Prioritize your work and optimize your time, My Dear Colleague!

It's been the 4th day since I started my full time work. Oh ya, i am employed.
Everyone here is independent, but not everyone is efficient. hmm... how sad.

And I would like to dedicate the article below to my colleague:

Regardless of whether you are a student, work at home mom, a web designer, or a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, prioritizing your work is critical to your success. Failing to prioritize your work load usually results in being extremely inefficient and extremely stressed out. How many times have you thought to yourself “I have so much to do today, how am I ever going to get it all done?”

There is no exact science to prioritizing, but there are several tips that should help you become a more efficient, less stressed version of your current self:

* Make a list

* Consider time constraints

* Consider people constraints – all things equal, move things that other people are waiting on to the top of the list. If you know that your manager can’t finish his proposal without your part, that’s more important than the thing that you always do on Wednesday that could just as well be done on Thursday.

* Consider the consequences – are you going to get fired if you don’t do something? Is another task going to give you the inside track on that promotion? Those things should be more important than mildly inconveniencing the sales manager by responding to their email a day late.

* Re-prioritize as necessary

* Remove unimportant items

I can see that Malaysian Food is being promoted. Alot of food blogger recommending nice food around their area, TV Program such as Ah Xian, Chui Ling's (yat yat mm can) always visit local food stall or restaurant to promote them. This is a very good effort!

Came across this article where they place their food on the map. We can do the same by placing food around malaysia on a table. For display or really for food tasting, up to your imagination.

Swing my way out

I am starting a new life. Nothing much to do with design, however a lot to do with skills of organization, interpersonal, self-discipline, motivation, intelligent, accuracy, efficiency... Perhaps this qualities will somehow bring me one step further in my career, even life.

Part of my life is going the wrong way, I've tried a lot of stuff, be it activities, hobby, sports, job nature. Some said I'm greedy. I was just eliminating things that are not essential to me. My path is getting clearer now, anyone celebrate this with me?

My smile and laughter are real. I know that I always have, just like a girl on a swing.

The Future is Analogue

慢行

都係稳食啫点解要将自己摆底一味枱高自己
又唔见得你又几威压力太大係你以为自己唔够人快
又冇睇下会有几个成功几多个垫底

顾下你嘅脚步 咪再行到咁快啦
你有分数 你有你要去嘅路
你有你既一套 最理想嘅路
讲又一套 最弊到了最后你又冇去做
