WORK AND PLAY





WORK AND PLAY



Its your Grandad AO,
Welcome back growth family.

 Managing work and play will be a big factor in all of our lives, especially for students who always have the opportunity to do both. In order to do both we need to manage how much we work and how much we play. If we don't then it is very easy for us to fall into a bad situation.

In order to be able to balance work and play then there is a few things that need to be addressed. 

 Your ability to SACRIFICE is most most important. Me, you and the whole of the growth family all have big aspirations. We all want to achieve great things. With all great things come great things come greater sacrifice. Regardless of what your goal is. There will be a time where you have to say NO to play so you can work. 

You need to know when to say YES and when to say NO. Decide what your balance is and stick to it. It may be 70% work and 30% play or 50 50. Balance does not mean equal.   

Find out what YOUR LIMIT is. If you are really out here working then you will need play to de-stress and distract you. So when you get back to working then you are able to fully focus. ( read the 'Rest' blog for more on this)

What is more of a PRIORITY.  Only you can decide what is more of a priority to you in that moment of time, going to play or to work. If there is something urgent coming up then it makes sense for you to choose to work rather than play. 

 If you WORK AHEAD then there is a high chance that you may not need to actually to sacrifice because you have done everything that you need to do and therefore you are able to play when others may have to sacrifice play to work. this can be done through being efficient, organised and  . 

THANK YOU for your time,
I hope that you enjoyed this read.

Being Independent in University and life

Being Independent in University and Life Welcome back blog family.  It's your Grandad AO and The Growth Never Stops .  EVERYBODY NEEDS INDEPENDENCE , especially people going to university. University most definitely teaches people independence by throwing them in the deep-end. Forcing us students to cook and learn how to fend for ourselves. Even force ourselves to go into our most hated lectures at 9AM! But with saying that, you can easily be a university student and not be independent.  We all need to understand that IT IS ONLY US ON OUR JOURNEY'S in life. I'm not saying that we are all alone in this walk of lives or that we don't have people there for us such as friends and family. What I am saying is we are the only ones who go through exactly what we go through when we go through it. WE are the only one who decide where we go on this journey with our actions. I don't believe anyone's purpose on this earth is to be a follower, yes some peo

STOP THIS

STOP THIS!! STOP letting the length of the journey stop you from getting where you want to be. You Do not need to conqor the world in a day, take a breath. Slow down.  So many times when I think about what I want to do in life I think that's it's such a hard and long of a journey it will be.  MLK said “Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase . ” so we need to have faith in order to know that we will eventually get to where we need to be ( the top of the staircase).  Once we have faith in ourselves, faith that we are more than capable of completing whatever we've set out to do.  I'm juggling a lot at the moment at university and its very easy for me to feel overwhelmed with big and little tasks from dissertations, going gym, basketball practice, cooking and the Blog, Youtube/ podcast however really and truly I am going to keep on feeling overwhelmed until I know I can do all I wish to & decide to

HOW TO BE PRODUCTIVE

HOW TO BE PRODUCTIVE Hello everyone, I'm back again. Let me quickly give you some pointers on how to be productive.  Being productive will allow you to get more tasks completed within the day.  So lets get started.  The first thing which can allow you to be more productive in the day is having more time in the day. How can you have more time in the day??? WAKE  UP EARLY Yes I said it. And I said it because it's true. However, just because it's true doesn't mean that it is easy. I've tried to do it before and successfully did for a few weeks but eventually, I fell out of it. To wake up early it means that you have to go to bed early too, and when you live with your friends at university it can be extremely hard if you are like me and struggle with self-discipline.  Waking up early is so advantageous because you don't have many things if anything to distract you. Nobody is texting your phone, nobody saying let's do this. Ad
