January 2010 has just zoomed pass...

Tomorrow is Feb liao...

everytime i pause and think about how fast time passes...my mind can't help but go back to this article i read a while ago about priorities in life and the allocation of time to the different tasks...

most people, except some workaholics, would say that their priority in life is family....strangely enough....the amount of time spent at home 'conscious and not asleep' is so little compared to time spent in the office.

Another point it mentioned was the amount of effort given to each priority. This point really hits the nail in the head for me!

Assuming that each person has a fixed amount of effort for each day ~ 100% and if the person put in 100% at work, what is left for family? Yes, your maths is quite good ~ 0% and strangely again, this person's priority might be the family....

Therefore, starting from now, you might want to think about putting in possibly ~70% of your effort at work and thus have energy after you get home to really engage in what is really more important and fulfilling to you in your life! =)
