Have a nice day! Because you can

 



Productivity is the measure of how much you get done in a day. It's not just about working hard, but about working smart. You want to make sure that every minute of your time is spent wisely and productively so that you can reach your goals as quickly as possible.

Why are goals important? Because they help us prioritize our tasks, give us direction and motivation when we feel stuck or overwhelmed by life, and keep us focused on what's important in our lives (and not just what seems urgent).

Clarifying Your Goals

  1. Identifying what you want to achieve
  2. Breaking down goals into smaller tasks
  3. Setting deadlines

Creating a Plan

  • Create an action plan. When you're working on a goal, it's important to know what steps you need to take and how long each one will take. This can help you stay focused on what matters most and prevent you from getting overwhelmed by the details of the project.
  • Organize your tasks and schedule your time accordingly. If possible, break down large projects into smaller ones so that they're easier to manage in terms of time management and energy levels--and don't forget: if something isn't working out as planned, don't be afraid to change course!

Staying Motivated

To stay motivated, you need to develop a positive attitude. This can be as simple as reminding yourself that you're doing this for yourself and that there are many reasons why it's worth it.
One way to reward yourself for progress is by keeping track of your goals in some way. It could be something as simple as writing them down on a piece of paper or using an app like HabitBull (which we talk about later). Either way, seeing all the things you've accomplished will make it easier for you to keep going when things get tough!
If at any point during your journey toward achieving your goals, if feels too hard and overwhelming then reach out for help--there are lots of people who want nothing more than helping others achieve their dreams!

Prioritizing

Prioritizing your tasks is one of the most important steps in setting and achieving goals.
You need to understand the difference between urgent and important tasks, as well as how to avoid procrastination.

Managing Stress

Stress is a normal part of life, but it can also be harmful if you don't manage it properly. The signs of stress include feeling anxious or irritable, having trouble sleeping, losing your appetite and feeling overwhelmed by your responsibilities.
To avoid these symptoms, try taking regular breaks throughout the day to relax or engage in self-care activities like exercise or meditation. If you're feeling stressed out because of work-related issues (or even personal ones), talk to someone who can help ease your mind--whether that's a friend or family member who will listen without judgment or a therapist who specializes in stress management techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Eliminating Distractions

To stay focused on your goals, you must eliminate distractions. Distractions are everywhere and can come in many forms:

  • Social media
  • Text messages and emails from friends and family
  • Phone calls from colleagues or clients
  • Television shows that you want to watch but don't have time for (or vice versa)
    The first step in eliminating distractions is identifying what those distractions are. Next, create a workspace where you can focus on your work without being distracted by anything else--this might mean turning off notifications on your phone or computer so that they don't pop up every few minutes with new messages or updates; it could also mean moving into another room altogether if there are too many outside factors affecting your ability to concentrate on the task at hand. Finally, once all of these steps have been taken, try staying focused by setting aside blocks of time during which only one thing gets done: either work or play (but not both).

What is your body count?

That was the question I was asked today...The evening was going quite well for me until it went from "This has gotta be the best night ever" to "Oh no he didn't!". My facial expression changed in that instant from a smile to outrage: it became glaring that this question was off-limits. I moved around uneasily in my seat; I began thinking about how best to address the situation without coming off as the 'Crazy b***h!'  Peter was a good friend, and oftentimes we would discuss random topics of interest and argue endlessly- they were resolved amicably each time but this one wasn't one of those.  I honestly don't know how we went from discussing random things to, "So, do you mind sharing how many people you have had sexual encounters with?" I was in shock for a few seconds, If I had been drinking at the time I would have choked on it and spat it out in shock! Why was this piece of information important, why would anyone want to know the numb

Let’s talk about grown-up stuff: Let’s talk S.E.X

It was 9: 45 pm and I was getting really bored watching the news, so I figured it was time to go to bed as I had an early start the next day,  I got into bed and decided to browse the internet for a bit. Social media is such an interesting place; I mean, you think you will be there for 10 mins and boom! It’s 2 am! That was exactly what happened to me. I was just about to force myself to sleep, then the phone rang,  it was my friend Bunmi “ Hello, Zee...are you awake?”  she asked  “ Yes, I am” I responded as I rolled my eyeballs; who did she think was speaking to, a robot? “I’m glad you are awake” she continued “ I am depressed”. That got me. I was now worried. It was past 2 am and I figured it must be something urgent. "Are you alright, is everything okay?” I asked hurriedly. “ Yes, well No” she continued “ It's just that I am getting really frustrated in this relationship” she added. She went back and forth about how she loved her man and how wonderful he was but she d

Hello, My Name is Doctor, Chief, Evangelist, Prince, Prophet John Doe

I got a WhatsApp message today......and it was not the usual. The recipient who was somewhat a client thought it was appropriate that everyone in the group chat knew he was not ordinary and so he made sure it sank in! “My name Doctor, Umezulora 1, Evangelist, Apostle......” This was how he would end every message. It may look like a joke to some of you but unfortunately it was something we all had to put up with. I had met this client a few days back and he seemed like an intelligent/warm individual but, what I could not understand was why he had to introduce himself using all his titles. It was funny at first, but I became worried afterwards. I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry or pull my hair out in frustration. I looked around the room to see if anyone rolled their eyes every time he did that but it seemed the rest of the team were fine with it......so I thought. The  meeting ended in high notes, I gave a quick excuse as to why I had to leave early so I didn’t have to hear h
