SWOT analysis!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

From the title itself, all of you can guess what I'm gonna write about, right?!

This topic is actually is about the talk that I had with a motivator before...

What he said to me was that to improve, we need to know about ourselves. Listing our traits is a simple way to do it. Use the SWOT method.

SWOT stand for :-
S = Strength
W = Weakness
O = Opportunity
T = Threats

Strength and weakness is the internal factors or what we can list about our traits.

The external factors, opportunity and threats are influences that affect us from our surroundings like, family, friends, community, and environments.

I tried this...but it seem that I really need to improve on a lots of things, huhuhu.

Sorry for the short entry but I'll try make it longer next time...

Till then, feel free to comment. Bye....

HECTIC TIME!!!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

OKAY...it has been quite long that I didn't open this blog...so much backlogs(urgh!). Have been very busy these couple of weeks. With the past few tests and few that are to come soon, I been fairly occupied as a student. Social life? I haven't quite have time to enjoy free time right now...

I have several topic as drafts, so I think it is a high time that I start to post them. (My time management sucks, I know[sorry])

However, for this entry, I think like to discuss several factors that might have caused me to have headache with my time management right now...

NUMBER 1 IS(drum rolls)...NO VISIBLE TIME PLANS.
Everyone can say that they plan their time. I also planned my time. BUT the question is HOW MUCH effort that we actually put to plan our time? Anybody can say they plan their time but ask them how they plan it. Maybe most will answer like this "plan aku ada la dalam kepala otak aku ni!"...Well, I did kept much of my plan in my mind. But guest what? I will only achieved 30% (at most, huhuhu) of the original plan in a day with that method. I even forgot my appointment with someone on the evening before.(manusia mudah lupa,huhuhu)
A few weeks back, Puan Azfahanee give us task to post our to-do list. Through that list, I found out that I actually managed to achieved 70% of all things that I have listed. I managed to do a lot more that way. We can clearly see the difference between the two figures.

So, my suggestions are:
1. List out all what we need to do on large sheet of paper
2. Set how much  timeline for each task e.g. study FIN533 for 2 hours from 9 p.m.- 11 p.m.
3. Set task priority (VERY IMPORTANT!). This is so that we know what we need to achieved first.
4. Scratch out what we had done.
5. Leave a comment area the spread sheet. To keep note any changes that we had to make. Or maybe to congratulate yourself on a job well done.
(I am currently in the transition process, so this still need many trials and errors)

NUMBER 2 IS SLEEP!
Yes, I am serious! Sleep is important but it can be problematic if you oversleep or sleep too little. Maybe I had both problems,huhuhu. Okay, back to our topic. Oversleep can caused several problems like:
1. You can miss your class.(This is a very bad issues)
2. You lost valuable time which you can use to achieve your plan (happen to me)
3. ....( you can list out what happen to you when you overslept)
 However, lack of sleep also can bring other problem like:
1. Sleepiness (and you start to yawn in class, which is very rude to your lecturer)(on personal note, I WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO PN AZFAHANEE FOR YAWNING IN HER CLASS ON 17th APRIL...I AM VERY SORRY MADAM)
2. YOU WILL BE BLUR on what you should do that day. This is not productive, people.



NUMBER 3 IS PROCRASTINATION
I think this already explain much it means. So, STOP wasting time. STOP thinking "nanti nanti la buat", "ada masa lagi".




That all for now, I need to go to bed. Feel free to comment.

Good night and Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Time management!! my To-Do Lists

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Firstly, I would like to apologize to Pn Azfahanee for the delay in posting my entry due to problem with my internet connection at home.

Time Management. From the words, we know it relate to time, how time is managed.
In my opinion, everyone manage their time. However, the question is how they manage it. Some may unconsciously plan what they want to do in a day in their mind, some will write it down and think what they want to do, and some(or most of the people) just follow the flow.
I do write my plans(occasionally,huhu) if I consider it to be important.
