Alright, in response to thy paramedic's call to add some of my "cheerful-ness" into this blog, I shall reappear in this space once again. Hur hur.
Perhaps today we should talk about time management.
Well as we can see from the header + URL of this blog, this blog actually belongs to a very very BUSY paramedic, i.e. Jeffrey Tan.
Apart from his busy paramedic schedule, he's also involved in many medical coverages, disaster relief, dragon boating, adventure camping, business, part time degree, church, girlfriend.................
?!?!
Alright, thats not the whole point.
My point today is, its important to manage time well. Look, I pity his girlfriend can. This man is so friggin busy, I believe Mrs Tan is staring at his photo everyday, crying for him to pop out from that photo and give her a nice hug. Hur.
ANYWAY. As I told him to give up on certain things as much as possible, I just wondered to myself, what about me?
Looking at how he actually manages everything makes me amazed. At least he can handle everything (minus some frequent complains about how tired he is). I don't think I'll ever be able to handle all these kinda nonsense that comes one after another. Call it poor multi-tasking skills or whatever.
I learnt about goal setting (the SMART way). I learnt about being organised. I learnt about so many aspects of time management. But then when you actually come to do it, is it really that easy? I don't quite think so.
Aye. Alright, I was just trying to fill this space with some Best Missy factor (haha). Yea, u finally found out that you just wasted 1-5mins of your time on this senseless entry. Yea, no time management.
GOTCHA!! MWAHAHAHAH :D.
Okok I better stop, lest someone starts throwing rotten eggs on me.
Wait a min, THIS IS NOT MY BLOG!! THROW ALSO THROW ON JEFF!!! Hur hur :D
