Weekday Essentials 2 – Sequential Tasks

Weekday Essentials 2 – Sequential Tasks

Quote of the day

‘Sequential tasks are more effective than random tasks. They are the chemistry to create accomplishment and fulfilment at the end of your illustrious day. They consist of time segments in your day to direct you to amalgamate your energies in a specific way, to demonstrate your true abilities to get the job done, to estimate when the job gets done and to navigate your journey along your exciting day.’

Welcome to the 2^nd midweek of May 2016. Thank you sincerely for all your kind appreciation of my daily inspirational content. If it helps you to attain a better day pass it on to other people that needs inspiration too. It will be a blessing for you. The second instalment in this series is called ‘Sequential Tasks’. Sequential Tasks starts with pen and paper rather than mind over matter. Committing to paper makes you aware of your daily responsibilities. It is important to commit to paper with sincerity. Sincerity in your day is linked to keywords yet again. To help remind you of these keywords I want you to use the acronym I CAN DO IT. I CAN DO IT stands for Illustrate, Calculate, Amalgamate, Navigate, Dedicate, Operate, Investigate and Tabulate. Writing down your daily tasks illustrates your commitment to succeed. Calculating your time allocation for each task ensures that you are on the right path. Amalgamating tasks in a specific way ensures that you are coherent, consistent and passionate about what you are doing. Navigating your way through your somewhat hectic day ensures that you are in control of your day. Dedication is about passion and desire. Without dedication you are just a wanderer in a world of confusion. Operation Zone is a must for all meritocratic goal setters. You need to operate in a systematic way fuelled with the right nutrients and energised with the right exercise routine. Investigation is your back up plan. When something goes wrong you need to ask why then remedy with immediate effect. Seek help if needed. Tabulation displays your academic skills to perform in an orderly fashion. What you input into your cluster of tables determines the output to your overall success. Sequential Tasks must be done daily. Every second of your life is accountable therefore careful management of your life, time and money will help you. Tomorrow we shall continue with the next instalment, can you guess what it might be? Have a great evening. Always remember to chant the mantra ‘I CAN DO IT’. ‘I CAN DO IT’. ‘I CAN DO IT’.

STAPLES - Daily Tasks that make a difference

Daily Tasks that make a difference

Quote of the day

‘To succeed in life you need to set a series of daily tasks called STAPLES. If there is Synchronisation, Tabulation, Attraction, Passion, Location, Explanations and Satisfaction in these tasks you will always find accomplishment and fulfilment at the end of each week.’

Welcome to the first day of a new working week. What better way to start your day knowing that you are governed by a series of tasks? If your tasks are STAPLED together with Synchronisation, Tabulation, Attraction, Passion, Location, Explanations and Satisfaction then you are a winner. Winners in life are fully committed to their roles in life. They seek to accomplish and they seek to fulfil. They believe in synchronisation because time is valuable and they are fully aware of it. They work diligently to get the job done. They create harmony at home and at work. They are essentially managers of their own time. To them each second in a day is vital. Winners are thorough in their presentations and in their pitch. They assess data and address distress at home and in the work front. They express their opinions unselfishly and progress to the next task when the job is satisfactorily done. Winners find attraction. Attraction is appeal. They draw the crowds to them rather than repel the crowds away from them. People are important to winners. People are important to winners because they believe that everyone is a winner. They value other people’s opinions and respect each member of their team. They believe in teamwork and they know that teamwork makes dreams work. Winners have passion in their blood. You can tell a winner from a loser. A winner makes passion flow like blood. They are always thirsty for new ideas, new friends, new targets, new competition and new ventures. They love to live and they live to love. They cannot understand what an enemy is for they only know what friends are. Location, Location, Location. Winners are location orientated. They are conscious of their locality and they are conscious of their settings. They live to impress. They live to express. They live to address. They live to progress. They live to caress. Winners always give explanations for changes. They like to clarify what is not clear and to enlighten others on what is clear. Winners are always very descriptive of their actions and detail their entire day with clarity and vivacity. Winners write their tasks in clear and easy to read text. If they can understand it, then only do they pass it on. Winners end their day with a word that always rings a bell of accomplishment and fulfilment. That word is Satisfaction.  Winners believe in being completely satisfied with their overall performance. This is good because they set standards for others to follow. Dear Friends today we have latched onto a new power word and that is STAPLES. Hang onto these words and use them to help you. I wish you a wonderful working week. Let it be governed by your actions and let those actions bring satisfaction to your heart.

Professional Multitasking or PM

Professional Multitasking or PM

Quote of the day

‘Professional Multitasking or PM should always be everlasting. PM is about affixing a specific time to each task and arranging them in a chronological order to be done sequentially. To ensure professionalism we cannot bask in a single task all day. We cannot mask a task either for this will then lead to procrastination and eventual misrepresentation or simply unprofessionalism.’

Welcome to your very own private day called Sunday. Many will say it is the first day of a new week. I often say it is the first day of my new life where I gather all my tasks for the week and arrange them in a chronological order. I am my very own boss during the weekends and as I relax and rest my physical machinery my mental cerebrum and cerebellum is constantly working. Yesterday was typical of that for as I sat I watched, as I watched I captured and as I captured I started to create and as I created I began to see what tomorrow shall be like. From simple footages and memories of last week I formed a collage of manageable tasks to perform starting from tomorrow. Today I need to arrange them sequentially, chronologically and then list them potentially. When I say potentially what I am implying is that I am only looking at possibilities rather than actualities. By the end of today I need to switch potential tasks into essential tasks. Before the dawn of a new working week I shall have by my side, signed, sealed and approved my working tasks or my memorandum for the week ending on the 27th of November 2015. My mission then is to accomplish these tasks in a professional way without hurting anyone in the process. If I am able to do this then I am able to do anything unselfishly. I am then able to say that I can professionally multitask. In other words I am then a certified PM. Multitasking to a computer is somewhat different as opposed to multitasking in our daily lives. Multitasking in Computers is about the concurrent performance of several jobs at the same time. Human beings do this all the time. Our brain stem is largely responsible for this. We do but may not be aware of it. We digest food while we can talk. We can talk but think about something else. We can think about something else but look at something different. By looking at something different we can also excrete, secrete, be sweet, have a treat and remain discrete at the same time. This is what I call auto-multitasking. PM performances on the other hand comes from focussing on the task at hand, giving it you’re very best and concluding it within the time frame you set out for today. What I am talking about today which is crucial to your overall success is PM or Professional Multitasking. In others do what you have to but do it now and do it professionally. Many people try to multitask as depicted in the above video, this is foolish. You cannot walk and talk without getting into trouble. Bumping into people and speaking above your voice in waiting rooms is totally unprofessional. You cannot drive and smoke or drive and speak on the phone. This is illegal and very unprofessional. PMs always look for Professionalism at ALL times. They do something and they do it well. They focus and they take notice. They focus on what they have to do and take notice of what they have done. They look at time constraints like an athlete that needs to run the 100m in a specified time. Do they stop and talk or rather walk? No, they focus and focus their energies in what needs to be done at that specified time. This is PM and this is how you become a certified PM. Training for the 100m is done at a different time. Eating the right foods is also administered at scheduled times. Athletes don’t eat and run at the same time. Start tomorrow by working towards being a PM for life.

Your Daily Agenda

Your Daily Agenda

Quote of the day

‘To achieve Success in life you need to achieve an accomplished and fulfilling day. To do this you need to administer your time methodically and plan ahead logically using a Daily Agenda.

Dear Friends, I only realised the sheer importance of keeping a diary when I was given a second chance in life 21 years ago. I always carried a diary with me at all times in the past but my entries were not as professional as they should have been and they lacked the abilities that an entrepreneur to success would have in maintaining, updating and accomplishing the tasks listed in their diary. So, I thought about it in a logical manner and wondered what I did wrong that made me unprofessional and a procrastinator of valuable time. Diaries did exist in various formats but they did not contain the right pages for me to enter my scheduled tasks and in order for me to become professional I needed to create my own diary which I later did, called Destinations. Unlike other Diaries Destinations would become a revolutionary tool for me, allowing me to schedule my day according to my abilities and run a life that is freer, happier and of cause professional. To understand the concept of being professional we first need to define it. As human beings we are servants and sole custodians of the living world. This is a fact because you cannot prove otherwise. As servants of the living world and sole custodians in particular of our domains we need to exercise our roles in a professional manner. Professionalism is about undertaking a task or a series of tasks with the ability to execute them effectively and efficiently, nothing more or nothing less. To develop this skill takes time and time ensures that you gain the necessary experience to do just that. The buck does not stop there because technology is constantly changing and therefore we need to change with it. It does not hurt to learn, it does not hurt to learn when you are older either. Every day is a learning curve. Sometimes things do not work out as planned, professionalism takes cognisance of that and makes relevant adjustments. To make your day work you need to use a Diary, I recommend Destinations, details of which may be found in The Databank Times. A daily agenda is your blueprint to your life on Earth, written in your own handwriting and planned in advance with your ideas. A successful agenda is one that has all tasks for the day accomplished in a professional manner and done as per the allocated time. Management of your Time is the Key to your overall Success. Time per day must be equated in seconds rather than minutes or hours. The life of a meritocratic Goal Setter is defined as follows: All Entrepreneurs of Real Success utilises their allocated 86,400 seconds per day profitably and wisely.  They plan in advance in a logical way, dividing their daily tasks into allocated time slots. Their then spend their day working methodically to execute all their tasks with passion and desire in a professional and unselfish way. Professionalism comes from experience. It is the skill or knowhow of doing something effectively. Entering a task in your daily agenda or memorandum depends on your ability to execute it. Many of us fail at this point because we enter tasks into our memorandum but lack the professionalism to accomplish it. Accomplishment and Fulfilment are key strategies in making your day work and making your life a success. To become professional in anything that you do has a starting point and an ending bonanza. The starting point is your entry into your memorandum. An example would be a meeting at say 10:00am. Attending the meeting on time is one thing but to be prepared and partake in the rudiments of the meeting is another? Do you have the professionalism to do so? Did you plan ahead? Did you do sufficient research to put forward proposals?  As you can see to think logically enables you to plan systematically for anything whether it is a picnic or a meeting. To enter a list of tasks to accomplish for the day in your memorandum is based on your methodology summoned by your professionalism. If you are not as yet professional in that chosen field you then need to learn to become professional. This is the starting point I am referring to. The ending point is your reward whereupon you execute all your tasks professionally and with relative ease.

A Strategy that makes sense

A Strategy that makes sense

Quote of the Day

‘Life does not have to be complex, an agenda that is perplexed often leads to confusion. An agenda that is complexed often leads to procrastination. An agenda that is simplex often leads to accomplishment and fulfilment.’

Bonus Quote

Your agenda should instruct you rather than obstruct you. I always say instruct to construct rather than construct to obstruct.

Thank you for sharing your time with me today on this spectacular weekend of fun, merriment and rejoice. You earned it now go out there and enjoy it. Breathe in the freshness of a new weekend. Exhale the tiresome hours of the previous working week. Gather your thoughts and head straight for the door that opens into a kingdom of magic, splendour and grandeur. Today is Saturday, the start of your frivolous weekend. Yes, it is a weekend to be merry and playful. You worked hard and resilient over the past 5 days so why not pamper yourself with the finest that life can offer. What are your plans for the weekend? We stopped over at the port of relaxation enabling you to venture into a world of your very own. However all good things do come to an end. Weekends come and they go. So sitting at the back of your mind should be an aperture of what Monday and the days ahead of it will hold for you. You cannot ignore it so I say onto you think simple. Be simple and take on a workload that is simple. Does the Captain of your vessel take you on a complex journey over rapids, storms, breakers, strong winds or heavy fog? You need to keep it simple. Everything you do has to be simple. You need to eat simple, you need to exercise with simplicity, you need to commute with simplicity and you need to work with simplicity. Why? Because complexity makes you err, complexity makes you confused, complexity makes you procrastinate and complexity makes you difficult to understand. What is the purpose of your daily agenda? It is very easy to write one but is it easy to accomplish? If your agenda is confusing, non-coordinating and selfish there is a good chance that your day will be muddled and confused. There is also a good chance that you will be late, unpunctual and hesitant. You will not be coherent and you will be thinking of something else whilst working on a given task. You need to keep it simple. You need to break your day into tiny workable and doable modules with time allocations and understandable instructions. Your agenda should instruct you rather than obstruct you. I always say instruct to construct rather than construct to obstruct. Use your weekend as a mock exercise. I asked you earlier on what your plans are for the weekend. Is it going to be complex or simplex? Do you scurry along or do you take it in your strides. A weekend can also become exhausting if you do not plan and keep it simple. Decide on what you want to do and make it doable. Get help, participate, combine your efforts and make your weekend the start too many weekends to come that will fill your heart with joy, happiness and relaxation. Are you going out for the day or will you be at home? Either decision can make your weekends fall apart if you do not keep it simple. Life does not have to be complex, an agenda that is perplexed often leads to confusion. An agenda that is complexed often leads to procrastination. An agenda that is simplex often leads to accomplishment and fulfilment. I say onto you and verily too, be simple.

Assimilation

Assimilation

Quote of the day

‘A Successful Student Is Mainly Interested to Learn About Tasks, Instruction, Organising and Negotiating. To do this effectively their use a process called ASSMILATION.

Bonus Quote

‘The TONI formula teaches us about our daily Tasks, about Organising them, Negotiating them and executing them with Instructions that work.’

Dear friends, today you are about to read an article that will change the way you think, the way you perform and the way you live. This article is about a 12 letter word which most of you heard of when you studied Biology at an elementary level in School. The word we are going to talk about is Assimilation. Assimilation in Biology is about absorption of digested food from your intestines into your bloodstream to be transported to all cells of your body so that they may function as cells and replicate when required. This is a process that works and it is a process that stood the test of time. Today I want you to understand how we can use this system to make our lives better, successful and enjoyable. It is all about knowledge and how we use it. Knowledge is vast and diversified. Knowledge as we spoke of yesterday is an infinite source of information waiting to be extracted for our daily use. If used wisely knowledge can overcome ignorance. If used unwisely however knowledge becomes ignorance. Knowledge is a database with an access facility available to all humans. It was set up by our Heavenly Father and includes a support team of Angels that hover over us giving us strength to meet our daily agenda and giving us vigour to overcome our daily adversaries. There is no monthly subscription to access such a vast network of data but rather a monthly commitment to serve our Heavenly Father. I called this Database ‘The Extranet’. It is Extraction of knowledge is based on your Needs. I found knowledge when I needed it most. Today this knowledge has changed my life, my health and my wealth as per my bespoke needs. Today I want to tell you that you too have access to this knowledge. It is free and it is for your bespoke needs. However knowledge is useless without knowing how to use it, even though it still remains informative. To use knowledge we need to apply the TONI formula. TONI stands for TASKs, ORGANISNG skills, NEGOTIATING tactics and following INSTRUCTIONS. I shall include future articles to include an in-depth study of this formula in the days to come. Understanding your TASKS for the day, the week, the month or the year is your responsibility. You are the writer of your intent, and the executor of your tasks with full content. You cannot write down a series of tasks to execute if you are not content with it. You simply cannot because you are actually creating the reversal of success which is failure. The next skill required is to ORGANISE these tasks into a series of workable modules to be executed during the course of your day. NEGOTIATING is about these written down tasks and about dealing with them in order of importance. Finally you need to follow a set of INSTRUCTIONS that has previously worked. This is the TONI formula that we shall expand on during the course of June. Remember to think like a Tycoon in June. Take note that I have used the word Assimilation as an acronym to create today’s memorable Quote.
