Ssst..it’s personal!

Pas kapaaaaan gitu gw nonton salah satu acaranya Bu Oprah (tau kan oprah?ooohhh..tau jg toh..bagoooeesss). Inti dari acara itu, Bu Oprah ngajak ibu2 dan mbak2 yang lain buat mengorganisir kehidupan. Ada acara yang paling seru tuh, yaitu me-make over rumah yang berantakan abiiieeessss menjadi indah cemerlang dengan bantuan para ahli organizer.

(kl dipikir2..di Indonesia ada ahli organizer gt ga sih? Bukan, bukan wedding organizer ato event organizer gitu..tapi bener2 organizer yang organize semua bagian kehidupan kita.)

So anyway, gw dapet hikmah tuh setelah nonton acaranya si ibu tadi, yaitu : gw harus mulai mengorganisir kehidupan! Tapi mulai dr mana???

*ting*ting* (ini bunyi yg keluar dari otak gw kl gw punya ide)

..

Setelah dapet wejangan dari Bu Oprah, gw minta bantuan Oom Google buat cariin kata kunci : “Organize”. Waaaahhh..tenyata semua websitenya dalam bahasa inggris! (ya iya lah..)Hahhhh…Bodohnya…gw pencet tombol “Web” tadi. Pantesan oom googlenya jadi uncle google (hmmmm…..ga bermutu lelucon gw T.T)

Anyway..Akhirnya gw pencet tombol “halaman dari indonesia” dan berharap menemukan website yang indonesian-friendly. Ternyata keluarnya malah wedding orginizer. Jadi males deh..gw balik lagi dari oom google ke uncle google..

Trus dari bantuan si uncle google, gw mendapat ilmu..

Gw mo bagi2 ilmunya ni :

Finding Balance at Work

Debbie Tebbe
Organized Happy Helpe

Feel overwhelmed with so much to do and not enough time to get it all done? (Yup…) So many times, I have gone to work starting at 8:00 a.m. and ending sometimes well after 5:00 p.m. (Same here..)and felt that I have been married to my job(Hmm..well NOT married though :p ).  I am sure you can relate.  The stress comes especially when your employer is downsizing that may increase your workload; give you additional overtime and added stress!  In this article you will find eight makeover tips to help you find balance at work. (Wow!)

1^st Makeover – Do not be married to your job!  Try to go home at a reasonable hour and get a life when you are home.  Join a charitable organization to volunteer your time a couple of hours per month and help people who are in need.  Helping others makes you feel good about yourself. (bla..bla..bla..terusannya baca sendiri ya, gw cuma ambil yang penting2 ajah.) Jadi Intinya jangan pernah menikah dengan kerjaan lo..hwehehe.. maksudnya, cari kehidupan lain dong dari pada kerjaan!

Are you so busy at work that cleaning out your desk or the top of it can be very time consuming and it is always the last to be done?(Hahaha..tau aje mpok..)

2^nd Makeover – At the end of the day, clean your desk with Clorox Towelettes to disinfect your phone and all the items on the desk.  Also, wipe clean the front of the desk, cabinets and everything in your cube or office.  Bring in a small silk flower arrangement, live plant, pictures, posters, nick knacks to brighten up your cube to make it feel more like home and give it a happy environment.  Order color file folders and reorganize your filing cabinet to clean out the old clutter and make it more exciting to file.Intinya sih, perindahlah ruangan n meja mu. besok beli tanaman palsu aja kali ya buat ditaro di meja.hihihi..(Hmm..ide bagus, tapi kl dah males mulainya gmn ya?)

Do you sometimes feel that your in a rut and do not want to go to work by the way you are dressed?(Ya kl emang semua baju yang matching pada belum dicuci sih begitu biasanya)

3^rd Makeover – The saying “Dress for Success” is a true statement.  If you are wearing an outfit that makes you look and feel good about yourself, it does give you the confidence you need.  Go through your closet, pick out clothes, mix and match outfits that go together.  Go shopping (I love shopping!) and buy a new top, skirt or slacks that would match some of the other tops or pants you already have at home.  Buy a new pair of shoes of another color (I love that too!)with a matching belt that can be worn with the clothes you already have.  By adding another accent color, it gives the outfit a whole new look.

Do you look in the mirror and say to yourself, I look ugly and old?  My skin is dull, colorless and unattractive.(No..im always cute and pretty.hahahaha…tapi ga pa pa, buat kalian yang merasa jelek dan tua, gw bagi aja ilmunya.)

4^th Makeover – Treat your self to a facial at a spa. Intiya, kita mesti Spa. (Terusannya baca sendiri yah di website tadi..)

What about your hair, are you getting grey, need a new hairdo or color?  Are you interested in shaping your eyebrows? (Pake jilbab mbak..)

5^th Makeover – Browse through hair magazines and find the hairdo that you always wanted but were afraid to go for it.  Look for a color that matches your skin tone and get highlights to bring out the sun in your hair.  Try to go to another stylist (owner preferably) and tell them that you want a new make over, what color or hairstyle would look good on me? (bla..bla..) Intinya lagi, kita disuruh ngubah gaya rambut ngikutin mode di majalah ato pake stylist.

Are your nails looking stubby, polish is always coming off, nails chipped and unattractive to look at when handling paper at work? (Well i never thought my nails were THAT ugly..but…bolehlah..hihi)

6^th Makeover – If you cannot afford to get acrylic nails (arcylic nails?? cari dimane tuh…?)done every two weeks, there are beauty school salons that give terrific offers. (baca sendiri ya terusannya.males gw *did i mention im lazy number one?*)

Do you feel achy, your back is so tense that it is hard as a brick, getting headaches and feeling blah? (Very!!)

7^th Makeover – Treat yourself to a massage. Katanya kita disuruh pijet. Pake kursi yang 15 menit Rp5000,- boleh juga.hehehe..(Haaaaahh…mau!)

Need energy and want to get healthy? Get up and get going! (Very!! again!)

8^th Makeover – Most everyone has to force themselves to exercise and I am one of them.  It takes all that I have to go to the gym, but when I come home, I feel terrific. (Ga mau terjemahin ah, ga ada kata exercise sama gym di kamus gw! *udah pasti gw hapus!!!! Remember im lazy number one!*)

If you have flextime and can eat at your desk and then workout, it does not get any better than that.  You can work out and if that exceeds your lunch hour work an extra half hour at the end of the day or skip lunch the next day and eat at your desk. (Ga mau terjemahin juga…)

Sometimes we do for everyone else, children, spouse and we are the last ones to think about ourselves.  Well it is your turn to pamper yourself occasionally.  You work hard at work and need to reward your self occasionally or the rut syndrome and depression can set in.(Iya, betul sekali!) Intinya lagi, kita disuruh memanjakan diri bo setelah capek2 kerja. take time for it..

It does not take a lot of money to make you look and feel great.  Start with one makeover at a time and work down the list.  You will see that you deserve it and if it makes a difference in your life and makes you happy then I say go for it! (Thank You!)
