Fixing the stuff around!

Usually, I prefer to work in an isolated environment. Therefore, I often use to sit in a separate room. Since I use a PC instead of the laptop, so the monitor is placed on a small wooden table and table is just near to a sofa which I utilize to sit on. Figure 1 displays my sitting arrangement in the room.

Figure 1: Sitting arrangement before fixing the things

Just after one week, often on Sunday, I clean my room and respective things of the arrangement. Now, it is Wednesday i.e., mid of the following week and I have planned to fix some items around me even before the coming Sunday. Figure 2 highlights the stuffs that needs to be managed in proper way. I am already feeling like its Sunday today.

One thing that was not looking good was about the books placed on the CPU unit. As these books were like a weight placed on CPU so, it possibly could disturb the ventilation system of the unit. And secondly, there were couple of misplaced covers of soft foam of sofa. These things are like a continuous irritation for me if not managed appropriately. Therefore, I try to fix these little items as earliest as possibly those could be.

So, I fixed these things correctly and, doing it hardly took my just one to two minutes. Now, I can feel a sigh of comfort and everything perfectly placed around me. Below Figures present the situation after my actions. You know there is a special feeling of the weekend and specially of Sunday. This feeling comes from a specific type of mindset developed through repetition of several actions on a specific day. In my case, as I see the most cleaned room on Sunday therefore, after setting few things around me, I felt for a while like it was Sunday today. However, I feel just like free after performing these actions.

As mentioned earlier, these little items, if not accurately managed then they are like a burden on my brain and behave like a continuous irritation for me. While starting my work, I specially settle all these stuffs. So, there is no need for someone to ask me to fix these things because my actual work begins after completing task of settling these small stuffs.

Situation after fixing the things

Eventually, while doing these actions today, I remembered about the concept of leadership and its practice in daily life. It was since I was enrolled in an online course about skills required to develop leadership qualities, the last day.

I believe that this small activity of mine to fix little things was a practice of leadership also. As I did not wait for any authority like mother to ask me to do that, rather I accepted the responsibility and practiced my action. I am also eager to practice such leadership through some other activities in future, on daily basis.

Finally, I am feeling happy, free, and blessed at this moment!
