ReplyDeleteI mean this is the normal thing in work, to be interrupted.

of course ya Ahmed, if you follow up the blog topics (serious ones), you will find that I am introducing general ideas and thoughts, then will go into specifics, but it needs a lot of time to change the culture :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, time wasters doesnt mean that you shouldnt do that, but it means that these stuff should be minimized as much as you can so that you can have your QUALITY time not wasted.
saying no is very hard, but we should know when to say it.
ReplyDeleteyes amina, saying no is not said to anyone at anytime.
ReplyDeleteYou need to have all your priorities and tasks listed first before start saying no. Because you just dont say no for the sake of saying it.
i agree mohaly, if you know what you want and how to do it, then you will know when to say yes and when to say no.
ReplyDeleteThis is applicable in work and life in general, isnt it Mohaly?
yes omar, very well said :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see action in serious topics. Hope to see Fatima here too :))
My curse is procrastination. I've suffered from it ALL my life.
ReplyDeleteand the more boring the task is, the less enthusiastic about it, the more i procrastinate.
Mohaly knows this better than anyone, and he's suffered from it a great deal before :)
Sorry mohaly, it was nothing personal, and thank you for your support and patience! :)
anytime yasmine :)
ReplyDeletep.s. many yasmines in this blog :)
