Weekend Tasks - To do list style

Procrastination is one of my problem during weekends.
I plan a lot on weekdays but I always fail to execute it every weekends.
Maybe because of tiredness, laziness and my excitement to take care of my nephew always led me to unfinished tasks & frustration.
Yesterday, I decided to write it down. I woke up at 7am, earlier than my usual 9am wake up time and one by one finish all the tasks I have written down on this piece of paper.
 And I think it's effective. Sixty-seven percent (67% or 8/12) of the task I have written was done yesterday.

#1 I've finished reading one topic in Psychology in Alison courses after I wrote down my task yesterday. It was only last year that I've discovered my interest in this field and I was lucky to discover that there free online courses here -  https://alison.com/.
#2 #3 #4 #5 - Arrange / fix beddings, clothes, school stuffs, gadgets/chargers.
Plus I made this platform near my bed as my charging station last week then organize my stuffs yesterday. "Humingi lang ako ng piraso ng plywood sa office at bumili ng bracket sa hardware (P 40/pair). Nakakainis kasi yung kung saan saan ka pa naghahanap ng sasaksakan ng charger."
#6 Laundry Clothes. I usually laundry my clothes every Sunday & I always feel tired every Monday. Finally yesterday, I was able to do it. Sad thing, it rained outside & I needed to hang it inside my room to dry them all.
#7  Haircut - cut my bangs. I did it on my own to save P50, heheh . Sorry I have no photo of it right now.

#9 Arrange cord extension to outlet. After relocating the cord extension. I decided to have it in fixed position. I don't want any hanged extension cord inside our room.
And because I was too tired after those task, I decided to sleep afterwards. Then my mother & I went to the mall at 4 pm and went back home at around 9pm.

I was not able to do my # 8, # 10, # 11, #12 because I was so tired in the evening. But nevertheless I'm still happy that I was able to fight my lazy Saturday habit and finish most of my task yesterday. I think its good to have a written guide to battle procrastination.


How about you, do you have unfinished task during weekends?
How do you battle procrastination?


Just sharing my thoughts again!
Have a great week ahead.
God Bless.

Ps. the remaining tasks was done today! Mission accomplished :)

Second Goal : Be Healthy & Save Money Part 1


I once read this "If you want to save money, go on diet". It's like hitting two birds in one stone
 -  we save money by keeping our body healthy.

Last year I was so busy working that I sometimes forgot to drink water in between meals.
When it comes to food I eat and drink whatever I want --- burger, fries, spaghetti, pizza, softdrinks ( I'm addicted to it),etc. I eat veggies too but more often I eat what I feel like eating with softdrink as a partner. But I noticed during those days I always feel that my back is aching. After my annual check up ( papsmear & ultrasound ) they found out that I had endemetriosis cyst - so they scheduled another ultrasound after two months to monitor its size. What I did was researched on the cause of this cyst & know what the right foods to eat. And one of the main cause of it is dioxin that are usually present on the animal products. So I monitored what I eat-veggies & fruits specifically, I drink 2-3 liters of water a day, green tea in the morning as much as possible.
After 2 months I've got a positive result my endemetriosis cyst got smaller so my ob advises me to continue a healthy living lifestyle, no medication is needed just monitoring.

As I start the year 2014 I started journaling everything regarding my health.
From the foods that I eat, the amount of water I drink, my vitamins intake, check up etc.

My Second Goal:

*Eat Veggies & fruits daily---this two should always be present in everyday meal, its cheaper and its healthier than meats. And instead of softdrinks I turn to fruits-- 1 piece of banana, an apple, an orange, a slice of watermelon or pineapple, they only costs 10-20 pesos each or per slice. These fruits are always present in the market or in the place where we eat.








I also love sitaw, malunggay, kalabasa but I don't eat okra & ampalaya, waahhh but I'm trying now :)
"Basta kailangan ng prutas at gulay everyday, lessen meat intake."


*Drink 2-3 liters of water a day ----our body needs at least 2 liters of water everyday and an additional 1 liter to help us look younger & fitter. This is really helpful and its free at home & in the office, so I always bring water while travelling. I also have a friend also who's on diet & he advises me to drink water first before meals in that way it'll lessen my food intake.


" No to softdrinks & other artificial drinks --- plain water muna atleast 3 liters a day."




This is an easy goal to achieve but it also needs discipline to come up with good results, anyway veggies and fruits are cheaper and water is free so make the most of it.



Our health is our greatest assets if we don't take care of it---it'll be our biggest liabilities.

"Stay Healthy & Stay Focused".

First Goal : Go to church every sundays



I believe that whatever plans we have we should pray to God first.


I remember 18 years ago I was so down, that moment when my father told me to find a job.
I had a phobia on my first on the job training that I decided not to work anymore instead I just made rugs at home since its our family business and my plan was to study again. But my father told me " Nag-college ka pa ---gagawa ka rin lang pala ng basahan". I cried a lot that day, feeling so down and depressed, I prayed tearfully---that I may find a job --- "di man malaki ang sahod basta mabait ang mga boss."

On the next day I went to church and pray again, on my way home I bought a newspaper and looked on the classified ads. Then monday morning I applied & the next morning I started working already - an answered prayer. Im still working today on third company with the same nature of job. I feel blessed everyday because everything I've asked 18 years ago were answered -  working in a company with an atmosphere like a home where we act like a kids and with a boss who allows our childishness but still implements a certain rule to discipline us. And though life is full of ups & downs I'm thankful that my family is still complete and that we are still enjoying a peaceful and wonderful life today - these are the things that money can't buy.


Last year there were times that I was not able to go to church during sundays, but this 2014 I will complete my attendance here, not only on sundays but also during weekdays.

This is my first goal - Best effort talaga kay GOD muna :)


"Commit to the Lord whatever you do & your plans will succeed." Proverbs 16:3

January 17, 2014

Date of Birth : January 17, 1975 , Time of Birth : 7 pm - Happy Birthday Anak! - a text message I received from my mother…….waahhhh, I am now officially 39 years old and still single, a realization hit me as I feel now that I’m nearing middle stage of my life. So now I need to set a new goal & a new attitude before I reach 40.
 
1.)  The immature grace should me more mature now – I cant change the childish grace inside me but I really  need to, di na bagay sa age :(.

2. ) The sensitive grace should more insensitive but sensible enough - ang gulo no? -- ako na lang nakakaintindi nun,

3.) The pessimistic grace should be more realistic – Instead of worrying now I just need to figure out the best solution to all the problems that I think will come my way.

4.) The quiet grace should be more bold in expressing what I had in mind --- good luck to me hope I can do that at work.

5.) The silent grace should be more expressive now --- perhaps little hug to my mother will do – I need more oxytocin hormone now :)

  




My short term goal :

1.)  Go to church every Sunday—need to make a perfect attendance here.

2.)  Be healthy - fruits & veggies / day and at least 3 liters of water a day.


3.)  Exercise, Exercise Exercise !!! 15 min. to 30 min.walk  /exercise .

4.)  Have a health insurance - at least short term/1 year check up---done with it.

5.)  Kill Debt - one of the most difficult thing to do - not to use credit cards :(.

6.)  Budget, Budget, Budget - Live below means.

7.)  Have my 365 method short term savings--- need to start today 2014.

8.)  Have an emergency savings fund – ( for my health / family).

9.)  De- clutter my mind / simplify things --- hirap kasi ng maraming iniisip e.

10.) I will learn to cook ---- ang hirap ng hindi marunong magluto--sinaing lang sunog pa, hehehe
                                               kidding aside ---promise I will start to learn how to cook every sunday.
11.) Open a mutual fund ---- my latest goal this 2014


As of now, eto pa lang list of goal ko, more to follow.

Long term goal – on process pa.

Still needs a little time, to think of other things that needs to be done.


On my next post I will be writing about my short term goals to be more focused on achieving it.
