SOC: Spending Time Efficiently

Dominique Thoughts Stream of Conciousness

It’s the 2nd week of 2012 and the year is really zoom around faster this time. I feel that I’m more pressed to be more efficient with my usage of time as there is so many more things to do this January as compared to last month . I have to watch the clock even more closely this year and discipline myself not to waste so much time online with facebook and other social media sites. Even though I still need to utilize them so that I can keep up with the latest updates and fill myself in with the latest challenges which I am participating in but I now limit myself to 5-10 minutes as the rest of the time should be doing other things like drafting and creating posts which have to be scheduled or done for the day. I’m also more busy this two weeks as I’m have a few products to review concurrently which I would be posting on my blog later this week or the next.

Next week we will be celebrating Chinese New Year and welcoming the year of the Dragon. It seems so fast to be celebrating Chinese New Year again. Looking back at Tiger Girl’s last year’s Chinese New year’s photograph she has really changed a lot and is no long looking like a doey eye baby.I can’t wait to dress her up in this year’s Chinese New Year costume that we have picked out for her.

I ‘m looking forward to taking lots of photos of the kids this coming weekend and the 2 day break would be great for them.

SOC: Starting Anew Through De-cluttering

Dominique Thoughts Stream of Conciousness

It has been a busy first week as the boys just started the new school year. We are slowly getting into the back of school routine. The six week holidays had whizzed passed in a blink of the eye. Even though New year is just over we are busy getting ready for Chinese New Year which we will be celebrating later this month.

I am starting this year anew by de-cluttering the boys toys. I’m packing up those that they no longer play with to donate to the poor. They have too many toys and it’s time they learn to share them with the lesser fortunate.

My little helper and I managed to set aside two big boxes of toys to donate and will be passing them over to their grandfather who does charity work in the Philippines.
