Successful People

The past two weeks have been very challenging for me. I’ve been juggling books, work load, deadlines, reports and of course, personal relationships. It’s been hectic, to say the least, and I had to go back to my time management manual to get tips on how to utilize my time effectively. Work - family and work - social life balances are challenging acts, very challenging. I feel that my employer needs to do much more in terms of educating staff on especially work-family balance. This is a fundamental aspect of our lives, just like our health, that the organization needs to have a keen look at, as well as train staff on, how to balance the two. Failure in one, may spell doom to the other.

Action point: Successful people
I got this article from a newspaper column and thot it wise to share with you….
Successful people are those who do things when they are supposed to be done whether they like it or not. Discipline and delayed gratification can be achieved through building a system of rewards and punishments for yourself. There should be a price to pay for indulging yourself and a reward for resisting temptation. When you complete something that needs to be done, reward yourself.
Having an accountability partner is also important. The simple human desire to appear competent to someone else is often enough to control your spending.
