Plan, Do, Check, Act - Cycle

Well the PDCA cycle that we use in the office can very well be applied to our lives. As the supermoms, superwives that we are supposed to be, we run the risk of a breakdown way too soon! So, since i have to bundle my lil daughter up in the morning to leave her at her caretaker's place, i thot of applying management science to my life!I plan today evening's work at home, during office hours! I keep a little diary in my desk. Whenever i can squeeze in a li'l time , i write down chores to be done in it. It has varied notings like waching machine, baby's bag for morning, ironing, dry fruit powder- to be roasted and churned, cheela for evening snacks, sterlising, dusting etc. etc. etc, This li'l diary has been a friend for long,in times of dire need too! This plan diary/ to do diary keeps me on course, for i am so pressed for time, i forget easily. I do the chores as per the diary, check whether my dress, my baby's dress, baby bag, shoes, car keys, home keys, locks are all taken out and ready to be picked up in the morning! Whoa! It sure helps to plan things beforehand. Keep at it, and make this diary a habit! Happy listing!

Fitness Diary- IV

Do you go to pizza hut and start looking for a salad, without a mayonnaise dressing. Well, I did just that! When my family wanted to check out the new pizza in town, I tried to woo them to something healthier, maybe southindian- where I could do with idlis, maybe here, maybe there, but no not pizza hut, when I had spent a good ten mins preening in front of the mirror, marveling at my new waist. Of course, I had just a tiny a slice of pizza later that evening, but it made me realize that I indeed have a strong will power, I took time enjoying my salad which was really nice. It was a mix of exotic vegetables with a predominant oregano and lemon flavor. Only gripe it was a li'l more salty than required. It took me some time to write this particular diary, coz a lot was happening.
