Day 21 - Keep Going - A Journey So Far

Starting my YouTube channel, Monday Musings, was less about a grand plan and more about following my passion. I didn’t set out with a clear vision of how many episodes I’d produce or what the exact topics would be. I just knew I wanted to share insights and concepts in management that resonated with me and, in the process, help others.

Over the last year, I learned that not having every step mapped out is okay. Some topics I planned for in advance, others were suggested, and a few emerged spontaneously. Each episode became a reflection of my learning journey—researching, preparing, and growing along the way. There were moments when I didn’t know what would come next, but instead of pausing indefinitely, I chose to keep moving. And it’s this act of keeping going that became my anchor.

When you’re unsure of the path, clarity doesn’t always come at the start. The process of pursuing itself begins to unfold the way forward. In the early stages, you might feel lost or wonder whether it's worth the effort, but each small step builds momentum. And sometimes, that’s all you need—just one more step forward.

The channel brought encouragement and feedback from those around me, and while the journey wasn’t always smooth, I’m proud of whatever little I’ve achieved. Looking back, the moments of uncertainty were often the moments of greatest learning. They taught me the value of perseverance, and how, in the pursuit of sharing knowledge, you end up gaining so much more.

Keep going—that’s the lesson. Whether it’s starting a YouTube channel, exploring a new field, or navigating through life’s uncertainties, forward movement is often the best decision you can make. The path will appear as you pursue it, and the horizon keeps expanding with each step. So, I’ll keep going, in pursuit of new knowledge to share, new horizons to reach, and deeper reflections to uncover. The journey continues.

Day 19 - The Power of Multidisciplinary Approach

In an era of specialization, many of the world's most successful people advocate for a broader, more holistic view—one that embraces a multidisciplinary approach to life. This approach involves combining knowledge and skills from various fields, leading to better problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability. Think of a Renaissance person like Leonardo da Vinci, whose expertise spanned art, science, and engineering, shaping innovation for centuries. Today, the importance of a multidisciplinary mindset has become even more crucial in navigating the complexities of modern life. The Impact of a Multidisciplinary Approach David Epstein’s book, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, provides compelling arguments for why those who explore a wide variety of interests often outperform their more specialized peers in the long run. Epstein highlights examples from sports, business, and science, showing that people who dip their toes into different fields are often...

What's Next

Life can get pretty tough if you have not decided on what's next. Because each time you achieve or do something on the go, you have to keep thinking about what's next.  Spontaneity is good to an extent. It can get you to a particular point, but then after you have to be sure about which way are you going to go or what you are going to do next.  There will come a time when you will have to sit down, reflect, and ask some tough questions to yourself. Do some soul searching in your quest to find out what is next.  Because you can't be aimlessly be shooting out in the dark and hoping to hit the target. Knowing where, what, why, and how you are going to aim for the target drastically improves and enhances your chances of hitting the target.  So the next time you think about what's next, think of it as a series of goals and objectives to help you achieve the big picture. Preparation combined with a dash of spontaneity takes what's next to the next level.

How Many Things Do You Do in an Hour?

How Many Things Do You Do in an Hour? Not finish, do. It’s different. Doing has nothing to do with finishing. Neither am I talking about productivity. I’m just asking — what do you do? Let’s see... You walk into the office. Grab a cup of coffee — if your office provides one. Sit down, open your inbox. You start typing a reply — But a word in that email triggers a memory. Oh, that call! The one you forgot to make. You pull out your phone. Dial. Done. Except… now that call adds a new task to your to-do list. (If you keep one.) Before you hang up, a colleague stops by. You end the call. You listen. It’s about that meeting you missed. Because you were in another meeting. A more important one. Apparently. You nod, thank them. Just then — your phone rings. It’s your manager. "Update me on the meeting you attended. And I hope you got the heads-up on the one you didn’t. Meet me in five minutes." You say yes. You turn back to the email — But remember: You had asked someone...
