Productivity: Part 1

Do you find it hard to juggle between work and interests ? In my scenario, juggling between study and computer programming. I have searched high and low to solve my problem. There are various websites that are useful for those who wanted to be productive. There are:

1. 99Percent
2. ZenHabits

Besides that, i would like to share with you an extract from "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Steven R.Covey. In order to be productive, one has to Be Proactive. You have to do something because you want to and not because of conditions and environment. Your priorities should be placed on tasks that would benefit you and not from your problems. Sometimes it is ok to say "No" to make room for your own tasks.Finally, I would like to end this post with a saying by Eleanor Roosevelt:

"No one can hurt you without your consent"

Just want share with u guys some geeky jokes I found on makeuseof.com:
1. The box said ‘Requires Windows Vista or better’. So I installed LINUX.
2. Computers are like air conditioners: they stop working when you open Windows.
3. I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.'
4. Michael Sinz: “Programming is like sex, one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life.”
5. Programmers are tools for converting caffeine into code.
6. Hacking is like sex. You get in, you get out, and hope that you didn’t leave something that can be traced back to you.

Just started working yesterday. Job is fun and I learn a lot of stuff about selling stuff. Conclusion is humans are fragile and their heart often overwrites what their mind has to say. BTW, I will update my blog every wednesday, friday, sunday, and monday. If you wanna know anything about computer, just send me an email or anything.

Just got a laptop from my father's friend. It is an ASUS X80L, dual-core, 3GB RAM. I just turn it into my lady with ammunation. I even use virtual box to play with Ubuntu. This is my third gf. HAHAHA.
