7 habits to Create a Work Life Balance

I wanna be rich,..... i wanna have lot lots of money...........stand tall like a pyramid, so so courageous....
no place i rather be......i wanna go down in history, i wanna make my mama proud..
(picked lines from Sauti Sol's song, "inspiring me".)

 
Well on a Monday like this, what can be better than a better focus on work, a better focus on making em $$$$$$....a better focus on making your empire....
as we focus lets remember that we need to have work life balance, and following are seven habits can help us to create this

1. Understanding what "balance Means"
“balance” doesn’t mean “equal.” Sometimes, either work or your personal life takes more weight, depending on what’s going on at the moment -- and that’s OK.just make sure you weigh and overpower either.

2.Let go of fear.
To develop a healthy balance between work and life, you have to first let go of the fear.The sky will not fall on you -- even if you’ve left several items unchecked on your to-do list.

3.Schedule important personal activities.
Block out your calendar for important personal events, and you’ll find they happen as they should. It can be tough to remember in the middle of a stressful business moment, but they’re just as important as any meeting.

4. Set boundaries.
If you’ve previously kept an open door policy at all hours of the day, shifting to a more limited availability can be frustrating to people who are used to having continuous access to you. Notify them of your schedule changes in a professional manner and reiterate that limiting your availability will improve your ability to meet their needs more effectively when you are “on the clock.”

5. Think carefully about where you live.
 Even if you can’t choose your city, you can choose your neighborhood. Do so with your ideal work-life balance in mind.

6. Turn off technology.
With smartphones and increasing demands on workers, we now live in an “always on” culture. However, you have power over your devices. Be intentional about turning them off (not just on silent) and taking technology breaks. It will help you tremendously by keeping you more focused during your productive periods.

7. Manage your energy, not your time. 
Instead of trying to schedule every minute of your time and push through your low-energy cycles, schedule your tasks according to your energy. Do lower-energy administrative tasks when you’re in a lull, and more important work when you’re energized.( i remember my former boss used to tell us, nothing productive can be accomplished after 12.p.m)

happy week.

The" Pambana na Hali yako "

Pambana na hali yako is one of the swahili phrase trending in Tanzania. In English one would translate it as " cope with your situation" but in my own translation i would  say "be brave to fight your life battles'' i am one among the people that have been using it so much, and just recently i watched a certain comic video by one of the famous Tanzanian comedian called "Mpoki"' . It made me sit down and  think for the first time, what does "pambana na hali yako" really means to an individual?to me? Well i got five thoughtful things It means that one must be willing to endure, persist and solve the puzzles that life gives him/her, one must manage everything that life throws at them. One must stay strong for him/her self and for the people that depend on him/her given any hardship, challenge.  One must be hopeful as long as s/he is still breathing. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how long it takes. ...

My views on the cryptocurrency world

A friend of mine mentioned to me something about cryptocurrency thing two years ago and i really never paid attention to it, mostly because i thought about the money theft and hacking things to do with internet. Then another friend of mine in Philippines told me again about this topic of cryptocurrency and how it is beginning to rock the world of money and investment, and i decided to give it my attention and start learning about it, just the basics of where to buy the coins,how to store them, how to sell and the charges involved, the types of them (bitcoin, litecoin, ethereum,zcash etc), their values, which one is leading, dropping, the knowledge of mining, renting and etc. It is basically a lot of information that one needs to really know what they are doing before investing.
