@op, when you are 6 fts under the ground, thats when it is late to get a degree.

Doing the same thing in a different and interesting way daily makes that thing non-monotonous, just that you need your thinking cap in order to achieve that.

AjanleKoko: Well . . .

1. Be proacaive. Don't let the day or task catch you off-guard. Be prepared.

2. Begin with the end in mind, i.e. what do you want to achieve at the end of the day? Write it down at the beginning, so you can use that as your day baseline.

3. Put first things first, i.e. start with the most important, that needs to get done. Those tasks that can't be rushed.

4. Think win win. When the coworkers come with their fire brigade situations, negotiate with them. Don't allow yourself to be snowballed or sucked into their activities. Find a way to satisfy them while not jettisoning your own critical deliverable. If you can't. it's better to buy time, find a stalemate, which gives you space to focus on your own tasks.

5. Seek first to understand, and then to be understood. Try to understand why they need you to DROP EVERYTHING, and focus on their tasks. When you understand, let them realize that you also have stuff to get done.

6. Synergize. Use other people to get parts of your task done quickly. Don't try to be a hero and do it all by yourself, if you can avoid it. Proactively use your informal connections to get things done quicker. Don't hide behind emails or memos. That informal phone call to a colleague, or desk-side chat, they can help oil the wheels of results!

7. Sharpen the saw. Take ergo breaks. I recommend ten minutes for every 100 minutes of work, because Africans tend to work slower than, say, Asians. International standard is a break every hour. Put in 100 minutes of work, then take a 10 minute break by going to pee, taking a glass of water, or just standing up and walking around.

This is all courtesy of Steven Covey's Seven Habits, and how I have applied them to my daily routine. Hope it helps!

Bookmarked. God bless you for this.

For primary schools, it is 15k or more per month for graduates.

^^^ exactly. As simple as ABC.

^^ i will be writing p.e 1 this november by God's grace.
Thanks.

justwise: One of them i know here is even a visa agent who has being using this website for ages, after dropping his numbers and email address for his 'clients' willingly he is now moaning about privacy and all sorts of nonsense.

Buhahahahahahaha

*subscribing*

candylips: some people will claim to have 5 yrs experience but what they actually have is 5 1 yr experiences.

Hmmmmm! But isn't that okay too? If not, why? At least a year experience each in five different places (aligned with one's career) can still be okay now.

@skyone, Seriously,i dont know what the problem is, for sanity's sake, change your email, after that, log out and do not ever log in again, simple as ABC, believe me thats the most simple and best way to deactivate your account.
Bros, you tire me o.

So? Abeg tell dem to park well joor. Bunch of eeediots.

^^^ infact, End of discussion!!

onatisi: stop listening to daft ppl who have no new idea u have a fantastic idea and concept and when issues like this crop up it is up to you to modify and upgrade,facebook,google,and all other sites keep upgarding and keep doing something new,i have a few suggestions for u though,hold let me take my beer first

We're waiting.

executinal: A friend of mine bought half a crate of eggs and discovered that there was nothing inside , Just shell he went to where he bought them and broke all the eggs and all was found empty .THen they went to d poultry to complain, some chichkens came out and started lavghing and said ''see these fools, they don't know that we too have started using condom.hahhahahah!!!

10th century joke.

Odunnu: Tkb417 is fine. Takes great pleasure in his control over his NL visits.

Hmmmmm, nice one.

AjanleKoko: Here is an irony:

All of the people featured by violent on this thread are Fortune 500 CEOs. That is a very apt example of what most of us value as success. We are institutionalized by the corporate ethos. I don't consider many of these people are inspirational or innovative. Most of them are privileged beneficiaries of some elitist dynasty. Some are heirs of success.

I'm surprised that people like Seth Godin, Oster Pistorius, Robert Kiyosaki, Haile Gebreselassie, and even Kim Dot Com are not featured here. Are they not successful people?

Haile Gebreselassie for one. NO disrespect to Nigerians intended, but our nation can never produce someone like him. No be curse. We just cannot. Even our sportsmen play sports because they want to be rich, no desire to achieve anything apart from money.

This is just the 'bitter' truth, we (nigerians) all live and work for our daily needs which is okay, but some try to accumulate cash (not wealth) for 'their' future ones not minding the way the cash is generated.

To worsen the matter, this horrible idea has diffused to the other side, check out the different cases of corruption, fraud, and other activities like insider trading in houses, neglect of professional ethics in order to amass cash, this is all over and i dont think it can be stopped.

You know what, there is an 'unable to avert' danger ahead and i think the globe is graduating from its 'crisis' state to 'shrinkage' state.

[quote author=~Royal~]...This is confusing as hell, i don't know if my phone is messing up or not....

Because, It appears to be a conversation taking place in here...but i only see one Name...

..Who the hell is she talking to..?

My Galaxy 3 Must be on it's Last Legs.[/quote]Hahahahaha, u bahd.

What about tkb417?

skyone: Your website lacks simple security plus no procedure on how to close registered account this is absolutely unacceptable. ANYBODY CAN TRACE ANYONE THROUGH YOUR WEBSITE; JUST AT THE TYPING OF EMAIL ADDRESS AND EVERYTHING IS EXPOSED THIS IS ABSOLUTELY STUP1D.

You are right but you can edit your profile, the mere removal of your email addy and its replacement with another solves the problem (even a wrong or a 'general purpose' email addy can be used.

Happy b'day to you Mr Seun. More years ahead.

It seems boko haram members are now piloting our airplanes.

AjanleKoko: Everybody uses discretion. There's no empirical method for getting the best results. You just go with your gut, 7 times out of 10, because you can't afford to wait too long.

Man isn't really unpredictable. In fact, man is quite predictable. Man just needs to be managed or controlled. Put controls in place, and adhere strictly to them. Don't let yourself be swayed by emotions.

Quite interesting!

free2naira: maybe you guys should try the telecoms sector, I know of an executive that earns $170,000 per month!!!!!

A big lie!! Or you wanted to say 'per annum'.
