Refocusing and Rebuilding for Your Dreams Again
Introduction
The pandemic. Climate change. Family. Superiors, co-workers, and subordinates.
These are all what some, others, or all of us hold in common.
The Covid-19 pandemic ended. But life goes on and we need to be proactive if another one happens.
The influence of the internet makes everyone aware of disruptive events and produces a consciousness that we are all in this together . We are one in seeking better work-life balance. One cannot be balanced alone but in a community of work and life.
There is a need to refocus on what matters in work and life: to rebuild trust in work relationships, in the practice of self-care, and in refocusing one's mindset towards a positive and productive direction. This work-life balance direction produces the health, strength, and energy to hope for a better future for oneself and others.
Mayroon tayong kasabihan sa Tagalog, "Nasa Diyos ang awa; nasa tao ang gawa."
There is always time for a new beginning; to face each day as the sun shines again.
Decide, take action, follow a discipline, and move on towards a better tomorrow.
How to refocus, rebuild your dreams and enjoy one's work again
Simply by resetting goals, or making new ones, you can relive your dream.
Health and financial wellness are essential priorities.
Setting goals for health and financial well-being can be worked out. Refocusing and rebuilding on tried-and-true values of conservatism, with more emphasis on needs than wants, have helped families and businesses thrive in the past. It is still relevant, especially in a time such as now.
Add a new skill set. Be rare and valuable
Adding to your skill set is necessary.
As author Cal Newport says, being “rare and valuable” is a big advantage. Watch and listen to a YouTube video on "Be Rare and Valuable: So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Productivity Game.
How to be rare and valuable? There is a trend now for obtaining microcredentials. You can search for the microcredential that you can integrate with your present skillset. Why not AI? AI is where the action is. It is also where profit is produced.
Adding a new skill set is essential for self-sufficiency. To refocus and rebuild is to use practical tools such as AI for personal and professional goals and growth.
- AI can provide simple steps to balance work and life.
- It can produce practical solutions for a sustainable work rhythm and
- help those with part-time jobs or MSMEs to prioritize well-being without sacrificing productivity.
- AI saves you time and automates for you so you can have more time for self-care and family.
Anything with AI is also an opportunity for an additional stream of income. A formal course on AI can be good for your résumé, curriculum vitae or LinkedIn profile. Simply adding any short certificate course such as the CS50 Computer Science of Harvard (free for a limited time period) is a win. And for MSMEs, the Department of Trade and Industry also gives webinars for Filipino MSMEs to gain skills for business. The Philippine government is already investing in AI.
Learning how to employ AI is a winning skill
Learning how to "prompt" artificial intelligence for better results is a winning skill.
Now is the time to join the bandwagon of AI.
Microsoft's Copilot (Bing AI) and Google's Gemini have basic and free versions to get you started. ChatGPT also made their AI app available for all online.
The Philippines is one of the countries in the world that has opened itself to these modern technologies. A new Philippines and a new world is being born through AI.
AI helps you have a growth mindset
One key to good work-life balance is to have a growth mindset.
When some days don't work out right, a growth mindset will help you see what you learned. Use AI to solve the problems you encounter daily: in your work and life.
A growth mindset with AI can
- help you learn from mistakes and failures,
- add another valuable skill necessary to your work,
- select and download the right mobile apps,
- and apply common sense decisions for work and life.
With AI and common sense, you are good to go.
