Taking Small Actions Every Day

When you look at the big picture, or looking at the list of things that you have to do is so daunting and all you want to do is curl up in bed, I know exactly how you feel. It's like there are times I think, do our life revolve around this only? Lists and lists of things to do?

But then I figured the usefulness of figuring out what are the things that I have to do each day and they don't always have to be an incredibly boring list. Basically, I treat it as something that I want to achieve in doing to have a better quality of life and to provide better things for the family.  Sure, the excel formulas can get rather confusing, or the online quizzes seem to pluck out the questions from outer space. But as I go along learning them, and slowly getting passed the difficulty through understanding and several practices, I see them as stepping stones to something bigger in future: a certificate and a diploma at the end of the ordeal programme. The presentations that I have do also make me a better individual where I am able to project myself out clearly to others by knowing the right things to say and capturing their attention.

One of my biggest problem is productivity and motivation. I think they both go hand in hand. Previously I talked about not having to wait around for motivation to come about but to simply start now. So the next thing I need to tackle is productivity.

My brother showed me an article online that is so useful, I think I ought to share here. However, I couldn't find that article. Instead, I found another one that is just as useful and you have to read if you have productivity issues like me. 

The main thing to do is to be productive every single day. Oh, and to get yourself a calendar also so that you can mark out a big red X to signify hey, you have been productive this day. Don't think too much of the past like regretting not doing this or that, or be scared about how the future would be like. Conquer today first. Break down your tasks into manageable portions and work on it every day. Wanna lose weight? Do something daily that will contribute to the weight loss. Wanna save money? Try saving your loose change each day or watch your spending by eliminating the things that you don't need to buy. Wanna write more blog posts? Schedule about minimum 10 minutes each day to write a simple blog post and on days you have more things to write or have more pictures to post, then dedicate more time for it, like me, you would notice I  write more or post pictures on weekend.


Why don't you read the article below so you can get the gist of what I have been talking about. I think it will really boost your productivity level. Everyone is given 24 hours a day. But it's a matter of being committed in finding the time, whether you have to wake up earlier, or typing out the draft on the phone while commuting..it's basically trying to make good use of the whatever time you have.

One Step at A Time

Hello there It has been a while, right? I used to treat this blog as a place for me to rant, talk about nonsensical things and interests that, when I think back about it, were pretty cringeworthy. But it was part of the process of me growing up and navigating through my life which is full of ups and downs, just like the tidal waves. I still need a form of outlet to write out my thoughts and I have been journaling for the last few years. At first, I was still writing nonsense, or simply writing about how my day went, but I try to make it a more conscious journalling where I will write about things that I can take lessons from or to reflect on. So how has life been for me? Well, I no longer am running an online shop where I used to do customised cards and then just specializing in box cards. I do want to have an online business, preferably one I don't have to travel to meet people.  If you read my last post about being zen, I think I have 'tripled' the amount of zen inside of...

Listen to Me

It kinda irks me when I am trying to express an opinion or sharing a piece of knowledge but it's met with strong objection or Im being cut half way before I even finished. I mean...come on...does it hurt to actually listen first, doesnt matter if u agree or not? Yes I know everyone is entitled to their own opinions but it's frustrating because I feel like a sore loser. That sort of conversation is actually begging to be turned into some huge argument if I am equally annoying and equally strong headed as well. But I dont want to do that especially if they are my friends. Then again, I am subjected to being called a wimp or somebody who cant stand up strong against what she believes in or her own opinions. That will sorta give the person a sense of pride for getting a landslide victory. At first I used to think that hey, maybe the person has a point and I am wrong. But come to think of it, that's bull! It's one thing not to argue and another thing to let ur own opinions b...

Not Gone from Good

Life hasn't been good lately especially in the last two weeks. The latest news is that it seems that almost everyone has an increase in their pay due to changes in the civil servant wage scale and very unfortunately, my group didn't get it. So my boss, whose post is that of a manager and the operations manager, have quite a significant salary rise.  I heard she got a 10% pay rise. 10%!!! look, even the attendants got a pay rise. What we got? nada! zilch! Why? Because apparently our salary is of a competitive range. Sigh, such is the unfairness of life. I'm already struggling as it is and then apparently now, the rich has become richer. The poor remains nothing but a destitute mess. So I guess the only chance for a pay rise is for me to be promoted and though I do not know how much pay rise will that be, at least it is going to be slightly better. The problem is that I have no clue when I will get promoted. I am not one of those people with many super ideas that will great...
