Things That You Should Do Before Reaching 20!

Hi everyone! Tips for today is some of the things that you should do before reaching 20 or what you should've done when you were 20. 

•  Respect your need for sleep by getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep each day

Cutting out sleep to have more fun or get more work done is a short sighted strategy. While you can pull off this strategy in your 20s to a degree, it is a destructive habit to form.

Being tired all day means that you will be able to make effective use of your time, no matter how organized you are. So make it a habit of getting those legitimate seven to eight hours each night.

•  Do a weekly review of the past 7 days

To get started with a weekly review, go through the following steps:

– First, review your calendar for the past week and the current week – look for loose ends, meetings and other matters that need further attention.

– Second, review your email inbox (personal and company email accounts) and achieve inbox zero.

– Third, review your goals for the year and make plans to work on them in the coming week.

This practice will help you to better plan your schedule and avoid nasty surprises.

• Plan to achieve four hours of real work per day

Did you know that project managers often assume people will be less than 100% productive per day? It’s true! You may have a standard eight hour work day but the reality is that only half of that day is likely to be highly productive.

The rest of the day will be taken up with meetings, responding to email, browsing the Internet and related activities.

Tip: Schedule your most important, high value tasks in the morning, before you get tired.

• Focus on a single task at a time (i.e. no multitasking!)

Multitasking is a wasteful way to work. Instead, you will achieve more if you choose one activity at a time. For example, allocate one hour in the morning to work on a proposal for a client, then give yourself a short break.

• Separate strategic and “brain dead” tasks

High value strategic tasks are what companies and clients pay for – coming up with new product ideas, ways to reduce cost and other improvements. However, it is difficult to deliver creative insights all day long.

When the last hour of the day arrives and you’re tired, work through “brain dead” tasks like installing security updates or tossing out old papers.

These are some the things that I personally recommend to you guys in order to have a healthy and not-so-stressed lifestyle. Hope you enjoyed reading, Till' next time! 

The Things You Should Do When You're Still Young!

Hi everyone! How are you guys doing today? I hope my readers is as fit as a fiddle! Today I am going to share with you on the things you guys should do before reaching your 20's or things that you should have done when you still young. Hehe, so here goes  :

Traveling more

One of the things that you should so is to travel. Before kids, and mortgages and marriages, when our commitments and expenses were lower, the opportunities for travel were much greater, but for some reason many of us thought we’d always have time for travel later. We dreamed of visiting the pyramids of Egypt, surfing off the Hawaiian coast, dining at a Parisian café, drinking espresso in Rome, trekking through the rainforest, and so much more. Sadly, many of us never made these journeys and the opportunity passed us by.

Being more responsible with spending

 In order to invest in our retirement or save for that down payment, we would have needed to make wiser financial spending choices. Things like buying or holding on to that perfectly reliable used car, instead of splurging on the new model…because we could, eating out less and saving for a house instead, buying fewer shoes and purses and clothes and paying off student loans sooner. So many saving opportunities lost, money spent on tangible things, instead of on the future.

Better planning

 I regret not focusing more on where I wanted to go in life, what I wanted to do, who I wanted to be and what it would take to get there. With some more planning in our twenties, we’d be further ahead in our 40s and perhaps a bit happier as well.

Seizing more experiences 

I wish I had learned to ski and paint, speak Italian and do the Tango. I regret not living somewhere else before settling down. Others have said they regret not pursuing their hobbies or learning to sky dive or mountain climb. I prefer to stay on the ground, but I do regret not learning more, not trying new things that are hard to fit into the life of a fortysomething working wife and mother.

Living a more active lifestyle 

The bodies of youth are wasted on the young… I wish I had run a marathon before my knees ached, that I had biked more, hiked more, and took spinning classes when my legs were stronger. I regret not joining a softball team or volleyball league. We don’t often realize that we have squandered our physical abilities until things start aching and creaking.

Making more friends 

I regret not reaching out more, putting more effort into creating a tribe of support that would carry me through more difficult times. We socialize sure, but many of us don’t put enough importance on building deep and lasting friendships. Some do, many don’t and wish they had.

Life is good; don’t misunderstand. Few of us walk around every day pining for our youth, at least I hope not, but we do occasionally look back with a wistful sigh and wish that we planned more, lived more, and stretched ourselves more when we had the freedom and energy to do so.

Till' next time! See ya!

Keeping yourself together ✌

Greeting readers!

Its been such a long time since I've last updated my blog, now here I am ready to keep you guys updated with my daily life as university student. Life has been so much hectic when I am entering the 4th semester of my diploma year. The most most important thing in order to overcome the hectic situations like having too much assignments and can't meet the deadline can be solved by being organized. Organizing is very important especially when you are still a student this is also pointed to those who are working. By organizing these are the examples of  the most important things in keeping yourself organized :-

✔ Writing things down

     - the saying goes nobody's perfect. not everyone remember every little things that they need to do or                   accomplish in a day. Therefore by writing things down, it can make your life more organized as it can              remind you on what to do next. 

✔ Make schedules and deadlines

     -  Schedules is one of the most important things that you should be starting off with. They recognize that            keeping things organized goes hand-in hand with staying productive. Remember to set deadlines and              goals. Those people who have the habit of staying organize usually don't waste their time. By having              schedules, don't forget to stick to the schedule or else there's no point of you making schedules in the             first place.

✔ Don't Procrastinate

     - Get rid of the task that you need to accomplish as soon as possible. The longer you defer onto doing            your tasks, the more difficult it will be to get it done. This can prevent you from being stressful and being        less demanding. remember, to put your 100% effort to get things done as soon as possible so that you         won't feel the weight on your shoulder.

✔Declutter Regularly

    -Find time each week to organize. Highly organized people make sure they find time every week, or more, to organize there things. Stuff does not stay organized on its own; it needs to be reorganized continuously and consistently.

✔Keep Only What You Need

   -More stuff means more clutter. People who live organized lives only keep what they need and what they really really want. Having fewer things also means that you enjoy those things more and feel better about using everything you own, rather than letting half of what you own collect dust.

To sum it all up, there are a lot of things that you can do yourself to keep your life organized. This will definitely turns you into a whole new person if you can get your things more organized, it can also decrease the stress level compare to your past if you were having such a stressful daily life. All of this is also as a reminder to myself, adleena please be more organized and don't be lazy. If you are interested on reading the whole article on how to organize you life, click here.
