An old saying goes: You don’t measure water with a sieve! In other words, in order to know how much time you will need to get something done, you have to manage where your time is disappearing.
We grow attached to clutter. It’s a simple as that. Garfield the cat says in one his cartoons: Food a funny thing, because the moment you are full it turns from temptation to garbage. The same goes for objects. The moment we attach a value to them, we practically hand them an unquestioned invite to clutter our lives (and steal our valuable time).
Here is something that I recommend you do at least once and preferable 2ce a year. I call it the Spiritual Spring Clean:
- Take a hard look at everything you own (and I mean everything!)
- Within 2 seconds place it in one of the following three piles:
- Keep for a specific (near-future: upcoming 6-months) purpose
- Give to someone specific
- Throw away in the bin
Uncluttering your life will have a trickle down effect on your mental state and help you re-focus your training.
Remember the Pareto rule? 20% of what you own will provide 80% you need (and 80% of your issues are born out of 20% of your activities!)
While you chew on that, watch professor Ryan Young's analysis of what's fundamental in jiujitsu and what's advanced. This may help you "spring clean" your arsenal of jiujitsu techniques.
