My insomnia causes me to be productive during the best time of day: when everyone else is asleep, I can finally focus and get work done without being interrupted. Definitely valuable to me personally.
As far as any valuable habits at work, I do well to not be as stressed as everyone else. From the philosophy of Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy that I try to live by: No matter what situation you find yourself in, DON'T PANIC.
This, however, can appear as a blessing and a curse: The fact that I come off as too down to Earth or too laid back or lackadaisical, which can upset my supervisor or co-workers because it appears I'm not taking something seriously [enough], although I certainly am, I'm just not stressing about it as much as everyone else.
Whatever the situation, there are only two outcomes: We'll either get through it... or we won't.
Since life is pretty much in a linear dimension, especially when it comes to work, it would be rare that we wouldn't get through any situation and we'd eventually move forward and learn from whatever we went through.
And again.. the downside of this? I'm probably more likely to get passed over as someone who could be in a "supervisory" or "management" position. The plus side? Less stress ;)
- Keeps one mentally sharper
- Increases self discipline
- Feels good
- Anti-aging benefits
- Increase self esteem
- etc.
However, it goes deeper than that. What drives people to get up and go to work? How about to study for an exam? What about video games?
In almost every part of our lives there's either a whip close behind us or a carrot in front of us. The motivations for these things comes from our reptilian brain which knows only pleasure and pain.
However when you decide to exercise, you're overriding the reptilian brain with the commands from your neocortex.
This overriding is one of the most important things in life. It's not enough to do it just once or for a few weeks. When that level of control becomes part of your life, it changes who you are.
1. Earlier I used to procrastinate but now I have overcome it by 50%. The power of ruling my mind is the most valuable thing for me.
2. I usually write 200 words a day, it keeps my mind healthy and busy.
3. I share my knowledge free of cost. I don't want people to be a follower but I want to create more leaders.
There's been lots of times where I personally didn't want to do something or learn something, but realizing that I was responsible for whatever that was helped me keep doing what I didn't feel like- and ultimately that results in happiness and a sense of accomplishment.
