My 8th Day At Work

Gary unexpectedly arrived at the shop today, so we all had a staff meeting. We spoke about what we think the most important things in life are, the most common answers were: love, fun, career, family and friends. Gary also taught us that an ounce of discipline is worth a tonne of regret.

Me on the phone to customers

After the meeting, i called up some of our existing costumers and checked if everything was okay with their glasses, and to ensure that they weren't having any problems. Mostly everyone was happy with their glasses and didn't have any problems, however someone had dropped their glasses, and broke them, so i advised them to pop in at any time and we would get them fixed as soon as possible.

I then called up ColorClips, and had a walkthrough on how to send an email to themselves. After writing our a step-by-step guide, their program wouldn't load, so Charlie said that we would do that tomorrow instead.

Time management audio

After lunch, i listened to the audiotapes about time management. Time management is important because the key to being successful, is being able to do what a non-successful person would be able to do in a significantly less amount of time. I learnt some valuable lessons, such as:

"One minute of planning saves 5 minutes of execution"

"Success - tonnes of discipline" 

"Being neat makes you a more efficient human being"
                                                         
  "Be early and be relaxed" 

I also learnt a good strategy to self development...

Step back, and look at your work area (desk) or even bag. Think about what type of person would work at this desk, or use this bag. This helps you to analyse yourself, and then better yourself, which is key to self development and personal growth.
