Work In Series or Work in Parallel – (499)

Always Wondered which is Best

I have always wondered which is the best way to do things in life and in the esoteric and psychological work. Here is what I have found so far.

Many of the Same

From working at factory packing boxes with a variety of different items, I found by trial and error that the best way for me and also the guy who taught me was to not to complete one box and then the next and then the next but to lay out all the boxes and then put 2 brackets for example in each box then four screws in each box, then four nuts in box, then one console in each box, then one user manual in each box and so on, until each box was complete then close each box and tape them all up one at a time. This way worked out to be the quickest and the most enjoyable and less tiring actually.

We can work the ego this way too, it is crazy to just work on one ego until it is dead and forget the others, because the others can get very active, distract us and even cause us to make some big mistakes. So we can work on one ego decently then do the same practice on another ego and so on. There are times though that we just have to use will power to control the other egos and work very hard on one because it is making our life a living hell and also putting our path in danger.

Many Different

When at work we may have many different tasks to do. I have found the best way to go about that is to work in series, that is work one at a time. The trick though is to write a list of priorities. I often do the small and easy ones first then tackle the harder and longer tasks next.

Concentrating and focussing on one task at a time is very good, it gives us continuity, keeps one thing in our centres and makes life simpler. When we work on many things at once, that is work on something then switch, then switch back, you soon get the lost feeling or the tired and dispersed feeling. This is because our attention and energies are being dispersed among too many different tasks. We often at the end of the day we can’t remember what we have really done.

We can work on the ego this way as well.

Conclusion

Perhaps if you are wondering also which the best way to work at things, then maybe try these suggestions out and see how you go. I think it is really worth while finding out which way to do things is best for us, because it will help us to make progress and save us a lot of time.
