Five facts about effective time management for you

By Lilly Harper in Anywhere  |  2 years ago  |  0 comments

1. An hour of planning can save you ten hours of doing. Don't head into big projects without setting out goals, how you will achieve those goals and the most important part, setting times by which they have to be accomplished. This will save you a lot of time trying to make decisions on the spot which will make the project take a lot longer.

2. Use a to-do list, 70% of business and professional people do to stay on track. It helps out a lot if you find that when you finish a step you need to look at what you need to do next, especially if they aren't connected steps or even part of the same project. Most of us are working on more than one thing at a time. Make yourself accountable to one thing, the list.

3. A project will usually spread into the time allotted for it. If you only put one thing on your to do list, you are most likely to spread it through the day. If you add another thing to the list in the early part of the day, you will probably get them both done. If you have six or seven things on the list, you might still be able to get them all done in the course of a day, that is a huge improvement over the one thing you were going to get done before.

4. Take a speed reading course. The average reading speed is two hundred words per minute. Most people have to read for at least two hours a day for work. A speed reading course can double your reading speed. That gives you another hour to do more productive things.

5. Take an hour a day for self improvement. If you spend one full hour a day on a topic you want to improve in, that is seven hours a week (almost a full work day), and 365 hours a year (and more than two straight weeks without sleep) you can become proficient and even master any topic of your choice.

Remember that time management isn't just about doing things faster, but also about doing the right things the first time.

How to Keep Your Workers Happy

By Lilly Harper in Anywhere  |  2 years ago  |  0 comments

Best-selling author Tom Rath looks at the link between work-life balance and personal happiness.

You also found that happy workers spend six hours a day socializing. How is that even possible?

Well, we counted time spent chatting on e-mail and IMs in addition to time outside of work. And this is a good thing: Studies have shown that when an employee has a best friend at work, he or she is likely to be highly engaged and much more productive. Meanwhile, for an employee who doesn't have a friend at work, the odds that he or she will be highly engaged are quite low.

Take a break at work - Breathe

Rest and renewal at regular intervals of work is good not only for your body, but also for your mind.  

In his book, Sleep and Wakefulness, sleep researcher Nathaniel Kleitman discovered something he called the "basic rest-activity cycle" — which lasts 90 minutes. Our sleep goes from light to deeper and deeper and then all aver again, from deep to light.  He observed also that our bodies work the same way during the day. When we are awake, our energy level goes up and down every 90 minutes.

Watch this video to see a simple technique of relaxing and resting at work.

Facebook Security Tips

By Lilly Harper in Anywhere  |  2 years ago  |  0 comments

Facebook launched new security features to protect users from spam, malicious attacks and privacy violation.

Now Facebook allows you to approve the devices you commonly use to log in and then to be notified by email or text message whenever your account is accessed from a device you haven't approved.

Try it out by going to "Account Security" on the Account Settings page. 

When we see that someone is trying to access your account from an unusual device, we'll ask the person to answer an additional verification question to prove his or her identity as the real account owner. For example, we might ask the person to enter a birth date, identify a friend in a photo or answer a security question if you've previously provided one. These questions are designed to be easy for you, and hard for a bad guy, and we've already seen some great results.
