Some people call a vision board a dream board, while some say there are different, in a sense, long term goals (dream board) and short term goals (vision board). But basically they are the same. It’s like, when we work in the corporate world, we have long term plans and short term plans. And then respective activities to achieve that. It’s just like that but for the individual level. Basically what you do is, pick areas of your life that you want to improve. Like below: Health - get healthier, reduce or increase weight, buy a home gym. Wealth -home or car or money Spiritual - improve mindfulness or meditation Relationship -improve your relationship with people who matters to you or community Love -love self, family or looking for better half or marry for singles Career - publish a book or own a business or climb that 9-5 ladder Hobbies - read, volunteer, gardening Travel/fulfillment goal - who doesn't like traveling? I don’t think there will be any VB without travel. ...

In Mid 2019, me and my husband were one among the pool of families looking to buy their first home and feeling lucky. We were of the general impression that having a house to call our home would not only give us a good return in future when we resell it but also a sense of ownership and freedom to do anything to our house. Fast forward September 2019, we moved into our first home. We were in so much rush that we didn't really do much research or price negotiation. For us, only conditions we had were, close to school, small enough to manage, close to public amenities and safe for a family to live.  Once we moved in, we started noticing issues with many things around the house. As a result, additional expenses we had never anticipated. We were aware of city fees and water bills in addition to mortgage. However, little did we know, that buying a house means we were buying into many additional non-stop things to do and change. We can easily say that is one's own choice bu...

I have been working from home since September 2019 and have never looked back since then. The reason why I am able to say that is because of the many advantages that I enjoyed so far and continue to enjoy. The latest thank god moment being, comparison of work from home with my husband who works 9-5 jobs. Because of the current situation, my husband is also working from home. However, It is not a tiny bit the same. Even though he is working from home, he doesn’t have the luxury of attending to any household chores. He is stuck at his computer all day long. Half the time he will be in the virtual real-time meetings and the rest of the time talking to colleagues through their office network (Yammer) and still have to be able to fill up a full day’s work in their timesheet. What has changed for him? Just the physical environment, and yes that working in PJ, otherwise, rest remains the same for him. On the contrary, I could work around my household chores, make my girls do school work whil...

Ever Since this broke in November 2019, it has started growing worse every passing day in front of our eyes. Following news and press cover for a count of new cases and casualties from different countries like one would do in case of Olympic medal result. The more you watch these media coverage, the more you \ become stressed out and want to give up going out altogether.  Then, you put off your TV/Social Media news channel and come to your real life, you reflect on the current situation, reflect on government’s advice and instruction, and think about your own situation. The past 4 months are literally gone doing this in an endless loop. Following every instruction such as proper handwashing, social distancing and eating healthy were doable, however, coming to giving up your job was one heavily discussed issue.  For people who work for an industry that has a possibility of working remotely from home is bliss. The same is also for people who have a full time permanent ...
