This article explain why a presentation should not exceed 18 minutes total. For this, 15 minutes ideal meeting.  Not every meeting may be able to be done in 15 minutes, but for the general day to day stuff there's no reason to be wasting away for hours while nothing is accomplished. If you need a little help, try setting a 15 minute timer and when it goes off, meeting is done. If you guys heard of “meeting efficiency”, there are some company had begun practicing it. Why company practice meeting efficiency? 1. To improve productivity.    Employee able to attend several meetings/discussion in a day which also allow time for operation work related. 2.

This post from FineDiningLovers shows a good idea on how to defrost a steak in 5 minutes without microwave oven. By placing two metal pot, with the one on the top fill with water. This method allows ambient heats. How? The process is actually quite simple. All users have to do is place the steak on a metal pan that’s been turned over, place a second pan on top of that and fill the top pan with water. The increased pressure from the water and something called ambient heat, which is conducted very well by metal, work to defrost the meat without any electricity needed. I'm going to try this when there is a chance.

People often thought that becoming a project manager and people manager are the same things. Some things it is two different things. Well there are some points where it actually collides. In both case, it always had peoples to interact with. Human is so hard to predict and full of variety. Each and different individual had it's own mindset and own decision. When come to interaction with peoples, regardless project management or people management, you can be hated or be liked. A good project manager is the same as a good people manager which the members or staff respect and happy working with. Many says that project manager need to be micro to keep track on each task assigned and people manager need to be more macro than project manager. There is no wrong or right on this thought. It just that to be better, one should share the same thought regardless as a project manager or people manager. J. Keith Murnighan written a good research article on how manager should do less .

Follow the concept of shoji lamp, I had made a lamp which is easy to be done and cheap. The material is only a wood I found somewhere in my house, bulb holder, plug, used cable, bamboo satay stick, bulb and two used spoiled CD. I saw the wood into a smaller piece that only able to fit the bulb holder and sand it. Then measure and fold an A4 paper so it fits the width and length of the wood. Then I glue the stick accordingly and it will look like this. I fold it letting the stick at outside then glue the join together. Then I make a small hole letting the wire to go through. Then stick the CD to the wood and the wood to the bulb holder. The box will go in exactly the wood and hold it. Then it is time to try out.   Tadaa!! It’s done and working. Pretty nice too as the design is simple.

I browse through the internet and found a website name instructable.com. I found a lamp that pretty nice. It use Japanese shoji style to create a DIY lamp. So I try to make on my self too. I use tracing paper, bamboo satay stick, some electronic equipment. The wood I do not know for what purpose, I just take it picture for fun. Then I start with measuring the stick. I align it this way so that it will had rectangular shape and not square. Then I measure the stick for the horizontal and vertical for the inside the square. I took 70% of the original length and cut it into sizes. So it will looks like this. 4 different length of stick. Then I glue the join with glue gun. I will suggest use UHU because glue gun is far too hard to control. Then I stick the frame to the tracing paper which I had cut it into sizes. It almost done with 4 angle. It will look something like this. I perform the wiring for the electric parts. Then stick the bulb hold...
