isn’t considered as casual as it would be in your country, that is how certain people, certain places and certain things contribute in the way you build your habit or the kind of habits, and that time it’s hard to focus on our own aims and not get disturbed by other stuff.

You can eat and binge watch a show and then get out of the house to hang out, talk with a friend, come home, cook dinner and eat and sleep, but you don’t know if you’ll be home by 7 or 8 PM to cook dinner if your friend isn’t ready to leave you and you both keep gossiping.

The biggest disadvantage of being unproductive or even “yourself” is staying unorganized and therefore lack of time management, if you’re organized you don’t need to rush in last 10 mins of an exam or meeting to find you’re important tools and could spend it in revising on the topics or preparing for any other stuff regarding the upcoming situation, that’s time management. The problem isn’t with being whom and doing what, it’s about how much and how long.

There are three conditions;

1. You can get yourself around bad friends and end up being like them,

2. You can get yourself around good friends and end up being good (good in the sense, intelligent, productive, kind and other good qualities) and

3. No matter what kind of friends you get, you don’t change. You were peeing on your bed 12 years ago, you still do the same. (haha)

here it depends, of course the second one seems good alternative but you can’t be good or ‘productive’ all the time. Instead, you can just point out the good things and learn them, start implanting them in your daily life.

If you’re spending 2 hours doing nothing, or say, talking with someone and you’re still able to get your work done without screwing up, in daily time, you still won’t be ‘unproductive’ as it could be also a kind of time management skill, in total contrast if you spend the same 2 hours doing work, gathering information, doing research, writing ideas and making presentation and still you’re unable to give your best due to improper methods of working or you are uncertain about some things, that would be an absolute waste of time, even though you didn’t really waste any time.

In both cases, the time wasted or spent was same but the conclusions were different, that’s why being productive isn’t enough, that needs sensibility or say, smartness but that’s not rocket science either.

MINIMALSIM (+ benefits)

Minimalism is about avoiding the unnecessary. You find getting joy in lesser things. There are two sides of coin and so everything has an advantage as well as a disadvantage. You know what?

Life these days is so hard to live because you never know what things could get you driven, and what things could push you down.

There are thousands of options and a lot of trash regarding every particular thing and that’s why it’s hard to even notice, what exactly we want.

Like you go to a clothing store to buy a shirt for yourself but the store has no stock left of the shirt,

What are the chances you’ll come back home without buying anything, at all? 50? 40? 70?

We don’t know but the more options we have the more we get involving in stuff which is actually, WASTE! there are 50 reasons it's good and it's not.

I wouldn’t call myself a minimalist really but yup, I’ve been following minimalism since almost a year now and what makes me or (what could make me a minimalistic) is chaos and I aren’t a good pair.

(It's ok you don’t have to give up on modern things like that, it’s just about being modern but not letting it become a major reason for your loss regarding everything)

The reasons are simple.

First, comfort!

I have discovered that simple/ minimal things makes me feel more good and comfortable which ultimately triggers my concentration and I am able to perform my tasks properly.

Because minimal things lack extravagantness, but it doesn’t make you look poor or makes you look old, it’s just about being “modernly simple”

Second could be time.

“Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital."

The lesser things you own, the less stuff owns you, with minimalism you focus on what's important and valuable to your life and you learn to let the rest go.

When you’re living with only few certain things there’s no time you waste in sorting, folding, organizing, etc you just do it, and you’re done!

Also, you don’ find yourself getting over attached to certain things or certain interests,

which could be good, though not because under the name of wanting to entertain, you’d waste time and nothing else.

Energy and (money)

if you’re a reader of these productive books you might know that money is often viewed by a different perspective like that authors don’t speak about more how to get wealthy or how to be rich they talk about other stuff like “management, intelligence, etc” more and the one thing most of the books talk about is ‘energy’ you spend your energy on working, which is ‘making money’ and ultimately your energy turns into your money, thus the less (but witty) options you have, the more energy you’re tend to save, that’s where minimalism helps.

You also save a lot of money through it. you don’t waste a lot of time in sorting and stuff neither you get trapped in the chaos of your own thoughts, contributing in happier mindset.

There are ways how you could set a montly budget to help you do it.

There are a lot of newsletters and blogpost t guide you

There are a lot people talking about this and I was introduced to this through Matt D’Avella.

Let me know if this was helpful! Thanks for your investment of time here, You won't regret spending it here!
