Stay Motivated!!! It Helps

It is the start of yet another day and another chain of routine tasks. Most of us dread the difficult duties that face us and keep postponing them. That is procrastination and it is not a nice thing. It prevents us from achieving some of our lifelong dreams. We have to fight it and be smart. We need to kick out the languor and ineptitude from our lives. The simple cure to procrastination as given by some of the top authors of motivational books is simple: DO IT NOW!!!! Simply repeat that slogan and do as it asks you. But woe unto you if you just say it like some magic slogan and expect it to work.

You need to act immediately an idea or plan comes to mind. That way you will make it big and complete your tasks on time. If for instance everytime your alarm bell rings in the morning you are tempted to switch it off and continue with your sleep, change that by adopting the 'do-it-now' slogan. That means that you force yourself out of bed when the alarm bell rings by just reminding yourself that you have to sit up then and not wait a little longer... that you have to walk out of your bed and prepare for a long day ahead.

So, if you have an assignment that you have been postponing for long or a task that you would rather not do... think again; you can do it and you can do it now. There will always be tasks that sound or feel unpleasant... but they are surmountable and easy to do once you focus on them wholeheartedly.

Another factor that aids procrastination has been the large size of some of the tasks. Break your tasks into small chunks and handle them one at a time. You will be amazed at how smooth your work path will be.

Jenga Kenya Yetu!! Work hard and fight procrastination.

Power Blackouts and Soccer

Sorry ...after a long (and wrong break)... I have finally returned and the first thing I noted is that some weeds have grown in my blog-shamba and that some crook has been putting unsavoury and immoral links under the guise of comments on my old postings. Asiyekuwepo na lake halipo!! But I am now back and in charge. Comments will be regularly vetted and will no longer be solicited from unknown (and unregistered) quarters/users.

BACK TO MY TOPIC:

It is the season of soccer and the season of fun... but it seems it is also the season of power blackouts. That means only one thing for those who want to watch soccer from the comfort of their homes. They will be damned ...humiliated and left to sulk in the darkness as power is unceremonously cut off by the supposed lighting experts.
KPLC has been inefficient and now needs to be whipped out of its deep and inexcusable slumber. Regular power blackouts in most city estates (on an on&off basis) are now interrupting our schedules with ease. The power blackouts have returned with a vengeance and seem to hit during the post-10 pm soccer-viewing period. That means you might have started watching the Adebayors, Denilsons, Sahas, Decos and Ronaldinhos in action and then wham!!! darkness visits.

Just what does the Kenya Power and Lighting Company think it is doing to hardworking Kenyans? Regardless of whether they are watching soccer or not... Kenyans deserve better.
