Set GOAL and COMMIT

Discipline is key if you're looking to stick to your goals. It involves waking up every day to complete the tasks, regardless of whether you are feeling the best or not. One such activity is blogging (i set my goal on this!); it might sound like an easy thing to do, but it makes a lot of difference in the long run.

To begin with, set clear goals. Ensure that you understand where you are going. Then, divide these intentions into smaller daily activities. Each day can consist of writing a blog post. And even if it is not perfect, still, it is a step in the right direction.

You will need daily discipline that is for guiding you on the right path every morning, though not every day may start off well. Some days you may feel tired or busy to the point of not being able to write but still you do this as first step.

It's about showing up everyday - no matter what. No matter how short the time you spend on it, how imperfect it is.

So....once we set our GOAL let's COMMIT. Keep pushing forward one step at a time!

Time Management 101: Prioritize What Matters Most

Does it ever feel like time is slipping through your fingers and leaves you puzzled at where it all went? Do you find yourself in a place where you regret the loss of hours due to so many distractions around?

Hey, join the club. It's a common struggle for many of us, myself included.

Admittedly, there are so many ways and life-hacks out there to manage our time properly. But now, let's just get real, not all of them fit everyone like a glove. So, let's start easy, fix your biggest time-wasting habits.

What about Netflix? We've all been there - watching for three hours straight. It comes down to this: confine yourself to only one hour and if this is something you can't accomplish, then it may be time to eliminate Netflix from your life.

You will be delighted what 30 hours a month can do to your productivity. Extra 30 hours! Imagine that.

And social media scrolling. We've all been in that situation where it seems like minutes turn into hours before we realize it, and that's when regret begins to kick in. Set a timer for twenty minutes and then return to the work. There are apps for instance, that are designed to help you in the process of getting your life back on track.

A the end of the day - it boils down to what matters most. Is Netflix weaker than financially managing your life? Does wasting time on endless scrolling for no good reason outweigh the benefits of your productivity?

Finally, the decision is ours to make. It is about the act of taking control of our time and setting priorities for what we really need. So, what'll it be?

Embracing 'Ex-Stock'

I'm having a casual chat with a friend, and out of the blue, he throws this question at me: "Can I refill my detergents this week?" Now, here's the kicker – I happen to run a little side gig: a detergent refill station. It's my small way of contributing to the battle against plastic waste, one refill at a time.

Anyway, back to the convo. He drops this term on me: "ex-stock." And I'm sitting there, scratching my head, wondering if it's some kind of secret code. 

So, being the curious soul that I am, I ask him to break it down for me. Turns out, it's just a fancy way of saying "available immediately."

I know, I know – not exactly the most mind-blowing revelation. But hey, you've gotta celebrate the little victories, right? So here I am, geeking out over my newfound vocab: ex-stock. 

Who knew learning could be this thrilling? 😄

Reclaiming Time: Embracing the Write Way Forward

 Isn't it crazy how time just slips through our fingers? One moment we're making plans, and the next, it's a whole new month staring us in the face. But hey, that's life, right?

Lately, I've been doing some serious soul-searching. You know, the kind where you ask yourself the big questions. And one thing I've realized is how often I've used the excuse of being "too busy." But let's be real, is it really about being busy, or is it just a fancy way of saying I've been slacking? Procrastinating.

Well, no more of that for me. It's time to shake off the dust and get back to writing. And what better way to reconnect with my own self by sharing a piece of my world a few times a week?

So, here's the plan: I'm making a commitment to write three times a week. Short, sweet, and straight from the heart. (So help me God!)

Till tommorow!
