No ZERO days!


The single best productivity tip I ever received: No ZERO days. 

A "zero" day is when you don't do anything towards your target/plan/goal.

Take a vow to yourself: From today, from this moment onwards, you will live in a NON-ZERO system.
Feeling too tired to study? Read just one page of chapter. Don't have time to exercise? Do just one pushup.  But DO it.


Success doesn't come in a single day;  it's a result of long string of CONSISTENT NON ZERO days. 

Fibonacci series

I was leafing through a small textbook about Fibonacci sequence (1,1,2,3,5,8,13, 21, 34, 55… ) and its many practical applications. For example, you can quickly do an approximate conversion between miles and kilometres. 

Each number in kilometres is approximately equal its preceding number in Miles. Ex: 5 kms approximately equals 3 miles, 8 kms = 5 miles, 13 kms = 8 miles and so on. 


And by the way, Fibonacci series was originally discovered in India, possibly by Pingala or Virahanka.
