The Final Countdown

As examination day draws near, everybody is busy preparing for the final exam. It is the moment we all are getting nervous and stress at the same time. But why do we waste our time focusing on what made us worry instead of getting prepared for the battle?



This is some tips for the preparation of the final battle.

Creating An Optimal Learning Environment. 

To study effectively, it's very important for all of us to first create an optimal learning environment. We all should choose to study consistently at one place so our mind gets into the habit of working whenever we are there. Our study place should have following characteristics:


Let There Be Light 
The environment is most conducive to learning is one that is brightly lit, preferably with yellow light. This is because fluorescent (white) light is too glaring that it may lead to headaches. 


Check The Temperature
A temperature which is too high will tend to make us feel drowsy or sleepy. Try, as far as possible, to study in a place which is a little colder than what you normally like. The reason is, through research, we tend to keep alert in a colder temperature (Optimal temperature is 19 Celsius)

Free Yourself Of Distractions
Unless we all have a great discipline or will power, it is very hard for us to focus on our studies, so ensure that our study area is free from distractions such as Facebook :P 

Don't Pig Out!
Do not eat a big meal before a study session. It often makes us feel sleepy or drowsy because a lot of energy and blood is directed to your digestive system. Food to avoid is red meat, sugar or white flour as these food types reduce our brain's ability to store information. 

Bach For Background Music?
Play music in the background whenever we study. Music is rhythmic and listening to it has a synergistic effect which enhances brain power. Choose the best music is important too. Find those music which put us in a relax mode (alpha state) so that learning can take place.

These are the tips that I found useful for the final battle towards our final examination. Find it useful or simple? Yet it depends on you. But through so many researches, those are the best way to put our state to study effectively. I have use these few tips and it really helps me to study effectively. Do not forget to leave some feedback based on this post. Nevertheless, good luck to all for the final!

Yes we all can !

Others can, So do you !

Once upon a time, I used to dream about being successful, wealthy and famous in which
owning a multi-million dollar businesses. But guess what? I was never started to make a move, and instead of moving forward, I was moving backward instead.

Anyway, that had been a history. Now I have my own company (it wasn't easy to start a business), I started to attend seminars and workshops to improve my business, I started to create my own business plan and so on and so forth. Instead I involve in a lot more earning-money businesses. Guess what?

I started to live on my own, earning some extra pocket money instead of a monthly allowance given by my mom. So, how do I get started?

It was all the crazy ideas that came from my mind. So, why not you do the same?
Start to take action to go after your dreams/ goals.

A video that I would like to share :



Nevertheless, it was only a short post from me tonight, but more to come in future, and guess what? I'll be having another website that you can visit to know more about how I started with businesses and ways of how you can learn to start from a total zero to hero.
This blog would remain as a lifestyle blog but another would be another site of me. Please stay tuned !

Why I still can cope up with so many things in life? Its Time Management !

o

Two days ago, in one occasion one of my friends asked me quite absurd questions.

Friend: Felix, are you sure you are an architecture student?

Me: mmhhhmmm.. Why then?

Friend: But I assume all architecture students should be busy with hell loads of works, assignments and projects to do. But I wonder why, you seem freakin’ free!

Me: Why do you say so? What made you think that I am free?

Friend: If you are an architecture student, then you weren’t suppose to be here, you wouldn’t be free attending this dinner, taking photos and having your own business while you’re still an undergraduate.

Oh well, here it is, the answer would be the time management. I always tell people this, time management is important, and let's see how I deal with stuff, to manage my time between social life, business and education.

There are 3 rules that I always practice.

1. Don't ever create any impossibles circumstances.
2. Define priorities.
3. Avoid distractions and FOCUS!

I will never trap myself into doing too much things. Don't try to work full time and take a full load."Use time to create success, not failure."
I will only attend events or any occasions which I think is important, if it's not, I would rather spend my times doing some other more important things such as my assignments.

Define priorities! Yes, you gotta find your priorities. You can't just go with the flow. My way is I will jot down or write down stuff to do or we called that as 'Thing to do' list. Is that useful?
It may sound simple but yet the impact is so powerful if you know what you have there to complete and to do. I always do stuff according to my list and guess what? I always finish my assignments or other stuff in time or earlier.

Well, the last one is trying to avoid distractions and FOCUS! As a blogger, photographer and a businessman and a student as well, I'm always full packed with events, occasions, classes, lectures, meetings and so much more! But as I told you in the first point, don't create impossibles situations, don't get yourself to do too much things at one time. And this is where the second point plays its role. Get yourself a 'Things to do' list so that you know which stuff or things you have to do and complete or which events that is important that you might have to attend. While you are doing your important things according to your list, make sure you FOCUS! A lot of people out there tellin' me, why everytime they couldn't finish their work even they list down everything they have to do, and it drag them so long just to finish one single drawing. Then I further asked, what were you doing while you're doing your work? They said, as usual, Facebook's right beside. Can tell that? They obviously do not focus in doing their work.

Is this simple and short post useful to you? This post isn't something I searched in the internet or copy paste from any time management book, but this is based on my own experience whereby I can still earning money, socialize and get a good result. Any queries?
