Creating a Work Life Balance




a lot of free-lances were blamed for a way to focus a lot on paper, not so good on the balance part of the equation.


I know, I have been guilty of I in the past. I came to the point where I:




    forget to eat
    sleep whenever it fit into my schedule
    feel guilty whenever I was not working
    feel that there is an obstacle for me handling things badly.


Like everything in life, often you can handle it for a short time, but working on such a high intensity only leads to combustion, and then just below.


So when I started this challenge last week I looked at myself and think thoroughly about what is important to me in life, when I am doing well, so I work hard, but still create a balance that is sustainable. This is what I understood:




    When I focus, I could do more work in one hour then my colleagues seem to do in one day
    If the above is truethenworking hard for the 2 hour intervals , 3 hours a day will bring great benefits
    do well in the early morning, noon and evening (I'm ultra unproductive in the afternoon)
    Well, I'll work 2 hours in the morning when I wake up, have a break to do something else, work for 2 hours, take the whole afternoon off (or very light job that is not brain taxing) and finish with a good 2 hours in evening.


So what do I do with the rest of my time? So there are three areas that I neglected a lot of freelancers:




    's health / fitness
    your eating habits
    and ... sleep!


As mentioned earlier I was to blame for this in the past, so I have to get it right this time. So, here's what I say




    I'll work at least 1 hour every day (this can be really exercise or play sports for 1 hour) - This may be divided between my other 2 hour work session (mid-morning), or any time during the afternoon / evening .
    I'll plan to cook at least 3 meals a day and my snacks will be healthy too. (Since I'm on a budget, cooking is also a great way to save money)

HEALTHY BODY MAKES sanity - and healthier my mind, the faster I'll reach my goal ...


Fitness has always been a big interest of mine (I am a qualified personal trainer wth more than two years of practical experience), so it is important that I stick with a fitness routine, or I'll start to notice yourself feeling strange and unusual. If you stop doing things that are basic to you, then you become one ... and at this point, I must just be better!


I managed to borrow 90 days fitness program from my flatmate called P90X. WOW, this thing is exceptional! I'm on day 5 now, and although I am not getting through each day routines (because it is so tough), it is giving my mind a rest from work, thus allowing me to think much more clearly when I get back to him. It does not matter that I'm not fit enough to complete the exercise, however, the good part is that I started and I'm trying. I know in my mind that in 90 days I will be in the form of most of my life. (success in business is an extension of your attitude everywhere else in life ... I will succeed with this exercise series as I can succeed with this challenge)


and the additional benefits of a good work out every day .... I've slept like a baby!

What's the best way to carve a chicken?

Some of your recipes call for roasters. I don't live in an area where Perdue chicken is sold, and I haven't been able to find roasters in the stores. What exactly is a roaster, and can I substitute a broiler? A Perdue Oven Stuffer Roaster is a 12 week old bird especially developed for a broad breast. Roasters are bigger than broilers, and have a more favorable meat to bone ratio than broilers. Because they are older birds, they also have a much deeper, richer flavor. You can use broilers in roaster recipes, but plan on the chicken's being done sooner and having a noticeably milder flavor. Frank, by the way, is the man responsible for creating the roaster market. Back in the early 1970s, when few people had ever heard of a roaster, he was the one who worked to breed these broad-breasted birds, and who put the effort into advertising so people would learn about the new product. He surprised his colleagues by how determined he was in his developing and marketing efforts. One o

Why are some chickens yellow skinned and some white?

Gambar
A chicken's skin color comes from the diet it was fed and the same bird could have a white skin or a yellow skin, depending on what it ate. The diet that produces a yellow skin is more expensive than the usual diet, but the people at Perdue Farms feel it's worth it because a yellow skin color is one of the fastest ways Frank's inspectors have of finding and disqualifying an inferior bird. If a bird is sick or off its feed, it doesn't absorb nutrients well and won't develop the rich golden color that is characteristic of Perdue birds. Also, if part of a bird's outer skin is "barked", that is, rubbed off due to rough handling during processing, the Perdue inspectors can detect it more easily than with a white-skinned bird. Detecting and removing and chicken with a barked skin is important because damaged skin shortens the shelf life and dries out and toughens the meat. No white colored chickens get by the inspectors. Sometimes when I open a package of ch
