Every Single Minute

OVER THE LAST decade, the concept of “timeboxing” has become widely used in corporate America to increase productivity. It offers great benefits for personal time management as well. Timeboxing is a time management technique that limits the amount of time you spend on a task. Instead of working until completion, you work on something for a specific amount of time—say, thirty minutes—before moving on to something else. The primary benefit of setting time limits to your tasks is that it boosts focus and productivity. According to Parkinson’s law, the more time we are given to complete tasks, the more time it takes us to do them. When we are given a limit, however, we find ways to streamline processes and prioritize so we can finish the task on time. We are forced to focus and ignore distractions, making us much more productive. Further, productivity increases because we are forced to ignore time-wasting activities, such as checking email, surfing the Internet, or chatting on social medi...

The following list contains the 16 Habits of Mind. The habits begin with the individual and move out to the entire community. Keep in mind, how- ever, that the list is not complete. As our conversations continue—and as you work with the habits—we are likely to identify other habits that should be added to this list.   Although they are elaborated in Chapter 2, the 16 Habits of Mind we have identified can be described briefly as follows:   1. Persisting. Stick to it. See a task through to completion, and remain focused.   2. Managing impulsivity. Take your time. Think before you act. Remain calm, thoughtful, and deliberate.   3. Listening with understanding and empathy. Seek to understand others. Devote mental energy to another person’s thoughts and ideas. Hold your own thoughts in abeyance so you can better perceive another person’s point of view and emotions. 4. Thinking flexibly. Look at a situation another way. Find a way to change perspectives, generate ...

Mirel Zaman   A few years ago, in the interest of learning to do a little more with my money, I asked my dad how he learned to budget . I wasn’t surprised when he quickly brought up emergency savings funds .  My dad and I have similar money philosophies (risk-averse savers) and, as such, I felt pretty confident about my emergency savings account. I’d always heard that it was best to have six months of living expenses saved in a liquid cash fund and I’ve done my best to stick to that advice since I’ve been self-supporting. In practice, my emergency fund probably covers three to six months of my living expenses at any time. I’ve had to dip into it but when I do, I prioritise building it back up again.     https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/2021/10/10727596/how-much-money-do-i-need-to-quit-my-job?utm_source=pocket-newtab-intl-en

By Kimberly Brown   Hi Kimberly, A few months before the pandemic started, I was fired from a job I had been very successful in for several years. The reason was not performance related — my work was highly regarded throughout the company — it was political. I definitely made mistakes, but thought I had recovered, so it came as a shock. I did a good job rebounding. I got a career coach and tried independent consulting, including a six-month contract job with a top company. Several of my clients wanted me to join their companies full time. During the Great Resignation , my then-boyfriend and I both took breaks from full-time work. I worked on a novel, we got married, and I focused on things other than my career. When I decided to go back to work, I landed a good job at a reputable company in my field relatively quickly. So it’s been a bit of a shock to find I’m having serious issues with fear and insecurity ...
