While you should always focus on the task at hand, sometimes we may find ourselves in a circumstance of having little to do. When you work hard and perhaps your workload often comes in fits and starts, you may find yourself with plenty of free time. For example, working as a security guard on the night shift can often leave you alone for hours at a time, and patrolling a certain area and conducting inspections may only be something you need to partake in a couple of times an hour. Of course this is a super specific example, but the point remains. While many jobs require your full intellectual and mental capabilities, often we can be left with dead space that we may need to fill, quite allowed by our employers as long as our presence is still felt. 

But how should you kill this free time at work? Could you fill it in a productive manner? Absolutely. Consider the following: 

Reading challenging articles can help enlighten you to the state of the world, consider another perspective, and introduce you to stories in industries or environments that you may not usually be concerned with. One moment you may be reading a challenging analysis on the difficulties of farmers in South Africa, the next about current workers rights in the Philippines. Time spent informing yourself about the lives of people around the world is often time not wasted, and trying to contend with high-level journalism like this can surely be a challenging affair - helping your literacy and reading skills develop over time. You never know, with such a varied intake of new information via a range of important publications, you may read something that sparks your curiosity, leading you to research more about a particular topic, perhaps having it become something to orbit your life around.

There are so many startup companies that struggle to make ends meet, and there are many businesses that provide services that don’t necessarily fall under the category of business, but they do anyway, and a dental practice is one of them. It’s just different terms, customers are now called patients and clients are now called specialists. The running of a successful dental practice is in many ways similar to running a business. Here are some things that you should bear in mind when you are making the first steps towards making your dental practice. 

Create A Great Business Plan 

This will be your bible or your manifesto when it comes to laying out what you want to get out of the business for yourself and for your customers. What sort of a service are you planning on providing? Are there areas that you specialize in? Is there already a dental practice in the area which you may have to compete with? What equipment do you need, do you need to speak to healthcare furniture manufacturers and get quotes for everything? Are you going to need large amounts of furniture and equipment? Once you manage to put everything you possibly can into your business plan, you can follow it to the letter. When approaching banks and lenders for funding, they would ask to see your business plan, so you should create a great one with as much detail as possible. 

There’s a huge movement surrounding paperless businesses that has been rearing its ugly head over the past couple of months and it’s something that needs to be discussed before too many entrepreneurs get the wrong idea or start to make drastic changes to their business that are simply ludicrous and don’t need to happen. Let’s dive straight into the article and skip the intro because the quicker you ingest this information, the faster you’ll realise that these “go paperless” articles are a complete joke.

Going Paperless Doesn’t Save Trees 

Forget all the nonsense you’ve read about going paperless and saving the environment. First of all, a single company making the switch to paperless doesn’t mean they will stop cutting a tree. That tree is going to be harvested for the sake of other products. For instance, it will be turned into lumber for buildings and structures, it might turn into fuel, or it might turn into tissues. If someone is serious about saving trees then they’d better stop using tissues to wipe themselves after going toilet and they should probably stop using wood-based furniture such as their desk—see how ridiculous this notion is? 

Now, we’re not saying we’re too familiar with the idea, but from time to time you might find that you’ve got a little extra cash than normal. Perhaps you received a bonus from work, perhaps you got a windfall inheritance from a family member, or perhaps you’ve managed to sell one of your larger assets. It’s all good and well, we’re sure, to have some money burning a hole in your bank account, but what on earth should you do with it? Luckily, there are a few tried and tested areas where you can put your money. Here’s a few of the most common (and one that’s the most rewarding).

Save It For Your Retirement 

If you’re at a loss as to where to spend your money, then why spend it all? It’s not going to anywhere if you don’t spend it the first day you get it (and it’s unlikely to disappear ever unless something goes drastically wrong in Donald Trump’s America...yikes). Instead, keep it in a savings account and wait until you’re retired. It’ll take the stress of saving a portion of your monthly wage away, and you’ll be able to sleep easy knowing you have the cash for that cruise in the Arctic you always wanted to go on! 

Sleep, glorious sleep. It’s not the case in the modern world to get as much sleep as our grandparents, or older generations did. We have too many distractions, from social media to the latest box set, to needing to work longer hours for what works out as less pay than 25 years ago. We also don’t do enough things to promote a good night’s sleep, we move a lot less, and obesity is constantly on the rise. These things are affecting our ability to rest properly and recharge our bodies. As more research is being put into sleeping, the recent results show that it is where we do all of our processing of the information we received that day. And it is the most effective way to recover physically. You may think that lacking in sleep is fine on occasion, say, just missing a couple of hours a night for a short period of time. In actual fact, if you slept 6 hours a night, just 2 hours less than the recommended amount, for two weeks, you are as fatigued as someone who has not slept for 48 hours! You need to find ways to prepare for a good and restful night’s sleep. Give the following a try and see how your quality of sleep improves dramatically. 

Reduce The Amount Of Light Coming Into Your Room 

Before the invention of electricity, we would go to sleep when it got dark. By adding some blackout blinds or sleeping with a sleep mask will help to mimic night time much better than your closed curtains will. 

4-7-8 

There are breathing techniques to get you to sleep, and this is one of them (you won’t need to meditate or cleanse any auras before doing this). Breathe in for the count of four. Hold your breath for the count of seven. Then exhale for the count of eight. It might not work wonders straightaway but doing it twice a day for six weeks will show some great results. 

Exercise 

If you have many hobbies but going to the gym isn’t one of them, it’s time to start. Exercising helps to reduce cortisol and increase endorphins, the feel-good hormone, which will set you up for slumber.

When boredom strikes me, this is one of the things that I usually do - funny photo effects.

Took the test from Blogthings and here is the result. I got an 84%. Not that bad but I still have to work on for the 16% to be a multimillionaire someday. What do you think? Will I achieve it? Hehehehehe...Whew! I still have to be a millionaire before i become a multimillionaire. Will it take me ages to do that? Imagine, to be the next Donald Trump??? Well, I don't know. I wonder what kind of thing will make me become a millionaire. Is it work, luck or something? Hehehehehe... (Saranggola sa ulan bah?) We will see, we will see. :)
