1.Because I feel that the New Year’s Eve is really knocking at our door(s), so I think that we need to read articles that give us trust, that kind of trust we need to make plans, to stick to them, to focus, to be organized and optimized. Optimize Your Life With the SWOT Matrix & 10 Questions That Will Change Your Life: SWOT Analysis Part #2
“A SWOT matrix is a framework for analyzing our strengths and weaknesses, and the opportunities and threats we face. In the first article of this series, I discussed the two top SWOT quadrants, Strengths and Weaknesses. This second part of the series focuses on the two bottom quadrants, Opportunities and Threats.”
“The economic crisis is casting a shadow on many lives at the moment. Maybe you too have some fears about the future? Are you worried about your job? Or about having less opportunities?
I’m going to to show you a simple way of optimizing your life. It’s called the SWOT analysis and is usually used for analyzing businesses. However, it’s actually a great tool for getting a grip on one’s life! I found that I could see more opportunities, as well as be alert to possible dangers, after I did a SWOT analysis.”
2. One of my lifetime regrets, is that I am not organized enough or how i wish to be. I found here some very good advices! Train Yourself to Be Organized
Contrary to popular belief, people are not born organized, it is a learned behaviour. Some may have the good fortune of learning at an early age, from organized parents; some have to figure it out as they go along; and some never learn.
Also contrary to popular belief, being organized isn’t rocket science. It is a habit based on basic principles and tips.
The first thing you have to do is train yourself. Being organized begins in the mind.
3. I am pretty sure that you all know, that if you do a thing and you don’t like it, you will never have the same feeling like when you do it with passion. Focus is another essential point, that I’ve told you before. How Passion and Focus Will Rock Your Career
Why Focus is So Important in Work
If you’re drawn to doing a lot of different things like I am, it’s probably because you enjoy the rush you feel when trying something new. The Pareto principle applies here because you might be able to learn 80% of a skill in 20% of the time it would take to master it. That quick progress is addictive and fun.
