No, I know it’s not Winter and infact it’s not even in the air anymore….if anything, Winter has passed away with a chill and a wave….Even so I am hibernating….no! No! I haven’t shifted to Australia either …btw does Australia has bears????….I know the cute, cuddlyKoalas are there, though I’m not sure about their being cuddlesome…I’ve only seen Koalas on NatGeo and animal sticker sheets.
So anyway I have totally digressed from what I originally wanted to say…I wanted to say that I have been and may even continue to be ‘hibernating‘ for a while….You know how they say if there is a problem then ’sleep on it!’ I’m literally trying to do that 
….. and Ya besides lethargy being my lifelong friend I have , like other people, stuck the same bumper sticker on me: “Sorry I am very busy now a days”….(Whatever!!*!$)…
This last Saturday our company arranged for us to attend a Time Management session by one Dr. Hanif Mohammad….despite it being a Saturday a working day, the session went quite well, thanks to Samra, Preeyaa, Basit and Nida….and even myself for our continual quips and remarks throughout….However Dr. Hanfi said that if you are unable to complete your tasks within a given time frame then you must be slacking somewhere and that you should take each task as an ugly frog which you have to eat.
He said: “Suppose you have to eat a very big, extremely Ugly frog everyday….When would you eat it?”
Almost all of us agreed that it would be early in the morning…Bingo!! that was his point anyway….Our tasks are our toads and we must try to do away with them as soon as first ray of sun manages to fight itself into your eye…Oh man! wouldn’t Fear Factor guys would have simply loved this? One thing…infact two things which rung a bell somewhere in the remote depths of my mind (where there is certainly not a vacuum…or else I wouldn’t have heard the chiming) Two things were:
-
Brainstorm hard and think, what is that one thing that is most important in your life and that you want to achieve……Squeeze out atleast 30 mins each day to work on towards that goal!! -
Take out five to fifteen minutes each day in the morning and ‘prioritize‘ your tasks…needless to say start with the tasks that would fall in the category of ‘Urgent&Important’, synonymous with ‘Critical’…this way tasks that are left wouldn’t be that important anyway…..
Dr. Hanif also told us and we calculated on that, that each of us atleast waste an hour of our office working hour which when divided by out monthly salary and then multiplied by number of weeks in a year…gave the company a loss of atleast xxxmillion Rupees, God! that’s huge….which reminds me I should get on with the web setup of Iris (our company’s internet banking and much more ,utility)…I dropped by here while the Oracle10g Client is installing itself with me occasionaly clicking an option here and there..besides with me having the advantage of coming in early today
So anyways, what I really wanted to say was that, that I might be hibernating for some time and then again maybe not but even so, if this DayBreak seems to be taking a little longer than usual kindly do not think that I got lost in the dark somewhere…I’m BUSY

That time management stuff has always been tough for me too.
I’ve never been to Australia, but I can tell you they have no bears. Just koalas (which aren’t actually real members of the bear family but are marsupials – like kangaroos and wombats)
If you want to see a big ol’ grizzly, polar, brown or black bear, you need to come to Canada!
This time management stuff actually is GOOD…learned few pointers..thanks for sharing
Time Management, the thing i am still learning
But i do take out more than 30 mins each day to work on towards my goals!!
@Ali
and in 30 mins u can decide to miss out da whole day
(i hope u know wot i m saying:) )
Hm, they have them in the zoos. They have the bears in the zoos. Otherwise, I don’t think Australia has bears but I’ve heard of a few Aussie organizations advocating bear rights. But oh hey, talking about toads… my sis was stirring her drink with a spoon in a glass. This created a toadish noise, which an orchestra of toads out in the garden acknowledged in their own toadish language. We talked to the taods outside like this for thirty minutes. It was .. so… fun!!
@ Mr. Chris,
Time management has actually been the bane of my existence, I guess i love the rush of the last minute hullaballo
Canada is so far away but if and when I’ll come I will definitely come for more than just the bears…like the Canadian scenery I’ve heard so much abuot and not to mention the Niagra Falls, which an aunty of mine says makes you so believe in God’s miracles
@Lubna
thnx for reading them thru I hope from now on you’ll be properly managed and never short of time
@Ali Bhai
I think u are more than managed only I guess the problem is that there are only 24 hours in a day
@Faisal
…….Oh I just realized u weren’t talking to me
@Hina
Ah the zoos and the jungles….I’ve never been to a real jungle you know…though I’msure I’ll hate if the bugs start crawling on me…but anything for a nature hike
Oh the language of the toads …so did u ask them whihc of them was the one who was supposed to turn in to a prince? …I bet they had more things to do than catch flies too
