A Bit At A Time

This site is a compilation of my personal notes of seminars, lectures or workshops I've attended, books or articles I've read or audio books I've listened to. It also stores my reflections of my journeys, on roads less travelled and otherwise. This site is for busy people who don't have time but want to change themselves for the better. How? By progressing a bit at a time.

'Where do I begin?' you may ask. You can start by looking through the categories on the right and see which area you feel would benefit you most first.

Stop Procrastinating II

Reaching Goals and Dreams

  • Define at least 1 major and 1 minor goal (minor goal can be a subset of major goal)
  • Use Visualisation - clip photos in the mind
  • Take a Time machine trip to the future - the ill-effects of procrastinatio and benefits of being effective
  • Consider your options
  • Liking what job you do
  • Set Target Dates
  • Knock on many doors - ASK people
  • Rewrite your Life Script!
  • Believe in the Power of the Will

Improve Interpersonal Behaviour

  • Reject the temptation to be passive. When tasked to do a job which you dislike, don't take your own sweet time (procrastination). Stand your ground and state why you shouldn't do it.
  • Play by the Boss's rule. A negative attitude is to procrastinate because you want to avoid resentment. A positive attitude is to accept the delegation readily and positively. Maybe more opportunities will open when you do the task.
  • Avoid wearing social masks. To get our own way, we hide our true feelings/motives.
  • ~ The Slowpoke - slow motion
  • ~ The Creative Person - Cannot do anything 'ordinary' because highly-talented
  • ~ The Whining Person - Wants sympathy; overburdened, therefore uses this as excuse for procrastination
  • ~ The Tired Person - Escapes blame because of tiredness
