Organizing your workload creates a sense of control and peace of mind, and there are many ways to do it. One way to do this is to adopt time management, prioritize tasks, and schedule their execution. Moving from one task to another and stacking it up often becomes an additional source of stress. Decentralizing tasks or asking for help as needed is also a good way to reduce stress levels.

Aditya Parekh, co-founder of Faering Capital, 40
July 10, 2017
I had just returned to India from the United States. I knew I wanted to become an entrepreneur and I had just graduated from MBA (Wharton School). I did not know exactly what I wanted to do, but I knew that the trip would start with a return to India. It was where my friends and family were. I left for 12 years and it was time to come back. I moved in 2006 and in 2009 I co-founded Faering Capital and the rest belongs to history.

I was sitting at home, planning my next idea. I had left my job at ICICI Bank and was thinking about my next move. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and try something from me. I was literally at home for a year. That's how I got the idea of Citrus Pay (acquired by PayU). There were boring and depressing moments, but I persevered.

It was close to the London Olympics. I was in search of Olympic gold and prepared our first Olympics. This has turned out to be fantastic. I never think too much in advance and I have never been someone who thinks too much. If you do good things, good things come.

At 30, I discovered myself a little. I do not want to sound cliché, but at 30, we just had children and we try to settle down and find ways to move forward. Now, I am much safer, at peace. Steve Jobs once said, "Do not let other people's voices drown your own inner voice." This comes true when you reach the age of 40. To be 40 years old is a wonderful feeling and I hope to feel even better when I'm 50 years old. .
