I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but withthe previous entry on this blog the ongoing focus was shifted. Well, that was intentional and I hope to continue that way.
This doesn’t mean that there won’t be more computer related topics discussed here. The only difference is that there won’t be only computer related topics. More than a computer geek, I’m also a family man, a [very, very, very] amateur photographer, an assumed autodidact with interests in a lot of other subjects.
Hope you continue to enjoy my random ramblings.
For those how don’t know, Rock in Rio is a music festival originally designed in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil (which explains the name of the event). However, it has become an international phenomena capable to move crowds of people in Brazil, Portugal and also Spain.
The last event was in Lisbon, with a well known slogan “Eu Vou” which means “I’ll Go”. So, what I have to say is… I Went!
A. bought the tickets and dragged me and [the little] A. with her. We didn’t stay to the end, because it would be late for [the little] A., but it was a very good experience.
The place was stacked with people, but the sound was good and the stage had huge side screens for the shorter ones [little A.]. I hope to repeat the experience as soon has possible.
Time Management is the personal skill each one has to manage and plan the tasks to be performed during a period of time.
Although my tasks end up complete in the expected time-frame, time management is not one of my strongest attributes. Very recently it was brought to my attention that my time management skills could be improved, by using simple tools (for example: a “to do” list).
A brief search on the internet provided some basic questions that I intend to answer in order to improve:
- What is your goal? Specify daily, weekly and monthly goals.
- What have you been doing? Track your daily activities.
- Do you have a plan? Create a detailed schedule to support your goals.
- Do you know what to do first? Prioritize the list of thinks to do.
- How long will it take? Before starting a task question yourself, and learn by confronting your estimate to the real effort.
I’ll try to read more about it, and provide more details as the experiment goes.
