Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

– Abraham Lincoln

Something quite similar goes on when we use Sahaja meditation as a tool for improving our productivity. We all have busy lives and most of the time, we’re juggling different tasks and dealing with a bunch of different challenges, all at the same time. If only we had more time. And energy. If only there were more hours in a day.

But the secret lies not in managing time. Or the number of hours in a day. Or trying to make the challenges go away. It lies in managing and fixing ourselves so we develop sharp clarity and focus on our attention and improve the pace at which we get things done and problems solved. Our productivity, in other words.
