time hacks

July 12, 2018 by mish No Comments

i’m not sure if it’s cos’ i’m organised, or whether it’s cos’ i’m keen to live life to the fullest, but here are some time or productivity hacks that might help others.

my motivation for being efficient is so that i can fit as much into my life as possible.  i don’t like wasting time on unnecessary things!

being an apple lover, below are programs that can be used on a mac (but not exclusively) and iphone apps that i regularly enjoy

  1. facebook i feel is one of those necessary annoying things – i want to know what’s going on when i’m tagged or when someone comments and i want to be involved in some closed groups (which is where i find the most value).. but i don’t want to spend endless amount of time reading my newsfeed.  so i have installed the “facebook newsfeed irradicator“.  although i’ve self imposed a fast from facebook for now so i can concentrate on other work… like starting and writing this blog!
  2. never again waste time getting distracted by ads on your browser!  install the adblock extension on google chrome.  and do the same for youtube ads!
  3. for a faster machine, memory clean clears your memory from those power hungry apps!
  4. don’t search around trying to find that sheet of paper or book where you wrote that password..  save it in password safe (it’s an oldie but a goodie) – so you have all your passwords handy!
  5. to find the best meeting time for a group of people, don’t go through dozens of email trails, just use doodle.
  6. waze is a great alternative to google maps – it enlists the help of other drivers on the road and tells you how to avoid traffic!
  7. shopshop is another old app and works as a no-frills shopping app – everytime i run out of something at home, i add it to this list. saves me time going through every single aisle in the supermarket when i shop!  also, i hacked it to use it as my travel packing guide – and so have a list of regular items of items in another “shopping list” so i don’t forget to pack my toothpaste etc!

that’s my top 7 tips for now.  i save it for another post for some of my favourite finance apps/websites.

if i’ve missed out any other great apps or programs that help you save time, please let me know!

more time = more time to have fun and do cartwheels!  🙂

love. love doesn't mean doing extraordinary or he love.

love doesn't mean doing extraordinary or heroic things. it means knowing how to do ordinary things with tenderness. 
to love someone is to show to them their beauty, their worth and their importance. ~ jean vanier
the way back ~~~~~~~~ i resisted it’s been a lon the way back
~~~~~~~~
i resisted
it’s been a long time since i’d been there
what’s he going to say
what am i going to say
it’s probably going to be awkward

but when i entered
his arms were wide open
right where the door was
almost like he knew i would come back
like he was waiting all along 

i didn’t get to say a word
i just ran to him
and hugged him
tears streaming down my cheeks
i stood there for ages

comfort 
understanding
unconditional love
i knew in an instant he understood
he sees me 

i didn’t have to explain
i didn’t have the words
he just knew
knew more than 
i could even comprehend 

but why was i surprised?
he created me after all
he knows every single hair on my head
he knows my every step
my every thought 

before every thought is formed
any step is taken
he was there
waiting graciously
patiently for me

to come home
to make my way back
into his living arms
all along
he was waiting 

he was there
turns out
the way back 
was the only way
to move forward
serenity. this has been my view over the last two serenity. 
this has been my view over the last two days.  was only planning on stopping one night, but waking up to this was so therapeutic (even though it wasn’t sunny) that i ended up staying here again tonight. 
i always thought i was a beach gal, but i got to say, having a lake side view has been very calming! it’s changed my perception of lake views. 
i’ll definitely be back here again... 

i’m curious - what’s one thing that has surprised u in 2021?

i wonder - could our inability to rest be linked t i wonder - could our inability to rest be linked to our identity? 

i wrote a few thoughts on rest recently and here are some things i’ve been pondering over...

bill johnson said, “busyness is artificial significance.  busyness can make us feel important, but neither our identity or our sense of significance should come from our schedules”
 
don’t be mistaken - it is courageous to give Him space to speak into your life.  it’s brave, to make a deliberate decision not to crowd your life, to deliberately make space. to listen.  to seek Him.  to want to know your maker and creator more intimately. 
 
i don’t know about you, but i think sometimes in my life when i feel overwhelmed, it’s cos’ i have crowded out my life and don’t make space to seek Him and just listen to Him.  or I know what I’m doing isn’t pleasing Him, and I make myself so busy so that I am numb… to everything.. 

here’s a drone shot from today as i spent the day relaxing, chilling and taking it slow on this rainy day! 

i’m curious - especially if u have read to the end of this long post... what do u enjoy doing when u rest?

adventure. it’s in my blood... and every so ofte adventure. it’s in my blood... and every so often, i feel the need to explore this great world, to stir my visual senses... travel to different places, experience new things. 
i find that when i get out of my normal environment, it helps me see things differently, think differently, expand my creativity and come up with new ideas. 
i’m grateful for being able to take time out to slow down. breathe.

new. i sense a change of seasons. a freshness. a new.
i sense a change of seasons. 
a freshness. 
and i’m posting now to remind me of this moment. this feeling. 
now is the time.  i don’t know if i can fully articulate it in words, by every cell in my body senses the change.
finally.
the time is now.
the waiting has passed and i’m declaring a season of fruitfulness, abundance and fullness. 
in the last couple of months but increasing in the last week, i’ve discovered new things about myself, new gifts 🎹, new miracles, new friendships, new communities to embrace, new business, new ideas... at such a phenomenal pace yet with such calm, ease, and flow.  maybe this is the easy yoke i have been pondering over. 
all thanks and to my maker, who creates, provides and sustains everything. 
soli deo gloria

for those of you waiting, i want to say... it was worth the wait. every single second.  cos it tastes all the sweeter knowing the journey it took to get here.
