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.

Being a Teacher isn't Easy

I work with teachers but I'm not a teacher. I actually work in the admin department and I like my job though sometimes it can be challenging especially when I feel swarmed by it. Or when my boss keeps calling me for work related stuffs especially when she is doing the approval for payment or vetting through. So, the headache. Anyway, I can honestly say most teachers are really nice though some are really driving me up the wall. That or they are just simply aint nice but then, it is also because of their personality. But as teachers, they are really dedicated. I also deal with parents and honestly, they can be demanding and very irritating and they are not scared of the higher authority in school. To them, they are being like that all because they care for their children but they are overbearing as if they don't let their children make mistakes and learn. Plus, whatever their children said, they believe every bit of their story though they are not there to see for themselves an...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...

Our First Group Meeting After Graduation

It has been a long time coming since the last time we met was on Graduation Day although I did meet up with 3 of them quite recently for a birthday celebration. I somehow never seem to miss out on any of the gatherings including the time when we went to a coffee shop after our stressful Econs exam papers. Still don't know how we survived that miraculously..haha.. Anyway, I've always been a silent supporter to this friendly bunch of people who always make me feel inclusive knowing that I am a lady of few words, haha.  We went to this restaurant called PU3 and although the service staff should really write down orders so that we don't always have to remind them that two of our drinks had not arrived get our orders wrong. I mean it's for their customers' benefit and also their own so that they don' undercharge their customers. Just saying. They serve Nasi Ambeng served in a big dulang or tray that is meant to be eaten by 2, 4 or 6 people which is m...
