Deadlines |
| Maxim told
me he knew of no other culture which uses such a severe word as
DEADline to indicate the time when something is due. So I decided
to check it out. I ran to my Larousse, which indeed seemed to
struggle with a translation. It gave two words for deadline; date
and limit. Eva from Argentina couldn't come up with any Spanish
word even close to deadline. And my friend, Radomir said in
Serbian the word means “the ending time”. In Hebrew the
translation was “last season”. Other cultures seem to take
life easier than we do; they have softer words and concepts and
give some leeway. Read More... |

Essentials
in Time Management |
| Life
is filled with essentials, and if we do not have the ingredients
to make it work, then we are out of luck.
Time management is one of the most important essentials in
our life. If you
think about it, we have 24- hours in each day, and seven or eight
of those hours dedicated to sleep.
One of the golden rules is “Sufficient for each day, for
no one knows tomorrow.” This
is very true, because we do not know if a hurricane will wipe out
our neighborhood, or if an act of disaster will hit our area and
change all the plans, we made.
So the steps to finding essentials in time management
should be evaluated carefully.
Planning is one of the elements to managing time, yet plans
can change. This is
why it is important to make a list of the tasks you are assigned
and complete them as soon as possible.
Once you finish your task, it becomes easier and you can
move on to other tasks. You
can start by reviewing emails and notes, since the two are
essential ingredients that make time management work. Read

Many people today are suffering stress because of the fast
