Wednesday’s good morning.. Singapore time! :)

Haha..

—

A flurry of learnings to come through. :)

-> Took my 2nd GMAT and done this time once and for all – debrief coming through.

-> Moved into a new place and spent the first few hours unpacking. The relief at the end of it was brilliant! :)

-> Learnt so much from Mom in her stint here.

-> Missed a Singapore time good morning quote. A Hawaiian time Good morning coming up soon I hope..

-> A flurry of tasks left to be done during the day today.

-> And nice special personal time coming in the evening! :)

Here’s to my last day as a non-working professional! :)

By now, thanks to a decent aware of self awareness, I am very aware that I’m rushing when I am (which is HUGE improvement compared to before)

But even then, my mental guards are not up for mistakes..

And they happen all the time..

Should have more mental checkpoints..

Rushing doesn’t save time.. More time is lost in the clean up of the mistakes caused when rushing.

Big learning!

Have a great week! :)

We have two eyes and just one tongue, which means we need to look twice and talk once.

We have 2 ears and just one mouth, so we need to listen more than we talk.

We have two hands and one stomach, so we need to work twice as much as we eat.

We have two major brain parts, the left and the right, and one heart, so we can think twice but love only once.

Isn’t it amazing that our body parts remind us how to live right?

Thanks to Val..

This is a continuation of the overwhelmed post.

Here is what really worked..

1) Took a long walk with a football (kicking a ball helps!)

2) Picked each problem one at a time and took one action to make it get better.

This process took 2 hours and it helped big time! 3 out of the 5 solved itself within the next 24 hours. 2 to go now.. :)

Have a nice day! :)

I hate using the S word to describe being overwhelmed. I’m just going back to a post I’d written about being overhwhelmed here.

With some changes to my previous

1) WRITE down all that’s bugging me into a white piece of paper
2) Pick out simple next steps to improve the situations in each of the following
3) Prioritize..
4) Start slow and focus!

The point is that if we are overwhelmed, it means we are stretched and being stretched is good because ‘we don’t grow in normal‘..

So there you go.. Here’s to a better process..

Focusing on one thing at a time..

Easier said than done..

Makes all the difference in the world.

I’m thinking I need to implement a checker to ask myself if I’m doing so or if I’m multitasking (even in my head) and losing focus all over again.

Another check is if I am rushing – that’s generally a clear indicator of no focus..

Here’s to that happening in the next few days!

Ha Ha..

Happy friday and weekend ahead! :)

Deep and profound..

Good morning.. and good day! :)

It’s back to Singapore today after the longest break yet in 4 years.. :)
