(EASE)PAGHETTI: How Productivity Can Bring You "Pataas at Pababa"

Grind whenever you like, but progression will always be in the middle of spotlight—"Pababa o pataas?"

         
          As the upbeat sound starts with symphonized melodies of working rhymes for people torn in do or not, most of them ended up craving for the spaghetti with recipe of knowledge to receive a bomb—Beginning with a high five and shaking off the pain from their bust to their waist, there is surely no time give off in waste.
         
          Have you ever heard “mamaya nalang”? Have you ever realized that every second cost a lot? Every word may give a headache but without any progress, you will be stuck just like plain spaghetti getting cold on a plate.
         
          Having something to put their hands on, those who are insanely productive have developed habits that produce the most positive results. In fact, the Economy Policy Institute revealed that 20% of employees find it very easy to accomplish daily tasks but people work 45 hours per week and consider the rest of the hours to be unproductive.
         
          “You see, in life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.” said by Herb Kelleher, American billionaire airline executive and lawyer.
         
         It is more worthy to pass without any record of late than to procrastinate. An article from Micro Biz Mag stated that 15.6% asserted that they never procrastinate, 14.4% admit to procrastinating rarely, 27.4% do their important tasks sometimes, 22.1% often work, and 20.5% admitted that they procrastinate daily. Only 1 out of 5 people function productively without worrying about cramming on work.
         
          Hence, many approved that finishing a work is satisfying. Through this, a way of developing skills, abilities, and competencies to enhance and improve the performance is realized. An opportunity to improve, elevate capabilities and escalate from their past level of learning is sure something that gives them a content sigh at the end of the day.
         
           Tasting every seasoning by working and licking the sauce of success. Some experts claimed that clear writing is a sign of clear thinking. By being productive, there is a relevance to the goals and greater objective of the small action and progress that a person made.
         
          "Because the tasks are so quick, it isn't too hard to follow the rule—but it has big results. Accomplishing all those small, nagging tasks makes us feel both calmer and more energetic because we're not dragged down by the accumulated weight of a mass of tiny, insignificant tasks." stated by Gretchen Rubin, author of Better Than Before and The Happiness Project.
         
          Perhaps, writing and productivity helps people to feel good giving them a sound head. For every "mamaya nalang" could lose a chance to attain knowledge and every second, minute, hour the willingness has to be serving—interesting spaghetti that will not bring you down, but pushes you up.
         
          Within a countdown, migraine might startup but progression will always back up. The high fives will turn into claps and recognition, ending everything with a bang. Just like a pasta plainly long and soft but more worth it with a sauce, it's either you choose to bring yourself  “pababa o pataas"—“Oh ano mga darling, ready na ba kayo?”
