Spending time to do lots of stuff

This few days has been rainy. I haven’t really have a good look at the sun since yesterday! I hate going out at raining day, because my joints pain when raining day coming. Imagine if it happen while I was driving? I did once, just pull over and wait until the joint pain relief. Anyway, once stepping into 2010, my wife already starts warning me about a lot of things that we should accomplish within this year or next few months.

Reading as a habit

Books
Every night, both of us will spend some time reading books we bought weeks back. At the same time, spend some quality time too.

Working at home doesn’t guarantee a good quality time or quantity time too. Since both of us struggling just to make for the end of the month. Of course, flexibility like no others. I am not waiting to go home after lunch, I’m waiting for the tea time after lunch :P

Open the business

License
While we still working like some freelancer, I thought we wouldn’t need the piece that cost time and money. But she insist, so we registered one. Now waiting for business card to be print.

Sometimes, people only give confident on the paper. While most business man in Sibu only give you the confident if you have a Dato’ behind you :( So, the whole business license thing actually come down to… Zero :? Should have listen to my father and give myself a better life…

Improve and more improvement

Smashing book
Since we are working on the web, I ordered the Smashing Book months ago. While I start reading the book, she asked “What is the content about? Technical or those stupid listing again?“. Well, Smashing Book really worth the buying. Not much of design articles, but UI, lots of UI explain, example and etc.

Still, I think 24 hours is not enough, as my entertainment did not count in on all the time I spend at home… Even going outside to have a drink with friends has cut down dramatically :?

I finally reading again

Last few weeks, while my wife and I went to have a walk in Delta Mall, we talked through a lot of thing about works and future planning. However, one thing making us stop at Popular book store though – Discipline.
My books
Ever since we started to work at home, we did not take time on other small but useful stuff like, exercise, spending quality time together, help others at home and the like. Just like some hell busy persons in the world that 24 hours are too less for us.

So we figure we take the first step by giving us a little time at night to read books. Great, so we get some good books at a good price:

I love this quote from the book saying something like:

Lack of direction is the problem not lack of time, we all have 24 hours time a day.

So, did you spend time doing the “small but useful” stuff? How about making it a resolution for this new year? :)
