[www.keralites.net] Agenda for an efficient meeting

 

In the workplace, time is of the essence, and meetings can be the ultimate timewaster. How can you avoid wasting time and run the most efficient meetings possible?

Try these tips
- Start and finish the meeting on time. If there's more to consider, plan the appropriate follow-up actions or schedule another meeting.
- At the close of the meeting, ask if participants are comfortable with the outcomes.
- Make sure all meeting participants know that you expect them to be on time and prepared to discuss their agenda items.
- Encourage everyone to speak up. Quieter people may have valuable contributions, but they may need some encouragement to share them.
- Provide a detailed agenda for each meeting. It should include topics for and the purpose of discussion, as well as a discussion leader and time allotment for each topic. Distribute the agenda a couple of days before the meeting so that meeting participants have time to prepare.
- Assign someone to take notes in each meeting. That way, decisions and follow-up action items are documented and can be circulated to the meeting's participants.
- Determine which meetings are really necessary. If the objective of a meeting is to simply update others about ongoing projects, it might make more sense to send a memo or group e-mail, or to post the information on your company's computer network. However, for in-depth discussions, meetings generally work best.

[www.keralites.net] positive lines full of energy

 

You're only a moment away from being more positive and
effective than you've ever been. You're only a moment away
from living life at its highest level. The only thing holding you back is your choice to keep
yourself back. That's a choice you can change right now.

You've gone long enough evading and avoiding your best
possibilities. Now it's time to accept that you're
absolutely worthy of the rich, fulfilling life you truly
desire.

That life can begin to be yours right now. That life can
start the moment you decide to stop hiding from the unique
beauty of who you truly are.

Yes, it will take effort, determination, faith, commitment
and discipline. And every moment of it will be infused with
the irreplaceable joy of knowing you're being true to your
own highest destiny.

Go ahead, from where you are, with what you have, and choose
to be an active participant in the unfolding of your best
possibilities. This is your life, this is your day, and this
is when the magic begins.

Ralph Marston

[www.keralites.net] USEFUL TIPS

 

An apple to make tomatoes ripen

If you're tired of waiting and would like to make your tomatoes ripe in half the time, put them in a bowl with an apple or two, and cover them up with plastic wrap.

Beans for wax

fill up the candle house with a layer of raw beans. It's not only a nice decoration, but the beans will also keep the candle steady and capture the wax drops.

Toothpick on scotch tape

Mark the end of the scotch tape by rolling it up with a toothpick at the end.

Orange Peel to conserve moisture

Keep the moisture and softness of brown sugar and prevent it from become rough lumps by adding a long and narrow orange peeling into the sugar vessel.

Coffee filter to clean dust

Clean dust from the computer and television screen using a coffee filter. You won't even have to get it wet to use it!

Paper cloth to clean the shower doors

Remove insistent soap accumulation from the shower's glass doors by spraying a little water on a paper cloth, the kind used for the dryer and cleaning doors.

Eggshells to clean narrow places

Use a hard boiled eggshell to clean the hard to reach areas of bottles, jars and vases. Throw a few pieces of shell in the object, add hot water and a little bit of dish soap, and stir it well. The shells will scrape off that hard-to-reach dirt.

Pillow cover to clean the ceiling fan.

Slip an old pillow cover on the blades of the ceiling fan and then pull it backwards quickly to draw all the dust and dirt into it, without dropping them all over the floor.

Ginger to deal with pain

Calm down blisters and burns by swatting some fresh ginger juice on the aching spot

Lemon to clean a grater

After you've grated soft cheese or other sticky foods, use half a lemon to get rid of the leftovers. Just use the soft side of the lemon on both sides of the grater and you'll see how easily it becomes clean again.

Nailpolish to fix a loose button

Smear a thin layer of transparent nailpolish on the center of the loose button, it will harden and keep it from falling.

Onion to get rid of the scent of mildew

Air out the smell of mildew from the basement or the tool shed with onions. Cut an onion in half, put half of it on a plate and leave it in the room for the night. The morning after, the air in the room will be cleaner and you won't even smell the onion!

Vinegar and salt against the smell of onion

However, you might be concerned of having that pesky scent of onions on your hands. A combination of vinegar and salt neutralizes the smell of onions. Mix the two materials and pour this on your hands to rub together until the scent is gone. Then wash with soap.

.

Pumice to clean a sweater

Take a rough pumice and gently rub it on any thick sweaters to get rid of little fibers and other junk.

Empty bottle to stabalize boots

Use empty wine bottles to keep tall leather boots stable, so they don't lose their shape in storage.
