Mathematics and Life 44 The results mindset

The results mindset 


It is a fact that across the globe, teachers are respected for their contribution in building nations, societies and individuals. I came to know that in some countries the teaching profession is so respected that anyone who has Teacher mentioned on the Passport is not even checked like others.


However, today we will discuss my idea of what we can do as teachers to get the respect which has tangible benefits too in terms of enhanced income, more privileges and followers too. And all happening professionally, as a part of working, in an organic way, without having to please anyone.


Today we will how to improve our results. The first term out of the acronym of Respect we discussed yesterday.


We can ourselves do it as well as train students to develop some processes to be more productive and get better results


  1. The touch and finish rule. Take a task and work on it to completion. Leaving it undone and reapproaching it later, requires more efforts again. I finish writing this blog from idea to posting in one go. Sometimes write till 7.59 am and post at 8 am 

  2. Write down your plan. It can be in the form of drawing, bulleted points too but note somewhere 

  3. Set small goals. Nothing kills productivity, makes you overwhelmed than being blindly ambitious. Same way, do not expect students, children, doing too many things perfectly and in the nick of time

  4. Plan ahead. This I have to learn and practice to avoid 7.59 syndrome

  5. Avoid over committing. Many people, specially ladies, find it difficult to refuse some task and keep piling up works. Some others take all orders coming and then dilute quality 

  6. Stop multitasking. You may listen to music that is background music, but working on 3 files open and working on all at the same time is not a very productive way of working. Take one matter, complete it, take another, complete it.

  7. Take the hardest task first. We are most energetic in the beginning and then gradually it reduces. Take that call you have been avoiding, mail you have to kill and do it first. It will relieve lot of stress and free you 

  8. Observe your most productive time of the day. I am in my Elements 4 am to 8 am, you decide your most favourite time of the day and do key tasks that time.

  9. Minimise interruptions. As such, the attention span has been reduced to less than few minutes. Put your phone on flight mode. I put on charging too and charges much faster in that mode. Family, if working from home,  should know it is your work. I know many good advertisement agencies where the creative team is not available to clients before lunch time.

  10. Set time limits. Think that you are going to publish a newspaper. If does not reach readers by 8 am, it was good only as trash. Looses its significance. Likewise, you too decide time limits. Like, I start to finish developing these posts in about 40 minutes or so.

I have restructured, putting my context, on the core thought presented by my favourite Brian Tracy

My Journey as a Maths Teacher – Part 2

  🧒 From Grade 3 to Guiding Future Teachers It gives me immense pleasure to be of some help to my younger mathematics teaching colleagues like Shruti Goel, Laly, Preeti Garg, Misha Nambiar, Rajendra Paliwal , and many others—across subjects and across schools. But things weren’t always this way. 📘 The Indore Phase – Simplicity, Struggle, and Silent Growth After leaving Mumbai in 1988, I served as a school teacher at Choithram School, Indore , till 1992. I even taught Grades 3 to 5 in a single session . Yet, the spirit was always high. I loved taking classes, creating activity sheets, and even wrote articles I mailed to U.S. education journals —long before emails were common. If there was one shortcoming I admit, it was in checking large stacks of answer books. I often rationalised, “I’m a creative person, so it’s okay.” In hindsight, it wasn’t—but the honesty helped me grow. 🔄 The Decade of Churn (1988–1997) It was a whirlwind decade. Imagine this combination: Ph.D. ...
