Hey there Fashionista & nisto,

It has been ages since my last blog, I apologize for the uber lateness
You must be wondering what’s with the planner title??Okay here is the thing, I know some of you might have the same problem as what I’m facing every day and that is time management. I S*** at it badly ! So yeah I decided to take a planner or an organizer, I know most of you do have an e-organizer already (Blackberry,ipad,samsung tab and etc.). well I still prefer to write on paper as it will be immortalized forever. I had been searching for a perfect organizer that could fit all the things that I need from daily things to do such as expenses,budget,monthly,birthday and journal sections to be all in one book. But there was none that could satisfy my need in search of the perfect organizer.

The Only Solution is to create my very own Planner/Journal. Gosh there is thousands of ideas out there...it took me hours to finally decide on what i am going to do on my PLANNER!

Finally after hours and days of making my journal/ planner I finally get to enjoy my very own customized planner:)

So here are some few tips that I could lend to those who need to organize their time! and to create their very own planner :-

1) Realize that time management is a myth.

No matter how organized we are, there are always only 24 hours in a day. Time doesn't change. All we can actually manage is ourselves and what we do with the time that we have.

2) Find out where you're wasting time.

Many of us are prey to time-wasters that steal time we could be using much more productively. What are your time-bandits? Do you spend too much time 'Net surfing, reading email, or making personal calls? Tracking Daily Activities explains how to track your activities so you can form a accurate picture of what you actually do, the first step to effective time management.

3) Create time management goals.

Remember, the focus of time management is actually changing your behaviors, not changing time. A good place to start is by eliminating your personal time-wasters. For one week, for example, set a goal that you're not going to take personal phone calls while you're working. (See Set Specific Goals for help with goal setting.) For a fun look at behaviors that can interfere with successful time management, see my article Time Management Personality Types. Find out if you're a Fireman, an Aquarian or a Chatty Kathy!

4) Implement a time management plan.

Think of this as an extension of time management tip # 3. The objective is to change your behaviors over time to achieve whatever general goal you've set for yourself, such as increasing your productivity or decreasing your stress. So you need to not only set your specific goals, but track them over time to see whether or not you're accomplishing them.

5) Use time management tools.

Whether it's a Day-Timer or a software program, the first step to physically managing your time is to know where it's going now and planning how you're going to spend your time in the future. A software program such as Outlook, for instance, lets you schedule events easily and can be set to remind you of events in advance, making your time management easier.

6) Prioritize ruthlessly.

You should start each day with a time management session prioritizing the tasks for that day and setting your performance benchmark. If you have 20 tasks for a given day, how many of them do you truly need to accomplish? For more on daily planning and prioritizing daily tasks, see Start the Day Right with Daily Planning.

7) Learn to delegate and/or outsource.

No matter how small your business is, there's no need for you to be a one-person show. For effective time management, you need to let other people carry some of the load. Determining Your Personal ROI explains two ways to pinpoint which tasks you'd be better off delegating or outsourcing, while Decide To Delegate provides tips for actually getting on with the job of delegating.

8) Establish routines and stick to them as much as possible.

While crises will arise, you'll be much more productive if you can follow routines most of the time.

9) Get in the habit of setting time limits for tasks.

For instance, reading and answering email can consume your whole day if you let it. Instead, set a limit of one hour a day for this task and stick to it.

10) Be sure your systems are organized.

Are you wasting a lot of time looking for files on your computer? Take the time to organize a file management system. Is your filing system slowing you down? Redo it, so it's organized to the point that you can quickly lay your hands on what you need. You'll find more information about setting up filing systems and handling data efficiently in my Data Management library.

11) Don't waste time waiting.

From client meetings to dentist appointments, it's impossible to avoid waiting for someone or something. But you don't need to just sit there and twiddle your thumbs. Always take something to do with you, such as a report you need to read, a checkbook that needs to be balanced, or just a blank pad of paper that you can use to plan your next marketing campaign. Technology makes it easy to work wherever you are; your PDA and/or cell phone will help you stay connected.

You can be in control and accomplish what you want to accomplish - once you've come to grips with the time management myth and taken control of your time.

Hello my beautiful & extravagant fashion LOVERS!!!

I know, I know it's been quite a long time since I actually blog here, but it's been super crazy the last few years.
I just finished my fashion school!!! Maybe I will post up my graduation pictures! (SEE BELOWWWWW Y'ALL)

Meanwhile, I had been busy designing and making wedding garments and decoration of pelamin (bridal backdrop) for close friends and family. Here are some piccas!

This is one of the wedding gowns I made for my elder sister's nikah ceremony.

Oh and say hi to my little babies too. I have got a few babies, they are (from up to down) Princess Magnefique Louis, Princess Mapuquie Louis and Prince Muezza Louis.

Maggy, Mappy and Muezza

Don't worry, I do not allow them to enter my work station a.k.a humble atelier... so don't have to worry about being allergic and all. :-)

With school out of the picture, I am now itching to start work! and I mean, real work. Hehe... so you lucky girls out there be ready (and guys too, are you here?)

Stay tuned while I sew up my next big projects. There's one coming up in the near future. Please pray that I get it... I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, in case you were wondering, the point of this post is:

HN is back.

woot! woot!

My Graduation Collection - Gemma

Walk of Honour after receiving my fashion diploma scroll... Humble and malu-malu konon haha

Models with Designer ;-)

My darling dearest Mapuquie (Mappy) fair little british short hair

The very regal Magnifique (Maggy) also a 6 months old Norwegian ??breeD??

My munchkin darling, Muezza who has won best pet award just at 5 months old!

So I was honoured with the duty to design and make the dresses for these two ladies who happen to be my very close friends. 

As you can see they're totally different.  

The first one below is less traditional of a wedding gown and the second one is more traditional bridal all white wedding dress. I am happy to have been working for and with these brides as they have such exquisite taste in fashion. Anyway, I'll try to post more pictures when I can. Meanwhile, I'm swamped with new projects which I cannot wait to divulge once the projects complete!  Stay tuned!

Take care always! 

Love,

HN

This is from December last year. It  felt like such a long time ago but it's only been 4 months tops. Maybe I've been working too much. I've been busy making wedding dresses for family and friends and now I'm glad to announce that I'll be taking orders for wedding dresses starting this year, 2014. Please connect with me if you're interested.

Wow a year and more have passed! Can't believe it's been that long! Stay tuned, I will be uploading the past year... hopefully in a few coherent posts!

How've you been, fashion forwarders?

Love,
HanifNaim
