In order to use time efficiently, we need to determine which of our works we will devote more time to and which we will devote less time to, in order to avoid complexity. In other words, we have to determine the priorities in our lives. You are the one who creates our future with the choices we make. In order to manage our lives in a healthy way, stop procrastinating and focus on your priorities without wasting time.
There is an experiment that explains the importance of Time very well; “The Boiled Frog Experiment”. If you put a frog in boiled water, it will immediately jump out or struggle to get out. However, if you put the frog in room temperature water and do not startle it, it will stand still.
In the meantime, if you gradually increase the temperature of the water, an unpredictable situation will occur. As the temperature gradually rises, the frog does nothing, and you even seem to be in a good mood. As the temperature continues to increase at a certain level, the frog starts to stun a little and no longer comes out of the water.
Although nothing is stopping him from trying to get out, the frog waits to be scalded where it is. In some of these experiments, it was observed that frogs save their lives by jumping when the water reaches a certain temperature. However, since most frogs cannot perceive the slow change, they think that the conditions they are in have not changed and die after a while. So while many frogs fall victim to learned helplessness, few react to their changing circumstances and find a way out sooner or later to save themselves.
It cannot be said that the situation is very different for us humans. We do not take action without sudden changes or threats in our lives. Although our water is slowly warming up, we do not move from our place.
We take refuge in the confidence of our comfort zone, even if the temperature level of our comfort zone rises. For this reason, it is very important to plan the time well, evaluate it, use it realistically, and make point-and-shoot choices.
There are hundreds of thousands of people who change their lives and priorities after coming face to face with death for any reason. These are the people who realize the danger and prefer to go out when the water gets too hot.
Even the longest journeys start with the first step.
Many people find countless excuses not to take the first step instead of making their dreams come true. Often, these people who are very creative in finding excuses; We hear “I have no time”, “my conditions are not suitable at all”. In fact, when I say “I don’t have time”, it means “I have no self-discipline”; They do not realize that when they say “my conditions are not suitable at all”, they are saying “I have a little bit of pain and a headache”.
People who realize their dreams don’t have much time either. They prefer to make time rather than find time, and instead of succumbing to circumstances, they choose to create conditions. Realizing dreams is not quick and easy.
It takes time..
You need a plan.
Self discipline is required.
Patience is needed..
We wish you to give the most precious time among all that we have.
Learned helplessness
Learned helplessness is behavior exhibited by a subject after enduring repeated aversive stimuli beyond their control. It was initially thought to be caused from the subject’s acceptance of their powerlessness: discontinuing attempts to escape or avoid the aversive stimulus, even when such alternatives are unambiguously presented.
Upon exhibiting such behavior, the subject was said to have acquired learned helplessness. Over the past few decades, neuroscience has provided insight into learned helplessness and shown that the original theory actually had it backwards: the brain’s default state is to assume that control is not present, and the presence of “helpfulness” is what is actually learned first. However, it is unlearned when a subject is faced with prolonged aversive stimulation.
In humans, learned helplessness is related to the concept of self-efficacy; the individual’s belief in their innate ability to achieve goals. Learned helplessness theory is the view that clinical depression and related mental illnesses may result from such real or perceived absence of control over the outcome of a situation.
