How much time do you waste everyday?

Did you plan something last year but haven't got anywhere with it yet?
Do you ever feel like time flies and is out of YOUR control? Does time really fly?!

The question is: What DO YOU do all day?!

Then what you need is an EYE OPENER! I came across this infographic a while ago and it really changed my life. Not kidding!

The infographic is about
How The World's Most Brilliant People Scheduled Their Days


You can find out how you schedule your day using Excel Pie Chart. If you don't know how then you can visit http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/excel-help/present-your-data-in-a-pie-chart-HA010211848.aspx to learn how to do it! :)

The interesting part is, most of them socialized and exercised! Maybe we underestimate socializing or not doing it right! Networking is always a great way to meet people in your field. It takes effort but definitely worth it. Exercising is a must! I will share more on this. 

When I first calculated mine, I was surprised how much time I waste all day without realizing it! and worse than that, I used to spend 5% of my day working on my passion! which was half an hour. I thought being productive for half an hour was better than doing it for hours of not doing it right! BUT c'mon!!! half an hour?! I found on that I spent hours on the internet and other stuff. It was an eye opener for me and I hope it's the same for you!

Don't let tomorrow be an option!!!

How many times have you put something off until tomorrow? Almost everyday! 


Procrastination!

According to Wikipedia,
"Procrastination is the practice of carrying out less urgent tasks in preference to more urgent ones, or doing more pleasurable things in place of less pleasurable ones, and thus putting off impending tasks to a later time, sometimes to the "last minute" before the deadline."




The thing is: It is important, it's usually what benefits us most when we accomplish it! But we simply don't and choose to put it off. 

The problem is we don't even realize that we are procrastinating. We waste more energy on thinking about it rather than getting it done.
