Manage Your Time In 4 Steps

Fri, 13 Feb 2009 22:30:00 -0500

Very often I hear that people are busy and have no free time. Nowadays it's everywhere, we're dependant on our work, relatives, tasks and technologies. We forget about ourselves. To my mind it's very difficult to follow your interests in a real life, unless you have a work that you really like ;) In other cases, our everyday routine work devours all our interests and desires.

Yesterday I've found some pieces of advice that can help us to save our time. The author of the article notes that we don't have free time because we don't have a strategy for it. And this is true, because when I try to plan my time I really get some free minutes left.

Here's the strategy he offers:

1. Stop being a slave to technology.

Means that we should have the courage to switch off our cell phones, messengers, mailings, etc. We have become slaves of different technological gadgets as the author mentions. It's not necessary to be on hold all the time. Have a break.

2. Stop working when it is time to stop.

Work will never cease no matter how much time and energy you put into it. If you're tired there will be no result no matter how long you'll be working over yout projects. If you have a creative profession, this rule should be the main one for you. The reason is that we always need new impressions and knowledge to produce good work. To get them we need some free time to do what we want.

3. Delegate, delegate, delegate.

Outsource those tasks that you don't like executing. Delegate those chores that you're not proficient in to somebody else. Free up that extra time. Use it to focus on what you do well and most importantly, enjoy doing. Even if you're a chief manager, there's no need to do everything yourself. Just divide the work between other people and control the process. It'll save much time.

4. Make free time a goal. Plan for it.

All the above tips will be crippled if you don't plan for your free time. It will fail if having free time doesn't become a goal of yours. You have to plan for your free time. Make it a goal to boost your free time. It's so darn easy to plan for free time. Just write it down! List down your daily responsibilities. Make time for free time. Take action. Here's a template for planning a free time. May be you'll be able to customize it for your own use:

Cankle Saved By A Sunset

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 17:02:00 -0500

The other day I stepped on a crack, and NO I did not break my mothers back, but... I did

sprain my ankle!

Everyone that has experienced the agony of a sprain, the trouble of hobbling on crutches and the pain of icing three times a day will be glad to hear that

Sunset - Stress Balm Works!

I applied the balm to my purple, green and swollen areas and not only did it alleviate the tension, the aromatherapy was so nice and uplifting that I forgot about my "Cankle"

[ that's when your ankle is the same dimensions of your calf! ]

Ingredients include 8 essential oils including Ginger oil which is excellent for:

Reducing Inflammation
Sprains and Injuries
Headaches
Rheumatism
Arthritis
Numbness
Muscle
Fatigue
Inflammation
Varicose veins

I keep a bottle handy for those times when I need to be Re-Vibed!

Denmark Digs Us!

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 00:28:00 -0500

I was tickled pink when Sasha, from Denmark, came into The TreeHouse, she read about TH Roots products on-line and really wanted to try them them out. Coincidentally she was coming to Venice Beach, CA and was able to see, smell and experience the products first hand.

Sasha loved the Sunset Stress Balm's aroma of nine essential oils and smiled widely when I told her that our containers were made of 100% recycled materials. Even the ink is made of soy and the labels out of recycled paper!

It's quite the compliment to receive a "thumbs-up" by a guest from such an environmentally progressive country.

Thank you for you business Sasha!

Smile Everyone!

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:38:00 -0500

Smiling has a big impact on your brain.

Sometimes feeling great is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of you feeling great!

Studies on the brain show that smiling causes people to feel happy. These studies show that smiling causes physiological changes in the brain that cools your blood. This results in you feeling positive. Frowning warms your blood, which causes you to feel negative.

One study found that these changes can even happen by saying the letter "e" and "o" over and over again. Saying the letter "e" forces a slight smile and saying the letter "o" forces a slight frown.

Another study found that people who put a pencil between their teeth feel better than those who put a pencil between their lips. The former forces a slight smile, the later a slight frown.....and the brain follows.

Studies also show that smiling releases t-cells into your body which help keep you from getting sick! yaaaaay!!!
