Paying to have time off work

Image
Paying to have time off work, you know that work is wrong when it cost money not to do , free time cost me £258 for 5 additional days off work. To get away you have to pay , don't think that working 40 hours a week is enough. You want to see something other than a computer, I want to see your money. You want freedom you have to pay of it.  One day I will be financially secure to not have to work all the time, work any place any time and live off my own results. I want my freedom, I want my own time table I want to see. Even if it cost's me money, I will pay money to have more free time. Just a bitch for the boss's dollar at the moment , every day working on a way to break out of the rat race.

How to Get up Early Videos

How am i going to get up earlier each day, learn to get up at 6am or earlier Latest goal to work on is how to get up early, there will be plenty of time too sleep when im dead. The goal getting up early and sleeping less , too much time. Just like the cold showers, they will probly feel bad for the first few weeks but then once i get them in to the system , it will start to feel bad by not getting up early. The cold showers hurt at first , but now it seems that as im on a role it would be a shame to quit now. Getting up early, how early should i get up? . The reason i stay asleep for so long is due to day dreaming, i almost find it hard to face life when im half asleep. By getting up and out , then i hope this will improve my focus. Of all the hours ive spent daydreaming and thinking in my daze, i honestly dont remeber what ive been thinking about or if that this has even been of benifit to myself. Its going to be a struggle to get up early, perhaps just go straight for 5am so i can t...

If snooze is a problem , Start work later

Since ive always had a problem with the snooze button, pressing it every moment , to gain that extra little bit. Ive realised that maybe insted of cutting of my sleep , i should just start my work later in the day. To allow myself the time i need to get up and sorted properly. before i started work at 8 and was haing problems strolling in to work tired. Now i start my day at 12 and no longer have the problem. I can get up shower exercise and eat a healthy salad and breakfast , check the net and do my household jobs all before i even start my days work. I also don't need to worry about going to bed on time its just so much simpler. At work we have less customers in the evening so i don't need to work as hard. Usually when i get home at 4pm i am tired and sleepy after a full day of work now, now when i get home at 8pm and im tired and sleepy thats ok because its soon time to goto sleep any way. I don't need to force myself to wake up to do my household jobs then go to sleep ,...

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w06c-Qqjlis[/youtube]   As i watched YouTube today i saw a very positive video, it was a raw food video. With matt monark and steve pavlina , you can watch below its a 2 partner. But what i found today is that in order to be a success you need to surround yourself with the people that will help you be a success, get on their energy wave length. Just as my housemates don’t go out so much i have found that i don’t go out as much as i used too. Same as the people who i have in my life seem to be problematic with relationships, i have pulled people in to my life who are having problems with there relationships and i have been in sync with them myself , how can i have a positive understanding of relationships when all i keep seeing is problems and talks of negativity.   I need to start being around the people who are going to bring me up and take me forward instead of staying in the same level of people that are just causing me to have all these diffi...

Taking a leap of faith

Image
Leap of Faith in to the Unkown Web Changing Servers and domains changes everything. This leap of faith applies to the change of BeWiseMonkey.Com changing its server on the web, the site was getting good quality hits everyday , up to 1000 hits a day and has all the promise of growing to be a nice popular site, for all those people who like watching funny monkeys, checking some nice girl pictures and reading some random articles. Unfortunatly the site was on Wordpress.com which has a very little tolerance for advertising. Affiliate links and adverts are not allowed on Wordpress and so i was risking the site by having it on there. Not that i could have just taken ads off the site, but i want to be able to advertise on my site and i dont want all my articles to be deleted. So the choice was to take a leap of faith and move away from Wordpress.com and hoste privatly but still using Wordpress.org to manage site contents. Having used the wordpress content and system i am happy with it and it ...

Easy Mistakes Cost Hard Choices

Image
  I learnt from business the principal of RIGHT FIRST TIME , this statement is very profound as simple mistakes that would be easy to do right first time, then turn in to huge wastes of time when done wrong. Not only do they waste time but the time they waste is stress filled hard work , depressing and usally causes stress and negativity and cost of money and resources. What also is lost and i think this is the worst thing. The loss of the unknown, ie had it been done RIGHT FIRST TIME , we would probly be allot happier be working on another goal, we would be more motivated and a stronger more confident person. The experiances and path that would have been walked down due to getting the situation right could have been a whole lot better. Simple mistakes cost so much and hold you down, i used to procrastinate allot at university. and so much time was spent thinking and planning to do the work , i stayed in some nights playing catchup to the work i should have done months ago. If i had do...

Double Check To Do List

Image
  Missed an important interview this morning because i was sure in my mind that it was at 2.45 in the afternoon even though its written in my diary in big black pen 9.40 am . I had already planned my entire day around 2.45pm and was busy with some chores before setting off, when a glance at the pad gave me the realisation that the meeting was already 2 hours ago. Had i double checked the night before then i would have been aware of this and planed my day around the 9.40am meeting. Now another time waster  is the reschedule of the appointment. The searching for the number to contact the person. The possibility of loss of earnings and reputation. The whole stress and annoyance that i would let a meeting be confused and not plan well in advance. Now i got my day on catch up and damage limitation due to a blunder that would have been easily avoided had i done a quick double check. Fail to Prepare  = Prepare to Fail !   BeWiseMonkey

Music Or White Noise Helps With Study

Image
Just a Google search of Music and Concentration comes up with many good ideas, I personaly know that i can work for longer while ive got some music playing, and dont go cheap on your music if your playing from your pc make sure you got your sound card and speakers set up properly, you wanna have clarity of the notes and be able to clearly hear all the notes and melodies and intricate patterns in music. If your listing to Pianos you wanna ajust until when the keys play the hairs go up on your arms. My speaker set up i got bass controll and volume to i can pick out some parts with a little extra bass. Have your music files well organised and get an idea where each song is so you can string together. Another benifit i also find is i am able to exersise for longer times and do a better quality when there is musice on . I enjoy Royksop Melody AM while im practising Yoga chillin and doing stretches.

Revision Ideas for study and memory

Image
Currently looking for a new job, and so i think now is a good time to revise what i have learnt from university and from my work experiances. So to revise, just. Go over all the stuff you have learnt, Over learn , learn it over and over and over until you get sick then learn it some more. Go through notes and books and audio files go on youtube and watch videos, write lists and lists of key words and associated words. Draw pictures and write stories about the subject wanting to learn. Just revise it all .

Destination Unknown

Shizer, this week it officially began, The dissertation . So far I'm at the bottom of the mountain with no rope. Thus i am seeing a big steep arduous climb ahead of me. From looking over some sites today Ive seen that my topic is relevant, but I'm just in the phase of plotting the course of action, the monkey don't want to climb the mountain if there is a cable car he can ride in... So i got my topic, from reading some forums, there are allot of angry graduates out there. Grads that are pissed off, due to no employment with their degrees. In the process of writing this, i hope to become fully aware of the state of graduate employment and develop the skills. so that i don't go blindly in to the recruitment phase and am more prepared with skills and ability's than most. The employers are looking for communication skills, Grads are finishing their degrees with lots of theory but no experience of putting it in to practice. This is making them unemployable and unhappy. I...
