Time Management Rules: How Much Time Do You Need To Spend Working?

Become More Productive With Proper Time Management Habits

The efficiency of 8-hour working day has been argued for a long time now, let alone those cases when the amount of time you spend working has no limits whatsoever. It may seem that you have no choice: that paper writing or those assignments won’t complete themselves. But the thing is, to be more productive you need to create a perfect balance of working hours and off-hours. Read on to learn more about time management rules.

Best Way To Organize Your Time

One recent research showed that workday length doesn’t really affect productivity in any significant way, but the way people organize their work hours does. People who regularly take small breaks from work show higher levels of productivity than those who work for hours in a row. 

The perfect balance is 52 minutes of work followed by 17 minutes of rest followed by another 52 minutes of work… you get the idea. Try this method while doing some important and complex research writing – odds are you’ll notice how much more productive you get.

The only thing you have to remember if you do want to increase your productivity is forget about social media and private messages. During your breaks, do something that would distract you from work – read, do workouts, have a cup of tea. This will give you more energy to complete all the tasks during the upcoming hour of work.

Your Brain Will Tell You How To Be More Productive
Those who discovered this perfect balance of work and breaks show better results and easily catch up on competition. The thing is they’ve realized how to satisfy our brain’s fundamental needs. It is capable of working at full capacity for an hour and then its activity drops down. This decrease of activity lasts for approximately 15-20 minutes.

The best way to avoid exhaustion and all kinds of distractions is to divide your workload in portions.

So instead of working on something until you just can’t focus on your task, listen to what your body tells you. Tiredness or desire to get distracted may be a sign that tells you that you need a break. Your list of essay topics can wait. Relax and forget about your work for a short period of time.

Main Rules of Productive Working Day Organization

Correct time management will help you improve your performance at work, no matter how many hours a day you spend working. If you work on your tasks and assignments during your natural activity peaks, it will be easier for you to deal with large amounts of work. Here are four main tips on how to do this right:

1. Work diligently during that hour and divide your tasks into several separate stages based on your working hour sessions. As a rule, we plan to complete our tasks or projects by the end of the day, week, or month. However, practice shows that your performance efficiency increases when we focus on something we can do right here, right now. Correct working schedule will not only help you work out your own productivity rhythm; it will also make massive tasks look more doable.


2.   Focus on your work completely. You need to pay all your attention and your every effort to what your work on during your activity hour. If you constantly get distracted by something, it will be of no use.


3. Make sure you relax properly during your breaks. Those who find a way to completely detach themselves from thoughts about work during their breaks work more productively afterwards. To increase your productivity, take a break and stay away from your computer, your smartphone and from thinking of your work. Take a walk, read a book, chat to a friend. When there’s just too much of work, the temptation to use your break to make calls or write emails is great but remember that this won’t let you relax properly. 


4. Don’t wait until the moment your body will make you take a break. It will be too late, you’ll miss a planned break and get off track. In that case you’ll need more time for restoring the proper working hours/off-hours balance.

Follow these simple rules and your productivity will increase. You’ll improve your performance and feel much better overall. It is a great way to deal with large workload faster without resorting to outside help. Give this a try – and you’ll forget about contacting custom essay services.

Aiai Delas Alas Endorses HOBE Quick Cook Noodles

Last week had me noticing how Ms. Aiai Delas Alas has been very visible endorsing brands and products left and right. She was doing that while promoting a movie called Bes and the Beshies under Regal Films and Cineko Productions. I felt the sense of thankfulness and dedication as she attributes all these projects to God because she's sharing a lot through her charities and also help building a Basilica (not just a church!) in Manila. She feels it's her life mission, and true enough she's so blessed.

We asked her about renewing her endorsement with HOBE Quick Cook Noodles and she says "I am so happy and he's very good to me (Bobby Co, owner of Hobe Bihon). He is very supportive and as long as he needs me I will be here for Hobe. We started with buses, pretty soon we will do market tours. We have been together for three years and I consider this as a blessing from God, I love how this happens because I have some set aside for my charities. I cook pasta, bulalo, tacos, but quick cook noodles are so easy to prepare and if you're busy and in a hurry, this would be a good thing to have in your homes."

Mr. Co on the other hand shared the good news and said "We have new plans with Aiai as we go out on the streets, trade fairs, US and Asian countries. We are going to have a lot of projects with her now that she's on her third year. We have grown up to 50% sales when she came in the picture. We are very thankful for that. Our product is made of cornstarch, we have better products because we don't use flour. Max's, Aristocrat, Dencios, Chicken Deli is using our products. Right now we are exporting our products in the US, Europe and we are probably going to have her there too. In Chinese it means good taste, we are so proud to have introduced this in the north because it sells quite better in Isabela and northern provinces. We will be studying if we can have a spicy version, or one with Malunggay leaves to fortify it with nutrition and we are raring to do that perhaps soon."

Now I took the liberty of cooking with the HOBE Quick Cook Bihon this evening for dinner and I think I know why people love this one. It's not that starchy type that we're used to eating when cooking Bihon per se, it made so much sense because it's not mushy, it's firm, you can feel it in every fork swirl. I think that's why it's been selling quite good as Mr. Co said earlier, and they are very happy with Ms. Aiai being seen in every pack they sell. They see her as a caring Mom, she really cooks and even promised to cook for us soon. Congratulations Ms. Aiai! Congratulations on your endorsement and thanks for the instant noodles you gave us this morning, I'm putting it into good use.

I'm cooking and eating it today!

Dermairis Korean Skin Mask Now Available in the Philippines

Have you been to South Korea? Have you seen and had friends/family that raved about the Myeong-dong district? Chances are, they are probably raving about Korean skin care and that is at the center of it in Seoul. It's not just there, but all over the world and I'm so glad products from the land of the morning calm are now accessible in the Philippines. I usually buy them off drug stores here in Manila and use them before I go off to sleep, probably like the rest of you guys.

Skin being the largest organ should always be taken cared of because it actually tells how you take care of yourself, nobody wants to look old like a prune right? JW CreaGen, a well respected Korean pharmaceutical and cell therapy company came out with Dermairis Mask so you could achieve a that Korean glass skin. It's the state that is mostly sought after by consumers in Korea that makes it all well hydrated and almost translucent skin. KPOP stars, KDrama actors and actresses often appear like they don't have pores, almost flawless by any standards. The thing that makes this effective is a combination of technologies in cosmetic and pharmaceutical work they put into it. Particularly the JW-EGF (CTP-EGF) and AMF (Artificial Moisturizing Factor) which is the way they moisturize the skin, and EGF or Epidermal Growth Factor that hastens cell and skin regeneration. They even patented it.

Dermairis Mask employs 4 in 1 skin benefits starting from Moisturizing, Anti-wrinkle, Skin Elasticity and Whitening. They have different components in one facial mask that takes care of these problems and takes care of it if you use the product twice a week for 4 weeks to have about 25% of proper moisture on your skin, then keeps it in.

For those who want to have this on their regimen, you may purchase this at leading skin care shops, wellness stores, skin clinics and more. It's available in 2 variants, the Dermairis Blue which has got air pockets that contain nutrients and retails for only Php 70. and the Dermairis Pink which has soft microfibers which retails for Php 150. I would get both if I'd get my hands on it. We need to look good you know!

We don't have to look old just to say we're matured. Men need it too.

Quick and Easy Chicken Dinner Inspirations

It's raining outside and I'm in the mood to cook. I think I want something hot, something cozy, so I could just curl up at the corner of my room and read a book while consuming a heaping bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup. I'm not a fan of the usual packaged ones and I do the legwork if I can. But to tell you honestly I am kinda scared to buy things in the local wet market because of the ambiance. Good thing we have options like Magnolia Chicken that's got the packaging right.

It looks clean, fresh even to the naked eye. I don't even see those ugly bruises in dressed chicken we usually see in the market. It's cleaned and gutted already so you don't have complicated knife skills to do that yourself. They've got choice cuts too which takes away your not so favorite parts. This solved a lot of fights in the dinner table at home because my Dad and I always wanted the Drumstick and Thigh parts, no kids were hurt during the show LOL.

I saw a documentary in the UK about Free Range Chickens and it did stick with me. I'm glad that Magnolia is actually offering them now in the market. Although they do the dressed chicken well, it's nice to have options. I guess it all boils down to preference, but I do see and taste the difference between the regular and the free range ones. I am also happy that it's actually a big one, so quality wise it's not compromised. In some way, it's more humane, they're not humans but the process they do from raising them til it arrives to the kitchen is admirable.

I also am itching to actually make my own Eggs Benedict. For me, it's something that would spell a perfect breakfast. Mmm... I can almost feel it.

So for different occasions, different lunch and dinners we had chicken at home. This one is a little curry based. Using the usual boiled chicken, with a little turmeric, soy and some chili, this is a spicy smoky invention at home. I always do that.

Saute Chicken in Canola oil, chilis, basil, tomatoes, onions and a little sesame seed, stir fry, it's a lovely dinner.

Coat chicken in the usual breading, put in a tea spoon of tabasco, a little sugar, honey, you can have your own hot wings at home.

Roasted chicken with lemon grass inside, prepare rue, butter and water, salt and pepper for gravy. Put it on a hot plate, a little brandy and put on a show. 

For the perfect breakfast, toast bread, put egg in a skillet and poach it for a few seconds. Prepare Behcamel sauce, Bacon, lightly blanch and sautee in butter the tomatoes and asparagus, my perfect Eggs Benedict!

You can also prepare the fluffy scrambled egg, sausages, toasted wheat bread, just make sure you put a little milk on the eggs. It's a lovely day!

If its raining outside, you can prepare a good heaping bowl of Arroz Caldo by using Magnolia Free Range Chicken, put some on top of porridge, with fried tofu, garlic, strips of more chicken, and slices of Magnolia Cage Free Brown Eggs. Curl up on the window and watch the day go by. That's going to put everyone in a good mood!

There's a lot of things you can do with Chicken these days, you don't even have to have a recipe actually. Just try to do it like I do, you check your refrigerator, see what ingredients you can use, check your pantry for some unused spices, put it all together and experiment. Life is good, make sure you enjoy it with good food. Magnolia Chicken is available in my local supermarket, I've seen it in the wet market too. It's a good day to cook, so don't even think about it. Go whip up something for your family, your friends, or even just for yourself. 

Believe me, it'll be good.
