Small Tips:

Reducing mobile usage

👉 Measure

Check your phone usage and apps u spent time on every week. Many times you dont even know how much time you are wasting on mobile apps. Android users can use free apps like Steps to reduce usage

👉 Physical distance
Keep the phone with the internet switched off and away from you while studying. You can also keep it locked and with a parent/ friend. Heavens will not fall while you are studying and if it is something urgent, you will get the message.
👉 Technological solution:

Use apps like Blackout to block internet for at least 6 hours every day. Force yourself to study in that time. It is not a free app, but it is very effective. Once it blacks out the phone, you can't go back for the period
👉 Early morning study

Keep the alarm away from you, on loud volume. Most likely once you get up from the bed to switch off the alarm, you will decide to not go back to sleep and study. Early morning study is the best these days especially as it has lesser distractions

To increase focus

👉Keep short focused Sessions
- Do 90-minute/2 hr intensely focused sessions
- Take 15 min break after every session

You cannot maintain focus for longer than that at one go. Measure the session. Till the alarm goes off, dont do anything else but study

👉Practice Tratak meditation

This is known to increase focus
Fix your eyes on an object. This can be the flame of a candle, a pencil, a spot on the wall.
👉 Binaural beats

Listening to Binaural beats which are sound vibrations of 40 Hz helps in
a) Enhances focus
b) Decreases amount of time it takes to get into a focused state

These can be obtained from youtube

👉 Exercise & Outdoor

- Exercise preferably outside, at least a 20 mins walk
- Get close to nature - go to a park and walk/sit
- Get some sunlight even if for 5-10 mins

👉 Nutrition

While studying we forget to take care of nutrition. A balanced diet helps in increasing focus. Also reduces the need to munch on snacks.

An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears.

The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it? Now have a look here!"

He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks: "Well, how was that?"

The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!"

The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that?

Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?"

The AirBus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry."

The moral of the story is: When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.

This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older and Smarter.

Dedicated to all ~ it’s time to slow down and enjoy the rest of the trip.

Bull of Falaris" The Dangerous invention of the ancient invetor

Thanks to Lucian, the 2nd century AD satirist, we know quite a bit about the torture machine known as "the brass bull of Perilaus" or "the bull of Phalaris".
The sculptor Perilaos between 570-560 BC.
he made to the order of the tyrant Phalaris, a brass bull that could fit an entire man inside. When they lit a fire under the bull, the one inside was roasted alive and his voices were heard, through a special mechanism, like the bellowing of the bull.
When he first presented his invention to the tyrant of Acragantas of Sicily, he ordered Perilaus to be put inside the bull and made his first victim.
It was a fitting end for the inventor of such a diabolical machine.

Congratulations 🎊 To Ms. Paras Muhammad Mirani. She has cleared the CSS and has been allocated to OMG.

‘Meet Saad Bin Ubaid: The Engineer cm Police Officer.
The most irritating question I get is why did I waste 4 years of my life pursuing Engineering when I had to shift my career in the end. Well, an Engineer is who I am. It is part of me.
If given another chance I would take the same path again. This is a complete myth that joining Civil Services means a wastage of what you’ve done before that.
I am using the knowledge, methodology, thought process into my career in Police Services and hope to engineer new ways of providing justice to the society, one which is fair and available for all.

IMPROVE YOUR WRITTEN EXPRESSION:

English is most essential and prerequisite of CSS Exam. The very prime cause of concern which an aspirant comes across has been the Dilemma Regarding Written Expression. This myth has somewhat been presented as a very q***r and hard-to-get kind of phenomenon.
ASP Kamran Adil says, Excellent command on English language is a pre-requisite. If a person's English is not up to the mark, even ten years of preparation will not help him. One does not get birth with the mastery over a language. One learns it through consistent hard- work and efforts. Improving language is a continuous process. One should be clear in expressions. As Mathew Arnold says, ìHave something to say, and say it as clearly as possible". The more one writes the better expressions become. Mind is receptive: One should read and listen more to be good at writing and speaking. As Francis Bacon says,

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.î Write on daily basis and get writings checked by an English teacher. Read dawn, magazines, novels, and different books to learn and improve English and expressions. Try to write in a precised way in own words what you read. And, indeed, brevity is soul of wit. Bring brevity and beauty in your composition; write in flow along-with coherence and unity. Practice! Practice! And Practice is the only way to achieve impressive expressions and striking English. My slice of advice might look irrational to some but it's quite useful since I have myself found it quite effective.

1. On daily basis, for merely 2 hours, select paragraphs from the newspapers randomly and read those one by one and write their crux.

2. For instance, take up a paragraph, read that out twice or thrice and then quickly and precisely write down whatever you are able to recollect.

3. Such practice will help you in different perspectives.

4. Your writing practice will immensely improve..

He emphasizes the importance of implementing systems and processes that make good habits inevitable and bad habits difficult.

The book is divided into four parts, each addressing a crucial aspect of habit formation.

He explores various strategies to apply these laws in daily life, including habit stacking, habit tracking, and the power of environment design.

Part Two delves into the "Four Stages of Habit Formation" – cue, craving, response, and reward – providing practical techniques to master each stage effectively. Clear introduces readers to the concept of habit stacking, where new habits are linked to existing ones, thus increasing the likelihood of their adoption.
