HOW TO MANAGE TIME

Assalamualakum and hello to all blogger. My next post is about time.This time i want to share to all blogger how to manage time.Maybe some of you have problem to manage your time.So this some of tips to solve your problem.Hope you all enjoy your reading.

These days, time seems to be at a premium. We have devices that keep us constantly connected with work, with friends and family, and sometimes even with complete strangers. As a result, it's easy to get distracted. If you're like most of us, you have a lot to accomplish. We'll show you a great way to do just that!

EditSteps

1. 1
   Make a list of the tasks you need to accomplish. Before you can manage your time, you need to know what it is you must manage. A list of tasks, from the mundane to the critical, will help you get a handle on what needs to get done.
   
   
   • Assign realistic priorities to each task:
     • Priority 1: due today or tomorrow
     • Priority 2: due in one week
     • Priority 3: due in one month
     • Priority 4: due next year
   • You can further prioritize tasks within this grouping by adding a decimal place. For example, a Priority 1.0 task needs to be done immediately, whereas a Priority 1.5 task simply needs to be done by the end of day.
2. 2
   Balance your effort. Work on small portions every day, starting with the most important tasks first.
   • Do the daily tasks. Concentrate on what is at hand, then move on to the next daily task. Once daily tasks are completed, mark them as such, and proceed to weekly tasks.
   • When the weekly tasks are complete, work on the monthly tasks, and when those are complete, work on the yearly tasks.
   • Make one of your final daily tasks the completion of tomorrow's task list.
3. 3
   Focus on your most productive time of day. Some people work better in the morning, and some are more focused in the evening.
4. 4
   Manage time in increments. Play a game with yourself by competing against the clock.
   • Work in fifteen minute, half hour or hour intervals.
   • Give yourself a time goal to complete a portion of a task or the entire task.
5. 5
   Take a break. Clear your mind and refresh yourself to refocus.
   • Decide beforehand on a 5, 10 or 15 minute break and stick to that decision.
   • Breaks provide incentive by giving you something to look forward to.
6. 6
   Keep track of your progress.
   • Cross things off the list as they are completed.
   • You'll feel more relieved and relaxed just by getting through the daily tasks. Not only will you be getting things done, finishing tasks will give you a sense of accomplishment and spur motivation.
7. 7
   Reassess the list. Rewrite and prioritize your list on a regular basis.
   • Add new tasks to the list. This should be done on a daily basis, especially when you are just getting started with a time management regimen.
   • Eliminate or adjust tasks that are completed, or fall in priority.
   • Delegate tasks to others. Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to do it all. You can be much more effective if you can delegate tasks as necessary.
   • Use technology to complete tasks more quickly, efficiently or accurately. Today's mobile technology features dozens, if not hundreds of apps that will help you manage—and even accomplish—your tasks efficiently.
8. 8
   Leave time for fun.
9. While there are times when we just need to power through a large project, it's important to give yourself time to let loose. Not only will it refresh your mind, it's good for your body, too. It doesn't have to be a lot of time but make sure that you do!
10. 9
    Sleep for 6-8 hours every night. 
11. Getting the proper amount of sleep will help keep you alert and energetic, able to think clearly, and function at a high level.

UNHEALTHY FOOD

Assalamualaikum and hello to blogger...this time i want to share to all blogger about unhealthy food..  Many people dont even care about what they eat.  They eat whatever they want.  So today i want to share about unhealthy food to all blogger.  So next time, think first before you take your meal.Unhealthy or Junk food is an informal term applied to some foods that are perceived to have little or no nutritional value (i.e. containing "empty calories"); to products with nutritional value, but also have ingredients considered unhealthy when regularly eaten; or to those considered unhealthy to consume at all. 

Junk foods are typically ready-to-eat convenience foods containing high levels of saturated and / or trans fats, salt, or sugar, and little or no fruit, vegetables, or dietary fiber; and are considered to have little or no health benefits. Common junk foods include salted snack foods like chips (crisps), candy, gum, most sweet desserts, fried fast food and carbonated beverages (sodas) as well as alcoholic beverages. High-sugar cereals, particularly those targeted at children, such as Fruit candies, are also classified as junk food.

Junk food consumption alters brain activity in a manner similar to addictive drugs. After many weeks on a junk food diet, the pleasure centers of our brains become desensitized, requiring more of the junk food for pleasure.

Junk or unhealthy fast foods have become a part of our busy lifestyle. Fast food restaurants are popular because they serve filling foods that taste good and are not that heavy on pockets. However, the reason for the fast foods being cheap can be subjected to the use of cheaper ingredients such as high fat meat, refined grains, and added sugar and fats, instead of nutritious foods such as lean meats, fresh fruits, and vegetables.

Fast foods are not completely bad but eating too much over a long period of time can lead to several health problems. The constant stress of missing nutrients, food additives, environmental pollutants, and pesticides will eventually take its toll and the end result would be premature aging, disease, and other health problems. Research shows that most modern killer diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer are definitely related to your diet and lifestyle.

Foods are considered "Unhealthy foods" if they:
• Provide empty calories – typically all fried and sweetened foods 
• Don't have enough fiber – all bakery and processed foods which are made of refined products.
• Take nutrients from your body and leave you more nutritionally deficient than before you ate them – caffeinated or carbonated drinks that draws calcium from bone.
• Do damage to your body in one or more ways – foods containing hydrogenated fat like margarine, that converts to trans fat after being heated to a high temperature or re-used, is the culprit for causing obesity, hypertension and heart diseases.
Unhealthy Foods to Avoid include canned soups, baked products, refined cereal meals, donuts, vegetable and non-veg fries, fatty and fried snacks, Genetically Modified Foods, hydrogenated fats and Trans-fats, ice cream and frozen desserts, processed and refined foods, processed cheese products, sausages, hot dogs, cured meats, and luncheon meats, soda pop and other artificial beverages, etc.

Negative effects of consuming fast food: 
• Consumption of extra calories much more than the daily recommended quantity due to deep frying of the foods or use of fatty dressings or toppings and also for the heavy portion size being consumed may ultimately lead to obesity and other lifestyle diseases.
• Presence of saturated and trans fat in foods like fries, cheese, mayonnaise, etc poses great threat on our heart health and cholesterol profile.
• Use of sugar and sodium as salt or other additive in excess may give a risk of high blood pressure or high blood sugar. 
• Fast foods generally lack fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains and hence are deficient in vitamins and minerals thereby affecting our immunity and endurance to fight lifestyle diseases.
• Additives are used liberally in the fast foods to enhance the appearance, texture, flavor and palatability of these foods. But some additives might prove extremely harmful. For instance mono-sodium glutamate, commonly known as ajinomoto, used as flavoring for Chinese recipes is considered carcinogenic.
Fast food costs relatively little and tastes good, but the negative effects on physical health last much longer than these immediate concerns. It's helpful to remember that with fast food, moderation is important and if you're having fast food more than once a week, try to make healthier choices.

Here are some tips for avoiding unhealthy foods: 
• Plan ahead for each day so that your menu is nutritious and you get time for its preparation in advance and avoid hanging on unhealthy foods.
• Pack your lunches the night before rather than waiting until you're already behind schedule in the morning.
• Avoid fatty and highly salted toppings.
• Choose oil-based dressings instead of creamy salad dressings.
• Use mustard or ketchup instead of mayonnaise.
• When ordering pizza, add veggies instead of meat, and get thin crust instead of deep dish.
• Top your sandwiches with veggies such as onions, lettuce, and tomatoes instead of red meat or extra cheese.
• Avoid using salt shaker.
• Choose foods that are broiled, steamed or grilled over fried.
• Choose clear veggie soups over cream based. 
• Avoid choosing dishes labeled deep-fried, pan-fried, creamy or crispy as they are usually high in calories, unhealthy fats or sodium.
• Practice portion control by ordering small entrée portions. 
• Don’t get lured of attractive deals on combos or box meals. Even if a fast food restaurant uses healthy ingredients, they still usually give you a lot more food than you need and eating too much of any kind of food can lead to weight gain. 
• Have a salad or soup instead of fries.
• Choose water, low-fat milk, or diet sodas instead of regular sodas, fruit drinks, milkshakes, or whole milk which can be a huge source of hidden calories and sugar.
• Instead of a slice of pie or cookie for dessert try fruit and yogurt.
• Enjoy your meal by relishing every bite. Though the fast food is known as a meal on the go, the distraction of driving or working may curtail you from paying attention to the quantity of food you are having and you may over eat. 
• Never shop on an empty stomach.
• Try to satisfy your hunger pranks or cravings with the healthy snacks like fruits or whole grain cereal bars.
• Use a search engine to get free nutrition information online so that you may preview your menu choice and modify it to a healthier choice.
Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon. ~Doug Larson

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Assalamualaikum,and hello against to all blogger.for the next article is about the public transport in Malaysia.public transport commonly use for people to move from one place to another.they are many benefit by using this service because it is more economical and good for earth.So in this article i would write about some of the public transport that commonly use in Malaysia.

Train

The train network in Malaysia can be split into two types of service—the inter city, countrywide, traditional KTMB rail network and the inner city, light rail transit networks. While the KTMB service serves the entire country, travelling between major cities and also up into Thailand, trains can be old, slow and, ultimately, an uncomfortable way to travel the breadth of the country.

Nevertheless, the service is well priced and some locals favour this method over the road transit alternatives. In contrast, KL’s LRT, Monorail and (hopefully) Penang’s planned rail services are fast, clean, cheap and very well used. Providing you are close to a station, they are perhaps the best way to commute around the city.

The Putra LRT network, run by RapidKL, serves 48 stations across the Klang Valley. Even the longest single journey will cost less than RM3 and travellers can use prepaid Touch ‘n Go cards to pay the fare. Alternatively, daily travel cards can be bought for RM7 and allow travel throughout the Klang Valley on all RapidKL affiliated services (including buses and trains).

Also in the Klang Valley, the KLIA Express has been a fantastic success, transporting travellers to and fro KL city centre and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The journey costs just RM35 one way (RM15 for children) and takes 28 minutes from station to station (KL Sentral–KLIA–KL Sentral). Malaysia Airlines also have a check-in counter at KL Sentral allowing travellers to check in for their flight before even arriving at the airport.

Buses
For travel between Singapore, KL and Penang, the coach services in Malaysia are difficult to beat. Air travel is considerably more expensive, trains considerably slower and driving, more tiring. As such, it’s a popular choice for many locals and expatriates as well (undoubtedly though, for business commuting, flying is the favoured option). Fares are well priced at roughly RM 50 – RM 60 for KL–Penang and just under RM 100 for luxury coaches from KL–Singapore.

The best services also provide food, drink and entertainments for the journey. A word of warning though: buying tickets in Malaysia works out much cheaper than buying them in Singapore. Therefore, if travelling from KL to Singapore and back again, make sure to purchase a return ticket from the Malaysian side. Long-haul coaches run throughout the week and several departures on the popular routes are offered by the larger companies each day.

Buses in town, however, are slightly less predictable and more confusing to navigate. For visitors, the Hop On, Hop Off buses run throughout the day between the tourist hotspots and have proved to be an excellent way to see the main sites. Tickets cost RM38 for 24 hours and RM65 for 48 hours (discounts are also available for children, students, the disabled and for Malaysian MyKad holders—check the website, www.myhoponhopoff.com for more details).

The service, as its name suggests, runs on a convenient hop on, hop off at your leisure and will basis. Buses also offer pre-recorded commentary and tours in eight different languages and stop at 22 designated stops around the city.

Besides the Hop On, Hop Off service in KL, the RapidKL buses, if you can get past the language barrier and find a suitable bus for you also offer reasonable value for money. For ease-of-use and speed, though, it pales in comparison to the rail services.

In Penang, the RapidPenang bus service, a subsidiary of RapidKL, runs relatively new buses across the island, serving the main areas of interest in Georgetown, the residential areas of Tanjung Baru and Batu Ferringhi and further afield for the airport and the west of Penang. Introduced in 2007, the RapidPenang service, though left untouched by many expatriates, can actually be a sensible option for getting around the small island.

Melaka’s services too have been vastly improved over the last few years with the introduction of Melaka Sentral—the historic city’s version of the capital’s central transport hub, KL Sentral. Though it features no access to trains, the hub serves as the central port for both city buses and long-distance coaches.

In Sabah, the central bus terminal is found in Kota Kinabalu. From the Kota Kinabalu North Terminal, buses are available to other major cities in the state and regular, though rather confusing and sporadic, services run across the city. The public bus services in Sarawak, however, are even more unreliable. Mostly without air-conditioning and no clear indication of stops and destinations, the public buses are best left to those with a better understanding of the system and its irregularities. Tourist buses do run to the popular tourist areas though and can be a cheap and relatively comfortable way to get around.

Taxis
Taxis are oft maligned in Malaysia, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Drivers are well-versed in the city geography and will be able to find ingenious shortcuts when the inevitable traffic builds up. Also, the recent government ruling that increased the (still minimal) base taxi fare to RM3 has seen an improvement in services and a decrease in the number of taxis attempting to run meter-less. Even with this rise in fare, Malaysian taxis are among the cheapest in the world.

Popular residential, tourist, business and entertainment districts all over Malaysia are well served and hailing a cab, providing there are no marked taxi ranks nearby is as simple as waving one down on the street. Where marked ranks do exist, though, it’s advisable (and in some places, essential) to use them.

It is compulsory for taxi drivers to use their built-in meter to calculate the fare. Flag-off fare is RM3 with an additional 10 cents for every 115 meters thereafter. For taxis, caught in a traffic jam, the fare will be RM3 for the first three minutes and 10 cents for every subsequent 21 seconds. To avoid an unpleasant experiences, avoid taxi touts and always insist on using the meter.

Passengers will also have to bear the cost of actual road toll charges, surcharges for telephone bookings and additional passengers and baggage stored in the boot. Journeys taken between midnight and 6am are usually subject to a 50 per cent additional night time charge. Premium taxis are also available especially at airports, shopping malls and hotels at a slightly higher rate.

NOISE POLLUTION

Assalamualaikum,and hello to all blogger.this is my third article.for this article i would like to share about noise pollution,this type of pollution were mostly have lack of intention from others.Also many people don't even know what is noise pollution.so this article would give some of information about this type of pollution.  

Like any other form of pollution noise pollution is also bad for both our environment as well as our health.  Noise pollution refers to any form of disruptive noise that has the ability to disrupt the normal functioning of certain ecosystem or certain human community.

Our vehicles are the main source of noise pollution in the world. Ever increasing road-traffic in urban areas has already led to excessive levels of noise pollution in many cities of the world.

In one of their recent statements The World Health Organization categorized environmental noise as the source of harmful pollution, with negative psychosocial and physiological effects on human health. For instance, exposure to noise pollution at night can decrease our sleep quality and increase the feeling of morning tiredness and insomnia, affecting our overall productivity for the next day(s).

Many people that live in urban areas are exposed to high levels of noise pollution which in some cases leads to severe annoyance or sleep disturbance. The U.S. scientists have recently issued report that says that „the percentage of the overall populations at risk of high annoyance is 9.5%, and highly disturbed sleep at 2.3% „

Long-term exposure to noise pollution is particularly hazardous for human health because it can significantly increase the risks of heart attack and high blood pressure.

The government should be putting lot more effort regarding the traffic-related noise pollution (appropriate funds and research), and after gathering enough data enforce adequate policies to control the noise levels for our communities.

There are several different methods aimed at reducing the levels of harmful noise in our cities such as „using noise barriers, limiting vehicle speeds, alteration of roadway surface texture, limitation of heavy vehicles, using special type of tires“, etc, but many urban areas are still not giving these options a decent chance to tackle excessive noise.

With so many different types of stress in our life, the last thing we need is excessive and disruptive noise to make us even more stressed, aggressive, and lead to all kinds of other adverse health effects.

Peace and quiet does wonders for our body, so noise pollution is anything but welcome. By reducing the levels of noise pollution in areas where we live we'll be creating healthy environment where all people can work and live, without being constantly annoyed by all kinds of artificial noises.

Noise pollution is sadly still not widely recognized health and environmental issue, despite many facts saying a completely opposite story. Our attitude needs to change because why else do we crave so much to have a home in some quiet and peaceful area where we can fully relax ourselves?

HEALTH IN STUDENT LIFE

Assalamualaikum,for the new article i would like to talk about healty lifestyle for student.This is to keep we,student to get more fit mentally and physically for the learning process.Hope this information will give you a better life in the future and also make you get a better result in exam to come.

From all-night studying to midnight pizza runs to endless opportunities for alcohol, being in school can make it difficult to maintain healthy habits. Fortunately, student life doesn't have to mean sacrificing your health. Even when you're stressed out and surrounded by tempting choices, making an effort to avoid the most common health-wreaking traps can help you keep your grades high, your mind sharp and your body fit.

Diet

Maintaining good eating habits is vital for staying healthy as a student. Access to cheap fast-food joints, vending machine snacks and cafeteria food can make it easy to pack on the notorious "freshman 15" weight gain, and pressure to stay thin can cause some students to succumb to eating disorders. However, with proper planning, you can make healthy diet choices as a student. To eat well on a student's budget look for sales and specials in grocery stores, use coupons, purchasefresh produce that's in season, buy frozen or canned vegetables when fresh varieties are unavailable or expensive, select whole-grain breads, opt for low-fat dairy and buy foods in bulk.

Although sitting through classes and spending evenings studying can make it difficult to find time for exercise, staying physically active is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Along with keeping you fit, exercise can help you relieve the stresses of schoolwork, conflicts with your friends and romantic relationships. To integrate exercise into your student lifestyle, take advantage of your campus's gym, walk or bike instead of driving, use your free electives for physical education classes, or join an exercise-oriented organization at your school -- such as a hiking club, yoga club or dance team.

Sleep

Getting adequate shut-eye can be difficult as a student, but sleeping enough each night is vital for staying healthy and excelling in your classes. Sleep helps you boost your memory, improves your ability to retain information, keeps your metabolism working smoothly, improves your mood and supports your immune system -- in turn helping you ward off colds and other illnesses that often strike students. Schedule your days to include plenty of time for slumber, and avoid late-night study sessions by finishing your school work in plenty of time before it's due.

                                                       

Stress

Juggling academic, personal and social obligations as a student is often a recipe for stress. To keep your lifestyle as stress-free as possible, work on your time management skills by prioritizing your obligations, avoiding too many extracurricular activities, balancing socializing with adequate study time and sticking to a regular daily schedule. If stress or anxiety becomes overwhelming, consider using your campus's counseling services or finding a trusted friend or relative to talk about your life with.

10 STUDY HABITS

assalamualaikum, hai and hello to all blogger.  This is my first issue.  It is about student.  I think this article might be important to all student who cares about their study.  If you worry about your study, it is never too late to develop great study habits. If you're starting a new school year, or you just want to improve your grades and school performance, take a look at this list of good habits and start making some changes in your routine.

1. Write Down Every Assignment

The most logical place to write down your assignments is in a planner, but you might prefer to keep a to-do list in a simple notebook or in your cell phone note pad. It doesn't really matter what tool you use, but it is absolutely essential to your success to write down every single assignment, due date, test date, and task.

2. Remember to Bring Your Homework to School

It sounds simple enough, but many F's come from students forgetting to bring a perfectly good paper to school with them. Does your homework have a home? Is there a special place where you always put your paperwork each night? To avoid forgetting your homework, you must establish a strong homework routine with a special homework station where you work each night. Then you must get in the habit of putting your homework where it belongs right after you finish it, whether this is in a special folder on your desk or in your backpack.

3. Communicate With Your Teacher

Every successful relationship is built upon clear communication. A student-teacher relationship is no different. Miscommunication is another one of those factors that can cause bad grades, despite good efforts on your part. At the end of the day, make sure you understand every assignment that's expected of you. Imagine getting a bad grade on a 5-page paper because you didn't understand the difference between an expository essay and a personal essay.

Be sure to ask questions and find out what format you should use when you write a paper or what type of questions might appear on your history exam. The more questions you ask, the more prepared you'll be.

4. Organize With Color

Devise your own color-coding system to keep your assignments and your thoughts organized. You may select a single color for each class (like science or history) and use that color for your folder, your highlighters, your sticky notes, and your pens. You'll be surprised to discover how much strong organization skills can change your life!

Color-coding is also a tool to use when conducting research. For example, you should always keep several colors of sticky flags on hand when you're reading a book for school. Assign a specific color the every topic of interest. Place a flag on a page containing information you will need to study or to cite. It works like magic!

5. Establish a Study Zone at Home

Take the time to assess your individual style and your real needs and plan for the perfect study place. After all, if you can’t concentrate, you certainly can’t expect to learn very well. Students are different. Some need a completely quiet room free from interruptions when they study, but others actually study better listening to quiet music in the background or taking several breaks.

Find a place to study that fits your specific personality and learning style. Then stock your study space with school supplies that will help you avoid last-minute emergencies.

6. Prepare Yourself for Test Days

You know that it's important to study for test days, right? But there are other things you should consider in addition to the actual material that the test will cover. What if you show up for test day and the room is freezing cold? For many students, this would cause enough of a distraction to interrupt concentration. That leads to bad choices and bad answers. Plan ahead for heat or cold by layering your clothing.

And what happens when you spend so much time on one essay question that you don't have enough time to finish the exam? Another way to prepare for test day is to take a watch and be mindful of time management.

7. Know Your Dominant Learning Style

Many students will struggle in a subject without understanding why. Sometimes this is because students don't understand how to study in a way that matches their brain style.

Auditory learners are those who learn best through hearing things. Visual learners retain more information when they use visual aids, and tactile learners benefit by doing hands-on projects.

Every student should examine and evaluate their habits and their natural tendencies and decide how they might be able to improve their study habits by tapping into their personal strengths.

8. Take Fabulous Notes

There are a few tricks to taking fabulous notes that really help when it comes to studying. If you’re visual person, you should make as many doodles on your paper as you can. Useful doodles, that is. As soon as you realize that once topic relates to another, comes before another, is the opposite of another, or has any kind of connection to another—draw a picture that makes sense to you. Sometimes the information will not sink in until and unless you see it in an image.

There are also certain code words to look out for in a lecture that can indicate that your teacher is giving you the relevance or the context of an event. Learn to recognize key words and phrases that your teacher deems important.

9. Conquer Procrastination

When you put things off a lot, you end up putting things off until it's too late from time to time. It's that simple. When you procrastinate, you take the chance that nothing will go wrong at the last minute--but in the real world, things do go wrong.

So how can you battle the urge to put things off? Start with trying to recognize that a feisty little voice that lives inside every one of us. It tells us it would be more fun to play a game, eat, or watch TV when we know better. Don’t fall for it!

10. Take Care of Yourself

Some of your personal habits might be affecting your grades. Are you feeling tired, achy, or bored when it comes to homework time? You can change your grades by practicing a few healthy homework habits. Change the way you feel by taking better care of your mind andyour body.

For example, between text messaging, Sony PlayStations, Xbox, Internet surfing, and computer writing, students are using their hand muscles in all new ways, and they're growing increasingly susceptible to the hazards of repetitive stress injury. Find out how to avoid pain in your hands and neck by changing the way you sit at your computer.
