How to Make More Time For Your Life
Do you wish you could work less and play more? Are you so stuck in the rut you can't see a way out? Have you ever said I wish I had more time for me? Well there is hope. First of all you have to be aware of your situation, have a strong desire to change and then take action. Jackie's StoryJackie is 31 yrs of age and the Business Development Manager for an insurance company. She always arrived at work at 8.00 a.m. and never left the office before 6.30 p.m.
most nights. She bemoaned the fact that work took over her life. Through the process of coaching we discovered that the only reason Jackie didn't have a personal life was because she never planned to have one. She realised she buried herself in her work needlessly. She avoided going home as she had nothing to look forward to.
Jackie lived on her own, she wasn't in a relationship and had no hobbies. So she defined her purpose in life through her work. It made her feel worthwhile and wanted. Although her career was blossoming, Jackie was unhappy. In fact, she was lonely.
We worked on getting Jackie on purpose in her personal life. Through the coaching process we concentrated on three key goals which would be achievable and realistic over a six month period. Why? Because that timeframe is long enough to achieve measurable results and make long term changes. Jackie's main goal areas related to her career, health and fitness and relationships. This is what she came up with: CareerLeave work by 5.00 p.m.
each day. Health and Fitness To be able to wear my black skirt. (Jackie had put on so much weight that she couldn't do the zip up.) RelationshipTo be in a loving relationship. There were a number of secondary goals, however these three were the key ones that Jackie was the most passionate about and was prepared to take action on. Define the GoalOnce the goals were defined we then worked out the strategies to reach them and then the actions to take to achieve them.
Career - Leave work by 5.00 p.m. each dayWe looked at Jackie's time management. I had her fill out our Weekly Planner which also can be used as a time sheet. We discovered she wasted at least two hours a day on unwanted interruptions and being unable to say 'no'. We showed her simple ways to plan her day more effectively and get more done.
Health and Fitness - To be able to wear my black skirt.Jackie had no exercise routine and her diet was inadequate. Together we worked out the best solution for her physical activity which was to join the gym near her work. By attending the gym at 6.00 a.m. each morning she was able to bounce into work instead of dragging herself in. In fact the gym was a double bonus as there were a few good relationship prospects who attended at that hour.
Jackie never planned what she would eat. In fact she didn't shop regularly and therefore would often grab fast food for lunch and dinner. By showing her healthier alternatives and planning time to shop, it was easy for her to improve her diet and overall well-being. Relationship - To be in a loving relationshipThrough the coaching process Jackie realised she would have to be proactive in this area and needed to meet more people. She had always wanted to do photography and enrolled in a TAFE short course.
By doing this not only did she meet a nice unattached guy but fulfilled a deep seated need to do something creative in her life. Once Jackie realised that she wanted to have a life and was focussed on her goals, everything changed. On her own she would most likely not have made any significant changes as it would have been too overwhelming and require her to move out of her comfort zone. The fact that she was investing her own money in herself and had someone to be accountable to, made a huge impact on the results she achieve.5 Simple Ways You Can Make More Time For Your Life #1 Learn how to manage your time so you can be as effective as possible.You can read books on time management, attend courses or the most effective way is to have a coach to work with you. #2 Say "no"You don't always have to say yes to everyone else's requests.
You can say 'no'. Perhaps you need to learn how to be more assertive. #3 Lighten your loadWherever possible look at ways of delegating or outsourcing tasks to free up more of your time, i.e. at home have a cleaner or gardener. At work see who else can help to lighten your workload.
#4 Do similar things at the one timeDo all your errands in one trip. Visit clients on the one day. Allocate a block of time to return phone calls or respond to emails each day. #5 Timetable Your LifePlan in your diary when you will take time out for you. Maybe every lunchtime you'll go for a 30 minute walk or attend the gym three mornings a week, have a facial or massage fortnightly.
If it's not in the diary chances are it won't happen. The Final WordMany people often float through life with no particular purpose. They'll make the excuse "I haven't got time". It's easy to say "I haven't got time" or "I'm too busy" to avoid having to change and stretch themselves. However, what is the alternative? Continually do the same thing and getting the same results or making changes and getting different results? The choice is yours.Have a great week .

Okay firstly, it's not golf which vexes me, its the people behind the scenes. How they can condone women playing in a men's tournament is beyond me e.g. Michelle Wie! This is not a sexist rant, why should women be able to play in men's tournaments? If it's a men's tournament, then surely it's for men only, if women want to play with men, they should play in a mixed tournament! If women can play in men's tournaments, why can't men put on a skirt and compete in the women's tournament, its ludicrous! On the surface it appears to be sexist, sexist against men that is, as this is clearly unfair and ridiculous. It's like women competing in the men's 400m at the Olympic Games. It just isn't right, my beliefs is that in sport where men have a clear physical advantage, then they should keep the sexes in separate competitions.
To me it seems like common sense. Who knows what the R&A are thinking!.

School Skirts
Short school skirts are pass?. Following the release of the hit music video featuring pop singer Britney Spears in a micro-mini school skirt, hemlines of school skirts crept up to what many consider to be improper levels. This caused the Scottish Parent Teacher Council to clamp down heavily on retail stores selling miniscule school skirts and subsequently, the sale of school skirts decreased. In 2002, Woolworth's, which sells 10 per cent of the school wear in Scotland, sold 200,000 school skirts and just 4,000 pairs of girls' trousers. But this year, the store has sold 104,000 pairs of trousers and 100,000 skirts.
For those who continue to wear school skirts but prefer a more conservative style, Modest Apparel USA is working on a reticent skirt for school uniforms.
This school skirt is double pleated, and has a back zipper; side inseam pockets, and covers the knee when sitting.
The trend, however, is gradually shifting away from solid-colored cotton...

Why Do Men Love Leather Mini Skirts?
It may seem like a fairly unimportant question, but have you ever thought about why men love leather mini skirts so much? Of course, there is the obvious answer that has something to do with the actual amount of a woman's body that is left showing by a mini skirt verses the amount of the body that is left up to the man's imagination. Or it could be because of a fantasy that has previously established itself deep in the mind of a particular man. Or it could be because of the prehistoric notion of leather and some ingrained instinct that draws a man to the supple, smooth surface. But whatever the reason is why men go wild over mini skirts, they are a definite hit!
Mini skirts have been around for years, and they never quite seem to go out of style. Of course, there are different arenas when a mini skirt is probably inappropriate, generally in any work place or public areas where your mini skirt is little more than a band of fabric that covers one the bare minimum.
However,...

Lord Tricking Review
Virginia was wrongfully convicted of the murder of her stepfather and sentenced to hang.
On the night before her execution, she was taken from the prison and made to understand that in exchange for her life, her free will would be forfeited.
She became Patricia Bachman, and was taught to defend herself, to kill with pistol, and to wear necklines just this side of indecency.
Her days were filled with classes on deportment and left handed penmanship.
Her new wardrobe was custom-made, each dress consisting of a bodice and a skirt, two pieces that appeared to be one, so that she could move with agility.???? Randolph Jamond, Viscount Howell, is the man who steals her away from the prison, and impresses upon her that she must obey him or face death by hanging as ordered.
He orders her to strip in the carriage but never looks.
She realizes that he cannot bear the stench of her prison garb.
He, along with a couple he employs, begins...
