LAKSHMANA PERUMAL

Today I have very tough challenges to make my self away from e-mail and forced to work on e-mail to clear up week end pending jobs.  Very interesting for upcoming days.

Today I could not meet my other challenges apart from walking.  Let me try upcoming days.  I am focused on the other challenges too.

Today happens to be a hectic day at work due to meetings.  I was little impatient about my challenge to stick to 8 hours work every day.  It poses a big challenge to me with lot of tasks pending to complete due to time spent for meetings.  This made me think with thin the tasks what are all priorities must complete today.   It is quite interesting to take steps to meet the challenge. 

Today at my work place my colleagues appreciated me for my involvement in this eco challenge.  They asked me what are all the challenges I took.  I was explaining to them about I was selecting so many challenges and the system stopped me/ alerted me be practical.  Everyone laughed at this comment.  My colleagues were wondering how can avoid e-mail during my leisure time.  This is a challenge and I can succeed.

I made purchase of new lens by using my old frame.  I am recording it.

I usually working on my e-mails even during my travel as much as possible.  Today happens to be my second day I avoided e-mail and working on important task which is very important for my job responsibilities.  Felt very satisfied this way by working differently.  

I was very focused to maintain the time line.  I got a challenge from my boss at the last minute.  I was thinking should I complete it today or postpone to tomorrow as it seems urgent work.  I completed within my task well.

Today I walked to catch an auto for my travel to work place.

As usual I am back from work (directly from a factory to home).  Normally I used to sit before laptop within 5 to 10 minutes of my arrival at my home.  Today to meet the challenge I took I avoided work and took a book titled Winning by Jack Welch.  I used to turn some page of the book for reading.  Today when I turned the page it was about Six Sigma.  I heard about Six Sigma earlier from my boss when I took a book from our office library.  That time my boss told me it is a vast subject and understanding it will be very tough as it goes into very detailed information.  Today I just learnt very vital points about Six Sigma and I am very much confident to talk about this to any of my business associates for mutual benefit.  This was possible when I was determined to take this challenge I undertake in the programme.  I see lot of changes in me by doing a small changes in my day to day life.  Great inspiration for me to experience this.  Tons of thanks to Eco Challenge team who made this possible to work for me and learn new things in life. 

14th happens to be challenge starting day.  I could not accomplish any of the challenges I took.  Empathy on myself for not being attentive after the commitment made with Eco Challenge.
