This is how I apply it in my day-to-day (and why I tend to ask everyone around me to take the quiz).

I don't have problems in delegating work. Actually I am pretty good at delegating and keeping track on how things … Continue reading Prioritizing: asking for help
It's time again for the monthly goal meet-up. I guess I am still on time as February just started, but this time I think I didn't do as well as the month before. Strange how fast January flew by. Do more technique exercises with the cello (even though doing songs is more fun). Yes! I … Continue reading Monthly goals February
