How to spend free time at home to accomplish your goal? You can accomplish a goal much quicker with the right mindset.
Yesterday I made a creativity test that my mentor gave me by listening to him through the audio cd. It was a 6-minute test. I was told to grab a paper and a pencil. I was feeling excited. What did I have to do? I had to make a creation.
I thought “I have a short time to do this and I must think of something good. ” Thinking lead me to my wish. I said to myself “I will create my office, where I will work.” So I started to draw my office like I was dreaming about. I am not a great drawer, but anyone could tell what is in the picture.
I was drawing and thinking of my dream. I am sure that I was smiling during my creation. I draw a window, sun was shinning, and tulips were bathing in the sun. I saw myself sitting in a very comfortable leader chair at a beautiful oak desk.
Pictures on the wall were the soul of the office and made a room alive. But something was missing in that room. Oh my gosh, books! I made a big bookshelf with different kinds of books in it.
There was also a burgundy couch for the relaxing on the side. I had a mighty chandelier that made my office even richer (not in the term of money). In general, my office will be old-fashioned, in brown–white and pearl colors.
My boyfriend was measuring the time I was creating. When he said I had two minutes more, I was at the end of drawing my desirable office. I finished, and we wanted to know what the mentor will tell us.
This creativity test had one meaning. I was supposed to be interrupted and stopped when creating after six minutes. Well, I finished on time (I was on a timer).
But never mind, we listened to the mentor and what does he has to say. He said” Those who were stopped during creation, how did you feel?” The main point here is that the person should be stopped during his creation and this means negative emotions.

How to Spend Free Time at Home to Accomplish Your Goal?
Time management is crucial for success. How do you spend your day?
Student’s 100% Responsibility
We are different and have different lifestyles. Some people are athletes, businessman, housewives, gardeners, architects and so on, there’re many types of occupation. We have small and big goals.
But beside our occupation we can have other objectives. For example, a student’s primary job is to finish a college. So, his time is spent on homework and learning.
Let’s say a student has a burning desire to become the best programmer in his town. He is so ambitious and committed to his programming that he spends the most of his free time learning.
He made a commitment that all free time activities will be subordinated to programming. He made a time management plan which also includes people in his life.
He told his family and friends about his goal and explained that this is his primary objective in free time.
His bellowed understood what he said so they respected his wish for studying in free time and not being around them so much. This is a good example of a person who is taking full responsibility for success.
Student’s Indecision and Lack of Burning Desire
Here we have a student who has the same goal of becoming a great programmer like a student before. But this student is indecisive. Let’s look on his approach.
He is a good student. When he comes home, he eats, changes his clothes and goes to his room to program. After 15 minutes his telephone rings. He takes the phone and see that his best friend is calling. He spent 35 minutes on the phone talking with his friend about yesterday movie that was on TV.
He continued his work after the conversation, and he was deep in programming an application that will help people fix the problem with their mobile by themselves.
He was so into it that he forgot the time. He was doing well and his codes worked properly. All was fine till his father shouted and asked him to come down so that he could help him with the mower.
He was pissed, and all his positive energy and focus disappeared in one second. He stopped with his work and went to help his father. He has a lot of distractions and his work is not progressing as it should.
This is an example of a person who didn’t take control of his actions and responsibility. He let others influence on his life and possibility of success. You are the creator of your life, not others.
