Stress

Alhamdulillah today I got to do the most essential part of business analyst. Requirement gathering and designing. The documentations, consolidation, note taking etc have been successfully handed over to others. I'm happy. Yes. Essentialist in the motion. But other part of my life, I'm still struggling to keep being an essentialist. Always had to remind myself, hold myself, stricting myself from not being non essentialist. It's hard works. But alhamdulillah, I'm still fighting. For better cause. 

Till the last drop

Alhamdulillah, I realized today. Planning just won't cut it. It the task deadline are still far, I realized that the work never done as planned. Always being pushed to last minute. This is the parkinson's law in play. I thinks I have to change the tactic. I've done exploring, I've done removing the 'noise' and left with most essentials. But.. I didn't plan details enough to ensure smooth execution. I have to plan in details. Until the last steps. All dependencies, obstacles etc must be addressed. Then start to execute and see the plan in motions. Like a clockwork. In another word, till the last drop. 

Sedar diri

Alhamdulillah, it's been a good weekend in melaka. Cik Anah n family came. Also pcik azai, n Mcik Nora's family. Alhamdulillah, we chose to come back on Sunday's night. It was jammed. But not too bad. Alhamdulillah, this morning I am free for a meeting n worksyop. Time to do whatever I have planned n also might be able to plan for my Ess fe and be as well.  Alhamdulillah the orion proj so far so good. Hope it continues like this until the end.  Alhamdulillah, fe n be still manageable even though lately I have neglected it. Now it's time to think, how to manage these as effortless as possible. Please help me Ya Allah. 

Clear the noises

Alhamdulillah, for two days I am on essential eating. I just ate and drink what are essentials for me. No more indulging things without thinking. I felt it much easier. Because instead of thinking what to eat, what to avoid, what to control, I just focus on essentials. I ate modestly, drink modestly and take no snacks, sweet drinks etc coz I don't think it's essential.  Alhamdulillah, I also cleaned up non essentials app on my phone. Not just that, I also cancelled 2 subscriptions. On my works I do the same. Only focus on the most essential works on hand. So far everything works wonderful for me.  Alhamdulillah with essentialist mindset, I also become more honest in saying no. No more say yes to everything. Now I am thinking before agree to anything.  Alhamdulillah, I have conducted a good workshop today. All data presented were the essentials data n in essentials format.  Alhamdulillah esok cuti. Time to enjoy the break. 

Reap what you sow

Alhamdulillah, today's presentation are the smoothest so far. It is due to I have done the work much earlier. No I could see the benefits of Essentialism. Alhamdulillah, after today's workshop, I got to ate lunch at my mom's house. Then afterwards, I got just one more meeting.  Alhamdulillah after the meeting I am able to take a nap. I really need it coz of headache.  Alhamdulillah after a nap, the aircon man came and serviced the aircond. Alhamdulillah the work was good and fast.  Alhamdulillah, I and my wife have finished the puzzle. Great. A good day so far. 

alhamdulillah

Alhamdulillah today I really got a nice rest. We just sat at home, relaxing. I complete the puzzle and my wife playing game on ps4. Alhamdulillah, the weather was so cold. It was raining all day. I've got one the best afternoon nap. Alhamdulillah I am thinking a lot of Essentialism. Hopefully I can execute it with ease this coming weeks. 

Happy weekend

Alhamdulillah, I've got a lot of sleep last night. More or less 8 hours of sleep. I can feel that my body have been recharged fully. Alhamdulillah, met my old friend from my ex company today. We sent him a cake that he ordered last night. He noticed that I am getting fatter than before. Haha.  Alhamdulillah, today I and my family got to spend some time together at mitsui. I felt happy today. Not just that, my sister also came together with her husband n son. We spent time together eating, talking. The children also were happy playing together.  Alhamdulillah. I think despite my feeling about essentialist not so good yesterday, today I think it's a bit different. I think about it a lot. Just maybe because I am still learning an adjusting. So that's why I felt overwhelmed.
