Just recently I took on a project that had me working weekends, something I do not recommend doing if you’re serious about looking after your health. I was cooped up in my house, slaving away on my computer while the rest of the world was having a life. After four weekends of this, I got […]

We all know that it’s hard to keep your cool when you’re juggling several ongoing tasks and trying to manage yours and everyone else’s schedule. Somedays, your positivity can really take a beating, especially when your tired. That can make even the best of us really cranky and can even affect your health. No doubt […]

To all the Executive Assistants and Virtual Assistants out there, put your hands up in the air! We salute you. You keep the world organised. If it weren’t for you, countries will fall into chaos, kingdoms will fall, and all will descend into an unorganised pile of papers and unscheduled meetings. This is for the […]

How many resumes have you sent out listing “great multitasker” as one of your important work skills? A lot, I bet. While the ability to multitask is something to be proud of, it doesn’t really translate to being a productive trait. We’ve all come to accept that the ability to multitask is an ideal business […]

January is over. That’s one out of twelve months being done and over with. Some of us may have taken extended vacations, and some (actually, most) of us have probably gone right back to work after the holidays. January is like one giant Monday when we dread coming back from the holiday break. Hopefully, by […]

Motivation is a very important factor in all things we do. It is weird because it works differently for different people. Sometimes it is a switch that (extremely) lucky people can just turn on or off. For the rest of us, it is a snowball that has to be built in order to gain momentum. […]

Recently, I have heard news about a video circulating that had very disturbing content. It was a rockstar who streamed his own death on Facebook live. I had the good sense not to search for or watch the video because, seriously, that is the decent thing to do. It is the way we show our […]

How were our first few weeks at work? I know we’re still not over the holidays and our sleep cycles are still in vacation mode from all the partying done during the holiday season. I’m sure some of you have vowed to make 2019 your most productive year ever. How about we start by taking […]

The holiday season is over and we’re all guilty of eating too much during the half month long festivities. There’s the mandatory Christmas Dinner with friends and family, there are the New Year cocktails, and then lots of pocket celebrations in between. Now that eating season is finally over, it’s a bit hard to go […]

We at The Help have a continuing tradition of gift giving which we’ve started in 2013. We launch this program close to or during the holidays to be able to share with our community all the abundant blessings that we are ever so grateful for. Not only do we have a gift-giving program, we have […]

The holidays are upon us. We haven’t slowed down one bit since Halloween. First came the costume planning and candy buying. In the aftermath of all the Halloween festivities, we’ve been busy preparing for Thanksgiving, planning dinner and seating arrangements. And now, it’s almost Christmas! Christmas time is a time for festivities. It is also […]

Anxiety is defined as the feeling of unease brought about by worry or fear. Everyone experiences it at some point in their lives and it can range from mild to severe. It can be caused by a lot of things, everyday worries such as worrying over a presentation or test, not having enough money to […]

It’s the last month of 2018 and we’re all winding down for the year. In the last few weeks of 2018, we’re all starting to get into the holiday’s mindset, planning food, making travel arrangements, and wrapping gifts. Hopefully, we’ve added a few new things to our arsenal of knowledge and experiences, met new people, […]

The holidays are near…so near..oh wait, it’s here! Would you look at that? Not so long ago we’ve been vowing all over social media that 2018 will be our year. Now, it’s almost over – just one more month to go and we’ll be declaring 2019 to be our year. December is a bonus month. […]

Last week, we talked about some activities or things that you can evaluate closely to see if they are unnecessary expenses that you can stop spending on. Let’s take a look at the same ones from last week to see what we can do to save money. Eating out One of the money leaks I […]
