SydneyHazelton I used to work on a flexible schedule. I had the time to send my daughter to school and exercise after that, before picking her up in the early afternoon. But since I started on full-time work schedule, I had no time to send her to school and I think we were...

Procrastination, and disorganization

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160677) • United States 13 Jan 13

Both rob us of peace of mind and energy and I am so guilty of both. I hope to do better this new year. One magazine says first we need to forgive ourselves for doing it. I am putting off getting ready for work now, so I gotta run....

SydneyHazelton Hi GardenGerty, I'm guilty of procrastination too. But I know that I can't afford to do that this year. I have taken up a second job and I have to ensure that both runs smoothly. The first one requires me to be at work between 7am and 2pm. The second one is...

I feel so lazy today

dolce_vita78 @dolce_vita78 (8062) • Philippines 13 Jan 13

I am not really in the mood for work today (or maybe, just at this very moment). I think it has something to do with the weather. It is cloudy and part of the sky (as I see in the office window) is covered with thick...

SydneyHazelton Dear desertrose, I'm usually very cautious of who I lend money to. Very long ago, a classmate called me to ask me for money. She was crying. I asked what the money was for. It was not reasonable and I said no. Another friend asked me for some money. She was...

SydneyHazelton Hi Devonavis, I'm glad to hear that an artist with just a couple of months of fame has thought about giving back to the society. That's pretty humbling in my opinion. I take my hat off to him for helping the typhoon victims.

SydneyHazelton Hi Tannie, I like your definition of success. It is not related to having loads of money, a huge house, nice cars, glamorous and expensive clothes, etc. Your idea of success is simple, achievable and makes you happy. I'm glad that you have found the...

SydneyHazelton I think that there must be a reason why he is asking for 3 years. Did your cousin ask him? To me, it is not a matter of time, but a matter of what he intends to do with the time given. If he plans to further his studies to get a better job or he is going to...

Advise on how to move on

chiwasaki @chiwasaki (4694) • Philippines 22 Dec 12

I have a friend who asked me some advise on how to move on. She fell in love, got hurt and now wants to completely move on. I have only advised her to sort her feelings first as I think she will not be able to move on if she has...

SydneyHazelton In psychology, they will tell you that she needs to go through various stages of grief before she can so-called "move on". The stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. I believe that everyone grieve differently. Your friend need to...

Charlene Sally C. @PointlessQuestions (15397) • United States 9 Jul 12
