5 Time Saving Tips

August 17th, 2008 No comments

1. Do certain things fewer times

Things that can be done less or things that can be done once instead of twice are those things that will help us save a lot of time. Clean your house once every ten days instead of every 7 days – you can do that, it’s normal and the house won’t get dirty in those three extra days.

Make a work report every six week not every four weeks if possible.

Keep meetings to inform yourself on ongoing projects twice a month not every week. And the list of things that can be done fewer times can go on forever.

2. Compete with yourself!

Watch the clock and settle to finish an activity by a certain hour. Focus, get rod of anything that could distract you and work more efficiently.

3. Ask more out of 15 minutes.

Can you find 15 minutes a day that you could use more efficiently? Is there lost time in your activities? Or maybe a less important activity you can give up on? If you manage to save 15 minutes every day, you will win in fact 91 hours every year!

4. Do a list of little activities that don’t take you more than a couple of minutes.

Of course, we usually want to deal with the important problems first. But when we feel tired, stressed, in a bad mood, we find it hard to concentrate and we lose our time forcing ourselves. A list of simple activities will help you finalize something and push up your productivity. And obviously it is always better to know you did something, even is it is small, than to realize you haven’t even started anything.

5. Work on a certain project over a certain period of time.

Rather than to try and finalize an activity at once, it is better to tell yourself: “ I will work on this for 15 minutes and see how much I can get done during this interval”. Focus and try to do all you can during those 15 minutes. This is an excellent advice to solve problems or projects you avoided lately.

Body Mass Index (BMI) – Count it Yourself

August 12th, 2008 6 comments

Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both adult men and women. Body mass index (BMI) may be accurately calculated using the formulas below.

\mathrm{BMI} = \frac{\mathit{weight} \ \mathrm{(kg)}}{\mathit{height}^2 (\mathrm{m^2})}

Category BMI range – kg/m2 BMI Prime Mass of a 1.8 metres (5 ft 11 in) person with this BMI
Severely underweight less than 16.5 less than 0.60 under 53.5 kilograms (8.42 st/118 lb)
Underweight from 16.5 to 18.5 from 0.6 to 0.74 from 53.5 and 60 kilograms (8.42 and 9.45 st/118 and 132 lb)
Normal from 18.5 to 25 from 0.74 to 1.0 from 60 and 81 kilograms (9.4 and 13 st/130 and 180 lb)
Overweight from 25 to 30 from 1.0 to 1.2 from 81 and 97 kilograms (12.8 and 15.3 st/180 and 210 lb)
Obese Class I from 30 to 35 from 1.2 to 1.4 from 97 and 113 kilograms (15.3 and 17.8 st/210 and 250 lb)
Obese Class II from 35 to 40 from 1.4 to 1.6 from 113 and 130 kilograms (17.8 and 20.5 st/250 and 290 lb)
Obese Class III above 40 above 1.6 above 130 kilograms (20 st/290 lb)
