Fixing stuff around yourself…
Fixing things around you will come back and fix you in return.
I study and work on my desk, and as usual I started doing our course by setting my laptop and notebook on my desk. As I proceeded, there came this project of ‘fixing stuff around..’ and as I examined around, look what I saw.
Everything else belongs to a study table, except, let me zoom that in..
Apparently, it was no big deal for me. I would’ve cleaned my table after finishing my work. But, as the project demanded, I did it right then. I picked them up, washed them, and put on the kitchen counter, where they belonged. How was it any helpful? Let me tell you. Or more like, show you.
First of all, I made more space for my notebook, and for my thoughts to channel. Open area makes your visuals comfortable, and your mind more effective.
Secondly, I took responsibility for washing the dishes I used, instead of just putting them in the sink, which I definitely would’ve done after work because I’d be tired then.
Third, I saved my mother some effort in washing the bulk of dishes. However small, and this is such a good habit, they would wash their own dishes, no one would be burdened. And this is Sunnah too. So what other excuse do we require.
In the end, I would say that, doing minor activities everyday, and in your surroundings will get you in a habit of taking responsibility, completing tasks at hand then and there, and eventually you will be fixing things farther and bigger. Best of luck!
