Do You Always Feel Like There is Less Hours in a Day?

Hello World,

I suffer from the, “less hours in a day syndrome” and thankful that I am not alone. Many people just like me are feeling the same way. I was reading more into this subject of why this happens. I found some easy reads which just talks about, “you don’t manage your time properly.” This could be a case for many people, but maybe not so much for me. I just literrally feel there is less hours in a day to get all my work, task, life done.

Quoting an artcile from their Mind and Body segement, I realized it’s because I multi task alot. I have ten things going on and I want to excel or atleast get some work done towards each. Mulitasking slows you down if you don’t focus on just one of your goals. Exactly, what is happening with me.

A study shows that the American work week has shrinked from 11 hours to 8 hours from 1965 to 2003. This means people back then had literally no time, they just worked day and night. Can you imagine working 11 hours? No family time or time for yourself at all.

Interestingly, the study also, shows leisure time can be both good and bad. If you are enjoying your leisure time and it’s filled with activities that you like, then yes time will fly. However, if you are stuck doing something you are not enjoying then you will perceive it as a waste of time and stuck.

Goal conflict from your real passion is another reason why you feel like you are short of time. This means the goals you set does not align with your passion. Your passion project frees up more time for you, how does that make sense? Well, a passion project is something you are passionate about and hence, time flies whey you are focussed and working completely on that.

Anyways, all I wanted to say through this blog is that I am losing time because, I am multitasking. Please feel free to share if you also feel the same as me?

Want to go to a Beach Party in 2021?

Hello World,

I am already behind, like super behind on my goals for this blog! This goal would have been fulfilling in the mean time however, what would actully fulfill or make me happy in this life?

Have you ever asked yourself that? If you read my blog, If Money Wasn’t an Object… then you would know if there is one thing that makes me happy it’s travelling. I love to travel. I think that’s what I am missing the most during this lockdown. I travel every year! I have been to Dubai, Philippines, Thailand, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Dubai, New Zealand, Australia, India, Abu Dhabi, Mexico, Bahamas, Domnican, Canada and all over the States…always forget to mention something on my long list.

In 2020, I wanted to visit Costa Rica, however, we all know that didn’t happen. It really makes me happy. Getting to know every culture, getting to know how the people are, getting know what their struggles are, also experiencing the beauty of the nature in each place. I love it! I miss it.

I think if money was not an object then I would travel from one place to another and never get bored.

So somehow I am putting it out to the Universe that this is what I want from life. I want to travel all over, non stop! Sounds funny but, that’s what would make me peace.

Can you write about something that would make you happy for the rest of your lifetime? Being rich isn’t the answer. However, working hard to earn financial freedom can really get you to your dreams.

What Are Your Thoughts on Your Data and Privacy?

Hello World,

GDPR is old news now, but for those who are unaware, GDPR stands for General Data Protechtion Regulations. There is also California Privacy Rights Act. These acts and relgulations are there so you the consumer is aware how an organization uses your data. Under GDPR all European citizen are protected and Califorina is self explanatory. That means if an organization in the United States has European customers or clients then they need to be compliant with the GDPR guidelines otherwise the penalty is brutal.

Accoriding to Business week daily, organizations use your data in four different ways:

1. Personal data. This category includes personally identifiable information such as Social Security numbers and gender as well as nonpersonally identifiable information, including your IP address, web browser cookies, and device IDs (which both your laptop and mobile device have).
   
2. Engagement data. This type of data details how consumers interact with a business’s website, mobile apps, social media pages, emails, paid ads and customer service routes.
   
3. Behavioral data. This category includes transactional details such as purchase histories, product usage information (e.g., repeated actions), and qualitative data (e.g., mouse movement information).
   
4. Attitudinal data. This data type encompasses metrics on consumer satisfaction, purchase criteria, product desirability and more. 

Given this information, what are your thoughts on how your data is being used? Are you opposed to it or does it not matter to you?

There was a cool story I recently read about a electric bicycle sharing appliacation which collected data to solve route details. It collected which route you took. This data allowed the company to improve on their maps and also personalize their suggestions. Some organizations are not allowed to hold and keep your data and hence, they obtain third party support who hold and maintain your infomration. The problem with that is, we don’t actually know what that thrid party does with the information. Does your information gets sold over and over in an infinite loop. Who knows?!

What are your thoughts on this?

Where Are You on the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs?

Hello World,

I was reading a 2021 article regarding conusmer behavior and trends suggest with more people out of jobs with the current pandamic situations, most people will be at the bottom of of the triangle on Maslow’s Hierarchy.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, 1943, shows the pillars of human needs. Humans need to fulfil there basic needs in order to get to comfortable enough to focus on their psychological requirements. Once, that is met, they can move on to self actualization. This is when a person feels fulfil and often start helping others with their needs.

However, all that cannot take place unless you are in control of your life. In order to be in control of your life, you would actually need to meet your basic needs. How does it all relate to business and consumer behavior? With more people out of jobs and low government help, businesses will have a hard time selling. Consumer behavior will slow down. Hence, slow sales meaing businesses would have to shut down.

Now, anser this for me, looking at Maslow’s model above, are you meeting your basic needs? Are you secure – job security/extra money saved up for rainy days? Are you spending less in 2021?

If you are struggling then maybe one of my past blogs on expense tracking and savings will guide you to a better financial status this year: Deberah Ho – Expense Tracker For Free

I want you think about all of this and find where you stand on this model. Please, share your thoughts! I would love to hear you out.

Make sure you follow to put a smile on my face! 🙂

Digital Presence is Important

Hello World,

How many of you agree that digital presence is very important in today’s day and age?

If you have an online business or in digital marketing you would agree with me. This is the age of TikTok, in other words, the age of information. Do you know how much you get to learn from TikTok?! If you don’t have it, you just don’t know. Few people think, it’s just a waste of time but, it really depends on what kind of content you are consuming.

I am noticing on TikTok, how the younger generation is staring their own business, their stock portfolios, and multiple sources of incomes. Younger people are more prone to taking risks! It makes me think, what can I do differently, how can I learn and take more calculated risks?!

One more thing I have noticed is the immense exposure, support and value you get from a following. Yes, everyone should be striving to create a following. It is fulfilling when you share your learnings with your followers or even monetize your content. I have came across several brands that make $10,000 dollars in sales just by selling T-shirts, only because they have a following. Yes, that’s just sales and that comes with expenses but, think about it! That can be a second source of income from your current job!

The youth today are much more aware and are more financially literate! I would say, learn more about money and personal finance and take those risks of going for your dreams! Start with no expectations, it will surely be fruitful.

Jealous of Others Money – Wrong Perspective

Hello World,

We have all been in situations where you just find your hardship as unfair. It’s unfair that everything bad is happening to you and not others. It’s unfair that this other person is so much more successful while, I am putting in more work. It’s unfair that this other person has so much money to spend and earning so much more than me and the list of self pity goes on…

Don’t lie, we have all been through that self pitty thought. It takes a certain personal growth to say, what they are doing is their journey and I need to just focus on myself to make the same happen for myself. All of my self pitty thoughts I look back and laugh at! “Why is this happening to me thoughts!”

Story time! This was a long time ago. I was always a hard worker and my mind has always been on my growth, both personally and financially. This was back in highschool when I started a job at a restaurant and my monthly salary was hardly 25K. My friend on the other hand landed a job at a bank for 40K. Back then that was a big deal, no highschool student were getting paid that much. I was always very jealous of her success since, I thought I was putting in a lot of work and I want it more than her. As time went by and our salary also went up. Compared to her I had to work three jobs to earn as much she was earning.

I would always compare and put myself down for no reason. I thought I am putting in work too, why isn’t opportunity coming to me just like it did for her. Then I started telling myself that it was my fault and maybe I lacked certain capabilities to advance.

However, no ones situation stays the same. I failed to realize at that given time, her journey was different from mine and I did not need to compare myself to her. Now I earn well above what she earns. Her financial goals is get to my salary level in 5 years. This is because we lead different lives, have different goals, and have different struggles.

Don’t look at people as competition and compare. Think of them as motivation. Look up to people who are working hard and don’t question their wealth but ask yourself what can you do to get to that level.

As always, thank you for all of your support.

What is your Online Digital Strategy?

Hello World,

I hope everyone is safe and healthy! What a time to live in right now!

Many of the small businesses are struggling and stocks are suffering. The best thing right now is real estate as there is less supply than demand due to low mortgage rate.

As Harvard Business Review reports, “When customers are separated from the work that’s being done behind the scenes to serve them, they appreciate the service less and then they value the service less.” Describe the steps you’re taking to mitigate risk and give them insight into the steps you’re taking to help the community.

That’s why small businesses should think about shifting their business online with a Digital strategy. The next generation has always shopped online. After the lockdown, digital sales have been grown twice.

As a business on a digital platform, you need to focus on consumer demand. First, what is trending, and will you be able to meet the demand due to influx of new consumers buying online.

Please let me know if you shifted your businesses online and what is your digital strategy?
