200 % Efficiency

February18

I have failed , failed miserably with my aim of getting into a routine. I just tend to get distracted and keep the stuff i should be doing aside.  I would be in a whole different place , just if I used my time rite ( Burj Al Arab perhaps ? ) .

I have a network of promising sites. I have a network of promising plans and ideas. A promising career. Its all going wrong in execution. Execution efficiency is very low. I am just being able to do a part of what i actually set to do.

Enough cribbing about the problem. What am I gonna do about it ?

Obviously , things can’t continue this way and something has to be done. Flaws have to be fixed and the system needs to run on 200% efficiency ( pretty ambitious uh ? ). At the same time realizing I am just one person and cant be every where and not to overwork my self.

First of all , I am gonna try to wake up early. I have noticed , I wake up late and grumpy and then I don’t do shit. I usually get more ground covered early morning.

Second, No msn or facebook during work. If its something important they wanna talk about , they can wait.

Third,  A priority to-do list. Which not only states the priority of each task but also allots time for each. This will allow me to get the main one done first and keep the ‘Not so Important’ ones for later. Any task not completed will be carry forwarded to the next day with the highest priority.

Fourth, Break down all my projects into series of action , So i can compare , plan and compile my daily lists of task. So i know i am reaping the maximum out of my time.

That was   for me . My sites need a kick in the ass too. They need to pump two times its usual revenue because the new site I am buying is gonna set me back a fortune and the coming months are gonna be really challenging. Lately i have been showing some gratitude and taking it easy on monetizing my site.  Not any more.  I’ll be going in hard this time.

I’ll be trying out of the box monetization techniques , traffic techniques and literally anything I could make money with .  It needs to pump in more money then ever.

I’ll keep you updated on how it goes.

New semester ? New start ?

February8

I am not a real hard worker.  I do get stuff done in time , most of the times. But , i don’t crave for greatness but more into meeting the bottom line.  I often tend to mess up on small little tiny details which have cost me a great deal in the past.

Things have to change , i need to step out of my comfort zone and give that extra 10 % which entitles me for greatness.  Apparently , its become very evident that I can get more things done in a routine. Doing little little every day not only gets things done but also saves you from the last minute pressure.

The idea is to get into routine and I have never been into something very organized . I am not much of a system person. But, still you gotta do what you gotta do .

I’ve gotta teach my self PHP and basics of stock analysis and carve my self a portfolio where i’ll be investing my funds. I need to start taking care of my self . I usually have a very shabby and careless approach to myself.  I know it sounds wrong,  but i do need to fall in love with my self.

I have a huge portfolio of sites to look after . The money is getting bigger and the business is getting serious. It started off as pocket money and has grown way up.  I need to get a infrastructure going which can not only support my sites but also help me get a head start for my new sites. I have very well understood , i am just one person and cant be everywhere at the same time. I need to get more people involved into this business of mine but the majority of the people I meet are ‘Useless’ .  totally lost and good for close to nothing.

I am sure as time passes , it will all come along . I’ll be where i want to be and do what i always wanted to do.

Who moved my cheese ?

January27

Just when I thought I could pay the god damn tuition fees they increased it. Now that is not the best thing to happen but its ok , i ll take it in a positive way and work harder to make more.

I have been working hard but i have been having issues focusing . I have lot of work that needs to be completed in a very short span of time. I’ll have to be working atleast 20 hours a day in the next few days to cover this ground.

I usually am not able to work during college days. I need to get my self in routine which I am seriously failing in. Thanks to msn and fb . But at the end of the day , the people i spend my time talking to help me out when I am in shit.

Talking of shit , I have lately been in a lot of debt. Due to wiring the amount last month. I have been borrowing money from every one I possibly know and I am still in need for more. The debt is around 200$ at the moment. I’ll be able to pay it but not until next 2 weeks. Which is slightly a down side.

That brings me to talk about debt. Debt enables you to do stuff with the money which your future money. The problem is lot of people misuse debt and get into lot of shit. If debt used wisely can enable you to propel your growth exponentially. Around 150 $ have gone into buying sites which according to my analysis should pay off.

Well that was lot of rambling for today .

Stay classy .

PS: Hafiz you are a dick.

Dubai – City of gold ?

January20

First thing first , gold is too expensive and no one can afford. My goldsmith friends have all been complaining , there is no sales due to real high price. Its not just the gold price that has changed in the recent past. The very foundations of dubai have been shaken.

Since the melt down in 2008 , people are leaving and going. The population is decreasing. Landlords were doubling the rent once upon a time and now they are bringing it down just in hope some one takes their apartment. All the buildings have the ‘To Let’ sign. ( What goes around , comes around , Bitches ! )

I really don’t blame the people that have left. The salaries are the same , cost of living is high and the best part they are getting almost the same amount back in India where the cost of living is a little less too. Why wouldn’t they swap ?

People who have stayed back are actually people who have been here for more than 10-20 years. They are not happy here either. Things can’t really go far when your expatriate or working population is not happy with the developments .

Staying Focused : Part 2

December10

Like i said in the earlier posts , I was having serious troubles staying focused and finishing off all the tasks I am supposed to. After thinking a lot about it , I jumped to a conclusion is I need a very detailed ‘To do’ List and may be also a ‘Not to do ‘ list when I am doing tasks from the ‘to do’ list .

I study in a engineering college and have a decent work load. To be honest, its not that much but its still there. The way the semester is planned out , exams just keep coming. Once they start , they don’t stop till the end of the semester. My classes are well spaced out and i usually do get a lot of free time between classes but unfortunately, i have never been able to put it to any use. I also get a decent amount of time in the evening which usually is spent loitering around. Its kinda hard to focus after coming back from college. But, If i wanna reach somewhere now things have to change and they have to change quick.

About my to-do list , All the tasks are divided to suitable sub tasks and similar tasks are grouped together. This enables me to not only complete the task but also not to miss out on the details which I always do. I have also listed down TV and MSN Messenger as my biggest distraction. So i need to make sure , when I am working these things need to be off.

I’ll keep ya folks updated.
