Okuqukethwe
Akunandaba ukuthi uyadweba noma uyabhala, uqamba umculo noma uthwebula ividiyo — ubuciko bukhulula, bushintsha kakhulu impilo, umbono wezwe, ubudlelwano nabanye. Kodwa ukulondoloza inhlalakahle yakho yokudala ngezinye izikhathi kudinga umzamo omangalisayo. Umlobi uGrant Faulkner, encwadini yakhe ethi Start Writing, ukhuluma ngendlela yokunqoba inertia.
1. Yenza ukusungula kube umsebenzi onzima
Kuhlala kulula ukuthola okuthile okungcono kunokubhala. Izikhathi ezingaphezu kwesisodwa ngike ngabuka ngefasitela ngemva kwamahora amade ngisebenza futhi ngazibuza ukuthi kungani ngingayi ekampini nabangane, noma ngiye ebhayisikobho ekuseni, noma ngihlale phansi ukuze ngifunde incwadi ethakazelisayo. Kungani ngiziphoqa ukuba ngibhale kuyilapho ngingenza noma yini nje ejabulisayo engifuna ukuyenza?
Kodwa uma ababhali abaningi abaphumelelayo benesici esisodwa esichazayo, ukuthi bonke babhala njalo. Akunandaba - phakathi kwamabili, ekuseni noma ngemva kwesidlo sakusihlwa sama-martinis amabili. Banesimiso. “Igoli elingenalo uhlelo liyiphupho nje,” kusho u-Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Umkhuba wuhlelo. Uhlelo lokuzipha. Kuyasiza ukucekela phansi noma isiphi isithiyo esikuvimbela ekudaleni, noma ngabe isithiyo esingokwengqondo noma isimemo esiyengayo sephathi.
Kodwa akugcini lapho. Lapho ubhala ngezikhathi ezithile zosuku futhi usesimweni esihloselwe ukuzindla kuphela, uzuza izinzuzo zokudala. Ukujwayela kuyisimemo sengqondo sokungena eminyango yomcabango futhi ugxile ngokugcwele ekuqanjweni.
Umjikelezo unikeza umcabango indawo ephephile nejwayelekile yokuzulazula, ukudansa
Ima! Akufanele yini amaciko akhululeke, abantu abangaziphathi kahle, abathambekele ekulandeleni okufunwa ugqozi esikhundleni sokulandela isimiso esiqinile? Ingabe umkhuba awubhubhisi futhi uvimbele ubuciko bokusungula? Ngokuphambene nalokho. Inikeza umcabango indawo ephephile nejwayelekile yokuzulazula, ukudansa, ukudilika nokugxuma emaweni.
Umsebenzi: yenza izinguquko ezidingekayo ohlelweni lwansuku zonke ukuze ukwazi ukwenza umsebenzi wokudala njalo.
Cabanga ngesikhathi sokugcina lapho ushintsha isimiso sakho sombuso? Lokhu kube nomthelela kanjani ekusunguleni: okuhle noma okubi? Yini ongayenza ukuze usize izibopho zakho zansuku zonke zisize ubuhlakani bakho?
2. Yiba yisiqalo
Abaqalayo bavame ukuzizwa bengafaneleki futhi bedidekile. Sifuna ukuthi yonke into ihambe kalula, ngomusa, ukuze kungabikho izithiyo endleleni. Okuxakayo ukuthi kwesinye isikhathi kuba mnandi kakhulu ukuba ngumuntu ongazi lutho.
Ngobunye ubusuku, lapho indodana yami ifunda ukuhamba, ngayibuka izama. Sasicabanga ukuthi ukuwa kubangela ukuphelelwa ithemba, kodwa uJules akazange ashwabe isiphongo sakhe futhi waqala ukukhala, eshaya phansi ngokuphindaphindiwe. Wasukuma, enyakaza ngapha nangapha, ezama ukulondoloza ukulinganisela, njengokungathi uhlanganisa izingcezu zephazili. Ngemva kokumbheka, ngabhala phansi izifundo engazifunda emsebenzini wakhe.
- Wayengenandaba noma kukhona ombhekile.
- Yonke imizamo wayesondela kuyo ngomoya womhloli wamazwe.
- Wayengenandaba nokwehluleka.
- Wajabulela zonke izinyathelo ezintsha.
- Akazange akopishe uhambo lomunye umuntu, kodwa wayefuna ukuthola indlela yakhe.
Wacwiliswa esimweni se-"shoshin" noma "ingqondo yabaqalayo." Lona umqondo ovela ku-Zen Buddhism, ogcizelela izinzuzo zokuvuleka, ukuqaphela, kanye nokufuna ukwazi ngayo yonke imizamo. “Kuningi okungenzeka engqondweni yabaqalayo, futhi uchwepheshe unengcosana kakhulu,” kusho umpetha weZen uShunryu Suzuki. Umbono wukuthi oqalayo akakhawulelwa ngohlaka oluncane olubizwa ngokuthi “impumelelo”. Ingqondo yakhe ayinakho ukuchema, ukulindela, ukwahlulela nokucwasa.
Ukuzivocavoca: buyela ekuqaleni.
Cabanga ubuyele ekuqaleni: isifundo sokuqala sesiginci, inkondlo yokuqala, isikhathi sokuqala lapho uya kwelinye izwe, ngisho nokuchotshozwa kwakho kokuqala. Cabanga ngokuthi yimaphi amathuba owabonile, ukuthi ubuke kanjani okwenzekayo, yiziphi izivivinyo ozenzile, noma ungaqaphelanga.
3. Yamukela Ukulinganiselwa
Ukube bengikwazi ukukhetha, bengingeke ngiyothenga noma ngigcwalise imoto. Ngangiphila ngendlela ekhululekile, ngivuka ekuseni futhi ngichithe usuku lonke ngibhala. Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho ngingakwazi ukufeza ikhono lami ngokweqiniso futhi ngibhale inoveli yamaphupho ami.
Eqinisweni, ukuphila kwami kokudala kunomkhawulo futhi kunesiphithiphithi. Ngisebenza kanzima usuku lonke, ngibuyela ekhaya, lapho nginemisebenzi yasendlini nemisebenzi yokukhulisa izingane. Ngihlushwa yilokho mina ngokwami engikubiza ngokuthi «i-angst of scarcity»: isikhathi esanele, imali engenayo.
Kodwa uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, ngaqala ukuqaphela ukuthi nginenhlanhla kangakanani ngale mingcele. Manje ngibona izinzuzo ezifihliwe kuzo. Umcabango wethu awuphumeleli ngokukhululeka okuphelele, lapho uba yimfucuza evilaphayo nengenanjongo. Ikhula kahle ngaphansi kwengcindezi lapho kubekwa imingcele. Imikhawulo isiza ukuvala ukuthanda ukuphelela, ukuze ukwazi ukuya emsebenzini futhi uqale ukubhala ngoba kufanele.
Ukuzivocavoca: Hlola amandla okudala emikhawulo.
Setha isibali sikhathi imizuzu eyi-15 noma engu-30 bese uziphoqe ukuthi ufike emsebenzini noma nini uma uthola ithuba. Leli su lifana ne-Pomodoro Technique, indlela yokuphatha isikhathi lapho umsebenzi uhlukaniswa khona ngezikhawu ezinamakhefu amafushane. Ukuqhuma kokugxilisa ingqondo okulandelwa amakhefu avamile kungakhuphula ukuguquguquka kwengqondo.
4. Zivumele ucikeke
Izigigaba eziningi ezibalulekile ziye zafa emakhulwini ambalwa eminyaka adlule, kodwa mhlawumbe okunye ukulahlekelwa okungacatshangwa kakhulu ukuntuleka kwesithukuthezi sangempela ezimpilweni zethu. Cabanga ngalokhu: ugcine nini ukuzizwa ungenalutho futhi uvumele ingqondo yakho ukuthi ikujabulele ngaphandle kokuthinta ifoni yakho noma isilawuli kude?
Uma ufana nami, ukujwayele ukuzijabulisa okuku-inthanethi kangangokuthi usulungele ukuza nanoma yiziphi izaba zokubalekela ukucabanga okujulile okudingekayo ukuze usungule ukusesha okuthile—noma yini—ku-inthanethi. Njengokungathi i-Net ingakubhalela isigcawu esilandelayo.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, izifundo ze-MRI zembule izinguquko ezifanayo ebuchosheni bemilutha ye-inthanethi nemilutha yezidakamizwa. Ubuchopho bumatasa kakhulu kunanini ngaphambili, kodwa ukucabanga okungajulile. Njengoba sibanjwe amathuluzi ethu, asinaki izifiso ezingokomoya.
Kodwa isithukuthezi singumngane womdali, ngoba ingqondo imelana nezikhathi ezinjalo zokungasebenzi futhi ibheka izisusa. Ngaphambi kwenkathi yokuxhumana komhlaba wonke, isithukuthezi kwakuyithuba lokubhekwa, umzuzu omangalisayo wamaphupho. Kwakuyisikhathi lapho umuntu ayekwazi ukuqhamuka nendaba entsha esenga inkomo noma ebasa umlilo.
Ukuzivocavoca: hlonipha isicefe.
Ngokuzayo lapho unesithukuthezi, cabangisisa ngaphambi kokukhipha i-smartphone yakho, uvule i-TV, noma uvule umagazini. Zinikele esithukuthelweni, sihloniphe njengesikhashana sokudala esingcwele, bese uqala uhambo ngomqondo wakho.
5. Yenza umhleli wangaphakathi asebenze
Bonke banomhleli wangaphakathi. Imvamisa leli kuba iqabane elinamandla, elifuna ngenkani elivelayo futhi libike ukuthi wenza konke okungalungile. Mubi futhi uyazidla futhi akanikezi izeluleko ezakhayo. Ucaphuna iphrozi yababhali bakhe abathandayo futhi abonise ukuthi basebenza kanjani, kodwa ukuze akuthobise kuphela. Eqinisweni, lokhu kuwukwenziwa samuntu kwakho konke ukwesaba nokwakheka kombhali wakho.
Inkinga ukuthi ungalithola kanjani izinga lokufuna ukuphelela elikugqugquzela ukuthi ube ngcono.
Umhleli wangaphakathi uyaqonda ukuthi ngaphandle kwesiqondiso nokuzibophezela kwakhe ekwenzeni okuhle, udoti owubiza ngokuthi uhlaka lokuqala uzohlala udoti. Uyasiqonda isifiso sakho sokubopha ngomusa yonke imicu yendaba, ukuthola ukuvumelana okuphelele komusho, inkulumo eqondile, futhi yilokhu okumshukumisayo. Inkinga iwukuba ungalithola kanjani izinga lokufuna ukuphelela elikukhuthaza ukuba ube ngcono kunokukucekela phansi.
Zama ukucacisa imvelo yomhleli wangaphakathi. Ingabe kuyakushukumisela ukuba ube ngcono ngenxa yokuzithuthukisa (“Ngingaba ngcono kanjani?”) noma ngokwesaba ukuthi abanye bazocabangani?
Umhleli wangaphakathi kufanele aqonde ukuthi esinye sezithako zokusungula sijaha imibono ehlanyayo ngamagquma nezigodi zomcabango. Ngezinye izikhathi ukulungisa, ukulungisa, nokupholishwa—noma ukusika, ukubhaxabulwa, nokushiswa—kufanele kumiswe.
Umhleli wangaphakathi udinga ukwazi ukuthi ngokuvamile kufanelekile ukwenza into embi ngenxa nje yokuyenza. Kudingeka agxile ekuthuthukiseni indaba yakho ngenxa yendaba ngokwayo, hhayi ngenxa yokubukeka kokwahlulela kwabanye abantu.
Ukuzivocavoca: okuhle nokubi umhleli wangaphakathi.
Yenza uhlu lwezibonelo ezinhlanu zokuthi umhleli omuhle wangaphakathi ukusiza kanjani, kanye nezibonelo ezinhlanu zokuthi umhleli omubi wangaphakathi ungena kanjani endleleni. Sebenzisa lolu hlu ukuze ubize umhleli wakho omuhle wangaphakathi ukuze akusize uma uludinga, futhi axoshe omubi uma ekubambezela.
