3 Habits of Stephen Convey

Come to think of it.. i've been practicing three habits of Stephen Convey to the fullest.

They are:
1. Begin with the end in mind. This habit comes more often of late since i started my own businesses. But i must add that we all must have options in our strategic planning. Long gone the days when we spend great effort to come up with one strategy. Scenario planning is of utmost importance. And always have exit plan though most hate to think about that. 

2. First thing first. These days i woke up asking myself "what's the most important 3 things i must do and complete today." And i set myself to do them immediately. At nites, i think about next day, next week & even next few months ahead.. i feel satisfied whenever a task is completed and look forward to a new task..

3. Think Win-win. To succeed in this world and more importantly, to be happy, we need to think win-win all the time. It has become a habit and spiritual guidance for me. It works! If u set your mind to this habit. And u will win friends. Greed & selfish thinking is not going to bring u friends and happiness on your life journey.

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.


2. Overeating

It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.


3. Smoking

It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.


4. High Sugar consumption

Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causingmalnutrition and may interfere with brain development.


5. Air Pollution

The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.


6. Sleep Deprivation

Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.


7. Head covered while sleeping

Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.


8. Working your brain during illness

Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.


9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts

Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.


10. Talking Rarely

Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain
