no long blog about what i achieved last year??? (i achieved some stuff but thats another whole blog) but here's somethings i've learned which i thought i'd share with you.
as you get older you realize even tho you take up more serious responsibilities, you seem more carefree. how come?? remember you used to really look up to some people when you were little. maybe it was your uncle or your older cousin. guess what, now you're one of those people. you're in their shoes. but things aren't that herculean if you know how to get things done.
its important to commit to continuous improvement of your daily life. there are alot of things in our daily lives we do ...inefficiently. there's always a way it can be done better. to save more time and effort. so constantly look out for ways to improve the quality and efficiency of your life.
So here's some ways i've learned and experimented to keep this stressful life stress free, chilled out and streamlined as much as possible. your mood is one of the most important things. your daily performance will depend alot on your mood so keep your mood intact
sleep less, but take breaks before you get tired.
i sleep like 5 to 6 hours a night. but during the day i would take 1 to 2 cat naps. this helps me work longer without getting tired.
wake up early morning
I'm still working on this. I used to be a morning person when i was working back home. but now with classes late in the evening its not easy. So instead I head to the gym in the morning 3 times a week. that's becoming a daily thing. Find a good reason to wake up early.
work out
like above. working out is not only good for physical fitness but it has emotional benefits too. Every time i wanted to beat the shit outa someone or tell someone off (thanks to some lazy front office person or poor service).. i would let out that steam in the gym. Swimming is good too if you got access to a pool.
play good music
this is a no brainer. play some good upbeat music in the mornings as you start off your day in high gear. when traveling, when doing pretty much anything. but only motivating music, not those sad songs (why are all malay songs sad songs btw??) or songs with dramatic lyrics about complicated relationship problems. buying that ipod i always have on my ears is one of the best things i bought.
spend less time on facebook
This is quite hard and i'm still working on it trying to limit the times i go on facebook a day. but if you didnt realize, facebook takes up alot of time. I'm trying to make it just twice a day. in the morning and in the night. Same goes with email.
Get a bike
before i had a car back home, i used to ride a bike. what i realized is i'd spend less time stuck in traffic as compared to when having a car. of course there are some things you cant do of other things as having compared to having a car, like taking more than 1 person or moving taking a lot of stuff. getting stuck when it rains. Anyway saving time or not. riding is much fun compared to driving.
just a few. more coming soon.
