A Little Pinch of Anything

Time flies!!! Work gets piled up. Have you noticed how your work speed increases when you are about to go for a lunch break or before going home? Has it happened that you had to work extra hours and you could not complete the work within the stipulated time because you were distracted?   If the answer is YES? I have a solution to your problem. What is the Pomodoro Technique? Pomodoro is an Italian word for Tomato. Francesco Cirillo named the system “POMODORO” after the tomato-shaped timer he used to track his work at the university as a student. The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method developed by Cirillo in the late 1980s. The technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, traditionally 25 minutes in length, separated by short breaks.  Pomodoro is a cyclical system in which the work is broken into short sprints and taking breaks to prevent the mind from exhaustion. The only resource needed is a timer.  For every sprint of 25 minutes, we are re...

  “The 7 habits of highly successful people” has inspired me to break down these habits for employees. The inspiration comes from Stephen Covey, author of the book.  NOTE: This blog is going to have too many notes, so, keep reading. {Buy "The 7 habits of highly successful people" book to get it completely free for prime users with my affiliate link, so that I can come up with more posts like this : CLICK } Who are successful employees? Success has a wide range of definitions. And it has changed its dynamics with time. Now we have all heard that there are successful people like CEOs, Owners, and Investors, etc. (But) Are there successful employees too? Yes, these employees walk up the ladder faster than others. How? By building habits. To allow ourselves to succeed we need a shift. A paradigm shift of mindset- to change yourselves fundamentally by altering your attitude and behavior consciously on a day to day basis until these become a habit. There are many h...

When I was in school, I remember planting saplings almost forced by the teachers to do so. Then the words trending were afforestation and deforestation. Nowadays, houseplants have taken a massive trend on the internet. “The millennial version of 2.5 kids and a picket fence is six houseplants and no roommate," @tinygorgon  wrote in twitter which broke the feed with likes and followers. People are rewinding back to getting connected with nature. Now almost every third person aims to have houseplants at his/her home. [As you gradually move forward you will come to know the reasons] (********Disclaimer: Links to buy from Amazon at the end of the blogpost********) "While there has been a big focus on what we are putting into our bodies, there is now an increasing number of people considering what they are putting in their homes to make themselves feel better". This mindset is gradually increasing and influencing people towards houseplants.  Millennials (The...

My thoughts every time when my friend is late at the meet-up point, “What was the time we were supposed to meet? Am I early? Is it actually Xday (whichever day you are reading) today? Am I over-dressed? Do I know that person? Does that person really exist? Do I exist? Am I thinking too much? 😆 Hell Yes!!! I am an overthinker. Are you? If yes, this is for you. If no, this is for you too (Thinking more is sometimes good for your health). For Overthinkers, nothing is simple. Everything is a high-intensity situation. For example, suppose you are hungry and you have to order something. Now if you are a normal person you will order that comes to your mind first. But no, we, super thinkers, will include many factors like!!! Am I very hungry or less hungry? What are all the viable options? Will they provide cutleries?  Hot or cold food? What is the price? What is the time? Etc etc. 😥😥 Below are the indications that you definitely overthink. Asking a lot of questi...

I am not very old like in the 40s or 50s, I am just in mid-20s - if you know what I mean.😁😁 I think who I was 7-10 years back (A TEENAGER!!) and who I am today (ADULT) is very different because of the all the opportunities that came by and the choices I made. Following pieces of advice, I wish my favorite Santa had gifted me this letter a decade ago. Dear younger self, Your dream has come true, I am a grown-up woman now and guess what, I have the freedom to do whatever I want and make my decisions for life. But to mention, I am still not close to ‘PERFECT’. "I miss being you” who was crazy, hyped up, casual, and irresponsible but increasingly bold, adventurous, creative, and beauteous. Enjoy your role as a teenager because once it is gone, it’s gone forever. With all the new environmental and hormonal changes you are confused about right and wrong, I understand that. I know you must be thinking that your friends are your parents and your parents to be your e...
