Redesigning my life





I am moving on January 12th to a new flat, if any of you have taken note in my blog is that I have already moved in 2012 and now I move in 2013. I do not know what it is but I fully believe that I am cursed when it comes to staying settled in one place. But now it is going to change! I am fully confident that this new place I am moving into will be solid for more than a year, or at least until I get over to England *laughs*

It has almost reached to a point that it is tiring to keep moving so much, this year alone I have moved twice. One due to a friendship gone wrong and both of us were on the lease, second that my next head tenants wanted to leave as they had lived in the flat for about 3 years. Not having the best of luck. What do you do when every place you end up, it is only a matter of time (short time) that you have to move again? One thing is I definitely refuse to live with my parents, as much as I love them, we function more harmoniously when I do not live permanently with them.

When this move happens I will be one step closer to graduating, and one of my new years revolutions is to be more organised with myself. Now in the past and I know people can agree with me, is that when you set goals it is pretty rare that all can be achieved. However this one goal in particular I want to achieve, because I know this goal will filter down into other goals. The goal is to keep my room organised, not a large goal I have to say, but my room reflects to a point my life; which is CHAOS. My degree is Business majoring in Management, which when I think about it makes me laugh! I can organise and delegate everyone around to produce a successful outcome, but when it comes to my life, zilch  nada, not even close to sorting out my room. Which I would like to point out is my life in there. 




So in a nutshell I will blog about sorting, purchasing and organising my shift. It will include sorting out items that you know you shouldn't really need and the trick of shifting from a large room to a smaller one. Believe me where I am moving to is a lot smaller!

Also for any of you that are in the same situation like me I found this cool website with tips and ideas to help with the big day!

Alright,
Happy New Year everyone and have a Merry Christmas

Working & Studying




It has been just a little over 2 weeks that I have now been in my work placement, I am pretty impressed that I have managed to go 2 full weeks of working full time! What makes it even more crazy is that I am looking at my surrounding environment and for the first time my studies have started to sink in. This revelation has definitely given me a more positive look into the relevance of the importance of study for the workplace. 

I noticed the first few days at the job, that I was trying to connect what I had studied with the tasks that were required of me. What I came to realise pretty quickly was that as much as theory is there to provide guidelines, you need to see the process of how it is down within the organisation first.  My organisation I work for have got some great processes, for a small business it is very effective in retaining vital documents. However the restructure has thrown all these documents into an array and it is my task to sort out the chaos, which I have come to realise that I really really like.

What I have found is this article it was really interesting to read, yes it is common sense; but what I have discovered is that while I may think it is common sense, may not be to someone else. I also have come up with another way to improve my blogging to make it more fun and I hope that you our there in the internet world that happen to stumble across it will enjoy it too!

Peace Out

Summer Pinterest

Now that summer is finally knocking on our door step (for those who are in the southern hemisphere) everyone try's to get into better habits. Myself being one of them. However I had started earlier (with eating and exercise) but found that I literally fall off the wagon time and time again, but in my defense I keep getting back on that frustrating wagon. So I have set myself a challenge, to use visual media i.e. Pinterest to motivate me and keep me on track. Along with a goal to meet, doing a baby triathlon in February, a very good goal to work towards I think!!

I really am determined to get to that point were fitness is about of my life not a chore but something I choose to do because I like it. Hmmmm that might take a while, but it is always good to have a goal and a realistic one too. So Pinterest will you be the benefactor in getting me motivate to improve all aspects of my body and mind? or will you just irritate the hell out of me?

Will report back on the weeks findings,

Distraction to a Procrastinator



It has come to my attention, that being a procrastinator is tough, not only are you always looking for an excuse to do something else; you end up achieving almost nothing. (It is surprising that I have made it through uni). This assumption came to me only minutes ago, when I still haven't finishing reading my journal article, I just thought I could figure out the ending from what I have read.

So as a token of good faith and kindness I am going to pass on my distraction to you:
I have started reading online magazines and I have to say they are rather refreshing than flicking through the glossy magazines that you get from the supermarket, yes they have fashion and beauty tips and who is sleeping with who, but you don't find such articles as "When guys just want to be friends" or "how to make the most delicious peanut butter chocolate cake", seriously these articles that I am finding are hellishly more interesting than the typical articles talking about how to get a guy to like you.

I have decided everything I  find awesome I am going share it with you, and if you start getting addicted just like me, I take no responsibility for my actions!
Here are a few that I happened to have found today:
  •  If you are not a Liam Neeson fan you have not lived
  •  To be honest I fully agree that over-sharing on certain personal thing is too much!
Talk soon
