‘Fixing Stuff Around’ is one of the things we rarely do when we are tired of a very tedious and somehow lengthy task. And we don’t even think of clearing and fixing things around knowing that it is one of the important things that we should be doing concurrently. If things are not properly arranged and in a timely manner, a point comes when it really gets difficult to arrange everything because of their increased volume.

It starts with this activity “Fixing Stuff Around Yourself” of Amal Course.

When I came across this activity. It was demanded in this activity that you have to examine the environment around you and think of something that is not at the right place and need to be fixed and do fix it. It seemed challenging at first but later I realized that this activity is really going to be exciting and memorable and hence let me share with you what I saw beside me that needed fixation.

Here it is!

table we just put everything on after use

Don’t be afraid. I’m just gonna clean it.

So I just found this table by me in my room which had everything in the world on, it doesn’t matter which thing belongs to where we just put it on this table after use. I started to pick things one by one and put it in their right place like I removed the calculator first because it isn’t supposed to be here anymore and shifted the computer mouse on its place as it is no longer in use. After that I removed the plate having banana in it and the rest of the things which do not need to be here. After fixing all the things, I noticed that something is missing yet, but didn’t know what.

Oh!

It is the table’s top, the glass is dirty. It needs cleaning, yes it does.

So here it is the fixed table.

Perfect!

Now this is looking like it should be. Well it feels good to have things in their proper places but it is such a difficult task, especially for me when I am busy with my project work and don’t feel like I have time for this kind of practice called “The Cleaning”. So if it is not due to this activity I mentioned earlier I might not even think about fixing it but I did, thanks to this activity of Amal Course.

This activity really taught me that no matter how important it is that I am doing, I should dedicate a time for this kind of small-looking practice which no doubt has greater advantages and outcomes. Undoubtedly, it is an act of leadership without authority which we should practice on a daily basis in which we have to be aware of our surroundings and try to do things to improve it, continuously.
