Work Life Balance in 2012

It has been a while since I write about work life balance.

3rd January 2012 is the first work day of the new year. Everything as usual but corporate that I worked at has targeted a 20% increase in revenue.. What does it means? It means that the employees will need to work smarter and harder to achieve the corporate ultimate goal in the new year.

I left office at 8:30pm and reached home around 9:30pm. My soul and body has already exhausted at the moment I had my dinner. 

A balance life means spending 8 hours per day equally to 3 vital elements as below:

a. Family

b. Career

c. Rest, Health & Fitness

I have turned mid 30s in 2012. It is important to live a balance life everyday. If I live everyday like 3rd January 2012, basically I will achieve my career objective, spent no time with family and causing insufficient rest and jeopardise my health and fitness.

A lousy family life and unhealthy body will ended up causing you less efficient in your career.

If you are a boss running your own company or a department, please impart the work life balance lifestyle culture among your circles. A balance life will be able to create positive working environment and promote productivity.

In short, work life balance is a win-win-win deal to the 3 aspects of life as mentioned above.

Say NO to Passive Smoking 6

My father used to be a heavy smoker. He does not like to be passive smoker even though he was a smoker. That's why he never smoke at non-smoking areas. I am glad that he managed to quit smoking for health sake recently.

Today afternoon, we have visited to one of the Pappa Rich cafe in Klang Valley. We were seated at the air-conditioned area which is also an area that smoking is prohibited. The smoking area will be at the tables along the open air walkway).

While we were sipping our cup of tea and coffee, the annoying cigarette smoke irritated me. It was puffed out from a selfish culprit that smoked in the non-smoking area.

Selfish smoker

"I need air-cond, but wanted to smoke also, syiok!"

"Don't worry buddy, nobody will come after me smoking at prohibited area, this is Malaysia."

6th Google Adsense Pay Cheque Received

The sixth Google Adsense pay check (cheque) arrived last week. It has been quite a while since I received the fifth pay check from Google Inc 6 months ago.

Marco's 6th Google Adsense Pay Check

I have been very quiet for a while, and have very less posting in 2011. But, the Google Adsense earning does perform consistently with slight increment in term of earning per month.

Maybe I shall set some goals to transform Google Adsense earning as one of the main income streams.

Current Performance
2011:  2 pay checks per year (half yearly)

Target
2012:  4 pay checks per year (quarterly)
2013:  6 pay checks per year (bi-monthly)
2014:  8 pay checks per year
2015: 12 pay checks per year (monthly) 

I believe the above target is realistic and achievable. Don't you think so?
