WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

Lately, my daughter. Having a child reminds you of your own mortality, the importance of fighting for what’s right and trying to fix the world, which we can all agree is in quite a mess.

OVERCOMING CHALLENGES

Break it into smaller, easier challenges. If you constantly think of big challenges, you will feel overwhelmed to the point that it can paralyse you. Whenever I feel a challenge is too big, I just focus on what can I do today to turn it into a great day.

TIPS FOR PRODUCTIVITY

TO BE YOURSELF AND NOT BE SOMEONE ELSE. IT’S SO EASY TO LOOK AT OTHERS, WHAT THEY HAVE AND DO, THEN WANTING IT AS WELL, BUT YOU’LL END UP BEING A STRANGER TO YOURSELF.

It’s best to write things down. If it is not written down, it may not happen. Also, the irony of being productive, at least to me, is to not be too ambitious and write tonnes of things you want to do for the day. In my notebook, if my daily plan took up more than half a page, I know some won’t get done.

GOALS FOR THE APP

Basically the app allows you to have no need for a live-in maid anymore. We want it to be your personal domestic assistant. The Maideasy app is all you need, plus you know that you’re helping the local economy and the community in need.
