WHAT 'ME TIME' IS?

pic taken random by Google
What is the mean of me time? Maybe we've often heard about 'me time' before. Me time is a time for yourself, is the break that we need to do any activities alone just be yourself. Leisure time for a short break from all the routines that we do.

Peoples usually need about two hours per day to enjoy the time off by themself, this statement is according to psychologist Ayoe Sutomo. Time needed about only two hours can be effectively as possible as they can. Maybe for talk with deep down in the heart or mind, for listening more of what they heart said or how much they thinking a lot about anything.

In the survey that conducted by the Pew Research Center, women in America usually have a free time so much less than men. Leisure time can be happened just about five hours per week at home by themselves without children. If their children were aged under 18 years, so we can tell that the spare time they can get was reduced to only 3 hours per week.
It is not much different from what happened in Indonesia.

Do you take your 'me time' today? You needed it, really!

7 Tips Kece Liburan Keluar Negri


Wah 2017 sudah di depan mata. Kalender berisi jadwal hari-hari libur pun sudah ditangan.
Artinya?
Ayolahhh kita pergi berlibur.

Ke destinasi wisata dalam negri, boleh.
Ke luar negeri, juga boleh.

Kali ini saya mau share 7 tips kece liburan ke luar negeri.

#1 Siapkan dokumen

Untuk keluar negeri, paspor adalah dokumen wajib. Urus dari jauh-jauh hari, baik perpanjang atau urus baru. Prosesnya sih cepat, tapi tetep aja butuh waktu. Jangan sampe mepet-mepet. Ga mau kan semua hal sudah siap eh batal berangkat lantaran paspor visa belum kelar. Kelar liburan lo, bahkan sebelum dimulai!

#2 Alat komunikasi

Gali informasi sebanyak-banyaknya mengenai kartu SIM provider seluler yang murah meriah untuk sekedar apdet sosmed atau memberi kabar ke keluarga di tanah air. Pentinglah ini. Kalo mau tetep pake provider lokal Indonesia sih boleh aja, tapi jangan kaget sama tagihannya atau bentar-bentar isi pulsa. Bro sis, susah loh isi pulsa di luar negri. Atau mendingan sebelum pergi melancong, migrasikan pra bayar menjadi paskabayar untuk komunikasi tanpa batas.

#3 I understand, you understand, that's communication

Pelajari beberapa bahasa singkat negara yang kita tuju. Bawalah kamus percakapan umum turis. Kalo ke negara yang masih pake bahasa Inggris kayanya masih enak, masih laku kamus oxford. Nah kalo ke negara yang bahasanya selain Inggris, berkanji-kanji atau punya aksara/karakter sendiri, hmm perlu persiapan itu mah. Bawalah kamus, itu udah best effort!
Tapi sebenernya untuk ngomong bahasa selain bahasa kita, jangan pentingin grammar, meski bisa grammar will be better. I understand, what you said and vice versa, that we call communication. Meski gesture juga perlu dikerahkan kalo udah kepepet.

#4 Uang saku!

Nahhh ini penting banget juga. Kalo liburan ya kudu bawa uang saku, berupa uang cash. Gampang kok, bisa punya uang sekian langsung ditukerin ke mata uang negara tujuan lalu dipegang sebagai cash. Atau... nabung dari jauh-jauh hari di bank nasionalnya negara tujuan yang cabangnya di Indonesia. Jangan lupa cek pergerakan nilai tukar rupiah 2017 Sindonews. Iya, karena pergerakan nilai tukar rupiah itu sungguh dinamis, walau ga jauh-jauh amat, tapi lumayan bikin jantung ser ser. Efeknya ke banyaknya nominal yang bakalan kita tukerin. Jadi sering-sering cek pergerakan nilai tukar rupiah 2017 Sindonews.

#5 Tour travel atau backpacker

Dua dua nya boleh. Dua-duanya punya plus minus. Kalo pake tour and travel pastilah agendanya lebih terarah, kemungkinan untuk over budget lebih kecil karena ada ittinerarynya. Tapi kalo dibandingin ketengan backpacker, pastilah lebih mahal, kan nyewa tour guide supaya waktunya ootimal, kaga ada acara nyasar-nyasar atau luntang-lantung ga dapet hotel.
Sedangkan kalo backpacker, kita yang susun sendiri ittinerarynya, estimasi biayanya. Kalo pake nyasar, ya berarti ada biaya extra untuk naik taksi ke tempat semula, atau malahan biaya extra karena kena scam di kawasan tertentu. Banyak-banyak nonton scam city sebelum backpackeran.

#6 oleh-oleh

Hm hm hm... jangan terlalu terbebani pikiran dan bagasi dengan basa-basi orang-orang yang minta oleh-oleh, kecuali mereka emang nitipin uangnya untuk beli oleh-oleh dan juga bayar over bagasinya. Hahahaha. Ya beli seperlunya dan semampunya aja, jangan sampe over bagasi.

#7 Asuransi

Asuransi perjalanan, murah tapi kadang disepelekan. Asuransi ya fungsinya proteksi terhadap hal yang tidak diinginkan. Ya iya sih kita ga mau terjadi hal yang buruk, tapi kan siapa yang tahu? Membeli asuransi itu sih menurut saya, penting. Ingatlah bahwa keluarga tercinta menunggu kita di rumah.

Nah, simple kan? Sudah siap liburan ke luar negeri? Kalo saya pengen bangen ke Maldives lohh. Kalo kalian pengen kemana?

7 Tips Memilih Tas Kerja Wanita Karir

Polyvore


Untuk menjadi seorang wanita karir yang sukses, tas kerja wanita ga luput dari perhatian dong.
Tas kerja yang mendukung pasti akan membawa aura positif kepercayaan diri pemakainya.

Tapi tas kerja wanita itu banyak banget macemnya, dari model yang simple elegant sampai ke yang blink blink nya bikin semua mata terpana. Harganya juga macem-macem, harga tas kerja wanita ada yang murah dan menyenangkan dompet sampai yang setara sama mobil juga ada, semua bisa kita sesuaikan dengan situasi kondisi keuangan kita masing-masing. Yang kaya gimana sih yang okeh dan bisa support kegiatan pemiliknya?

#1 Ukuran sedang
Tas kerja yang pas itu yang minimal bisa muat dompet, handphone, tablet. Ya sesuai dengan namanya, tas kerja ya pasti memuat barang2 yang bisa menunjang pekerjaan pemiliknya. Ga guna juga kalo bentuknya clutch kecil, tapi dompet, handphone, planner berserakan di meja. Hilanglah fungsi tas kerja.

#2 Laptop ga wajib
Maksudnya tas kerja kita ga wajib bisa masuk leptop. Biasanya laptop ada tasnya sendiri dan dijinjing tersendiri. Tapi kalopun muat laptop 10", boleh juga. Tapi pertimbangkan kekuatan tas tersebut. Jangan sampe tengsin saat bawa segala macam alat tempur trus jebol.

#3 Investasi jangka panjang
Sebagai wanita karir yang sibuk, meski punya seribu koleksi sepatu, meski punya sejuta koleksi tas, tetep aja waktu kadang ga bersahabat untuk sekedar beli tas kerja baru.
Gakpapalah harga tas kerja wanita yang agak mahalan sebagai investasi jangka panjang. Daripada yang murahan tapi sebulan jebol?!

#4 Tote oke, postman juga oke.
Bingung model yang gimana? Hmm untuk tas berkapasitas agak besar, yang paling cocok ya yang model tote, yang bisa disampirkan dan dikempit di bahu. Atau modal selempang atau postman. Hanya saja kalo model postman karena talinya lebih panjang, kekuatannya lebih rentan dibanding tas tote.

#5 Bigger is better
Bener banget, makin gede makin oke untuk menampung banyak keperluan kita, mungkin kita sering harus bawa-bawa dokumen tertentu kemana-mana, repot dong kalau bawa-bawa map. Belum kalau janjian sama klien lain eh baru inget ternyata mapnya ketinggalan di toilet cafe yang tadi kita mampirin. Tapi jangan oversize segede tas popok ya atau segede tas koper -_-. Small is good, Bigger is better but biggest is nay! Kan kita wanita karir sis, bukan wanita kurir. Uhuk. Hihi.

#6 Neutral please.
Untuk warna mah ya yang netral aja, untuk memudahkan padupadan dengan kostum. Lagian kalo warnanya spesifik, agak riweuh bongkar-bongkat ganti tas pas ga sesuai dengan outfit of the day. Salah2, bisa ketinggalan barang penting. Macem pointer, powerbank, kecil tapi urgent.

#7 other stuff
Yah yang namanya cewe, ga jauh2 dari printilan. Macem tas make up, tisu basah, hand santizer, tisu kering belum kalau buat kerja ya pasti ada tempat khusus kartu nama klien, tab atau planner untuk mencatat hal-hal penting yang harus kita kerjakan. Memang sih printilan kecil, tapi kalau banyak ya pastilah ini lumayan butuh space di tas. Jadi ya, pilih tas yang ada banyak sekat di dalamnya. Ada sekat untuk kunci, hp, sehingga mudah dijangkau dan dicari kalau butuh sesuatu. Jangan perlakukan tas kita kayak kantong ajaibnya Doraemon yang segala cemplung di dasar tas nggak beraturan. Bingung dong kalau butuh sesuatu harus ngubek-ngubek dulu sampek ketemu. Nggak praktis dan memakan waktu cuma buat nyari barangnya doang.

Nah itu garis besar memilih tas paling nyaman buat kerja para wanita karir.  Hmmm ada tambahan lain?

Hang Out Seru Tanpa Gangguan


Hang Out Seru Tanpa Gangguan.
Sesekali kita boleh hang out bersama teman atau kerabat tercinta. Untuk menghemat biaya perjalanan sekaligus memperpanjang durasi kebersamaan, kita bisa memanfaatkan satu kendaraan bersama-sama. Beberapa orang teman bisa nebeng di mobil teman yang lain. Selama perjalanan bisa bertukar cerita seru, dan si pengemudi bisa agak relax dan terhibur oleh rekan atau teman yang menebeng.

Kebersamaan ini jangan sampai rusak karena adanya hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan seperti misalnya bensin yang tiba-tiba habis, oli bocor, lampu kendaraan yang tidak menyala atau mungkin aki mobil yang soak. Selain merusak mood, juga merusak momen kebersamaan.

Untuk mencegah hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan selama perjalanan, cek kendaraan sebelum digunakan. Cek air radiator, oli, cek aki mobil. Jika aki soak maka fungsi kendaraan tidak berjalan optimal.

Namun jika hal itu tetap terjadi padahal sudah dilakukan pengecekan sebelumnya, maka jangan resah dan gelisah. Kita bisa menggunakan layanan aki antar #GSAstraDelivery dari Shop and Drive. Caranya pun sangat mudah, kita tinggal menelpon ke 15-000-15 dan aki baru sesuai pesanan akan segera diantar dan dipasangkan. Simple kan? Layanan pesan aki antar ini bisa untuk siapa, termasuk para pengemudi wanita yang kebanyakan ga begitu paham mengenai kendaraan yang sering digunakannya.



Nah jika aki sudah oke, hampir fungsi kendaraan bisa beroperasi normal. Seperti lampu, AC, radio/tape yang membuat perjalanan hang out jadi lebih menyenangkan. Ya bisa sih ngewa taksi online, tapi kok rasanya lebih akrab jika kita bisa menebeng teman. Ya temen sih temen, jangan lupa, dia manusia juga, mobilnya juga mobil biasa juga. Yang artinya si pengemudi tetap akan merasa lelah mengendarai kendaraan selama perjalanan dan si mobil tetap butuh bahan bakar untuk operasional perjalanannya. Para penebeng sih baiknya bisa sama-sama patungan biaya perjalanan seikhlasnya sebagai pengganti uang cape dan uang bensin kepada si pengemudi. Hitung-hitung kita bantu teman. Siapa tahu dia memang sedang dalam kesulitan, ya kan?

Jadi, kamu termasuk si penebeng atau pemberi tebengan jika ada acara hang out bersama?

5 Reasons Not To Set Up Pension Funds That Must Be Stopped


Currently you are working, as well as your husband. Your husband may be working in a company with a great career and you have a pastry shop not far from our home and already has some loyal customers. Income from your pastry shop of course entirely yours. Shopping anything you liked maybe easy, not so big deal because you have your own money.

Or perhaps you and your husband just married recently and had just planned to build household's ladder economy better?

But have you ever think about retiring and has started to put aside your income for retirement? Retirement is something that will definitely coming, even you have so many of plans and pretty much of income, we could not determine through it with full readiness.

These reasons may be familiar with yourselves in order to avoid preparing a pension plan. What is it?

#1 "Do not have enough or much money."
Some people will argue that they have no more money to be allocated as a pension after paying routine bills. Do you belong? But without thinking twice, why we were able to spend up to 500,000 IDR a month to eat somewhere nice or traveling? However, if they set aside half of that amount, in only 10 months would be 2,500,000 IDR. Just imagine if 30 years along with interest.

#2 "I'm young, I still have plenty of time to save money to retire."
No you know the more you getting old year by year, the more allocation of expenditure which made our earnings less rest. That's why do not delay, do it as early as possible.

#3 "I have a right to have fun with my money, because I already working so hard for it."

Well it is true that you are always entitled to your money but do not forget to predict the future too. So from now on, divided your money into two allocations, have fun now and for your retirement in the future... isn't it sound fun and guaranteed?

#4 "If I retire, I will sell my house,"
Is you include a person that thinking like that? Well of course sell the house will generate a lot of money, especially if your house in a strategic location and sought after by many people. However, where will you live then? After all, we do not know what will happen when we retire, house prices maybe will be greatly influenced by the market price. Moreover, selling a home is not something that can be quickly done.

#5 "I want to focus on saving for children's education first, then retired,"
It has naturally character of parents to put the needs of their childrens before themselves. But you must remember this: if the needs of our childrens school feesrequires a lot of money, we can get extra money to pay it from scholarships or other types of aid. But if it is about to retire, no. We can only use the money we have saved.

Why We Should Not Regret How Much We Spent When Traveling?


Traveling is something that often presents a dilemma in our minds. If we choose to not travel, stress of boredom from the routines from our home and our workplace could disturbing us. If we choose to traveling so we will be happy anyway, but at the end there is also a stress because we keep spend in tourist destinations. We are to feared that when we come home instead feel relax and happy, we burden of thinking for a credit card bills in a row.

Then since the beginning of holiday plan when we will do the traveling, maybe in our heads already think about how we will plan a cheap traveling. So we will busy looking for tickets, hotels, tourist attractions and places to eat that super cheap. If it is necessary, we should find how to traveling as cheap as possible. Finally our holiday can be tiring and lost it means.

Here's why we do not have to feel guilty about spending money during traveling:

1) Our time is very valuable
When we decided to fill the holiday with travel abroad, definitely our first goal is to get the best price towards the destination we choice. Without knowing, we ignore what is more important: the duration of the flight. If our choice to get the cheapest flights caused us much more time in journey, chances of getting a transit flight with the risk of long wait at the airport with no certainty or flight problems occur that reduce the time of our holiday. We better pay a little more expensive, with fastest flight. It will be even more worthed really.

2) Buying Experience
Do not think twice to get a new experience, leven it cost us money. We know it is rather difficult to completely separate this from our heads. However, try to remember again what we were looking after thus far from home? Yes, new experience, right? Such as when it will go to tourist places which pricey according to us, think again it is worth the money we spent? Eating a hot dog while watching the World Cup live in the stadium is far more expensive than eating a hot dog while watching the world cup in café that not far from our house. But then again, do not look it was all about hot dog, but the experience of eating that hot dog while longer to watch the World Cup live in a country that organizes the game. Not experience we got every day of course.

3) Opportunity Can Not Being Repeated
While walking around, maybe we found a unique museum that is a popular tourist spot among locals, but no list of recommendations for tourists.
