Do you have passive income? No… Then you need to find one very soon. I was down with one-handed last few days. Can’t drive to work, and can’t work of course. No work == no income. This is normal for most of the people who don’t have passive income. Of course my company still pay me during my absence due to medical leave policy. Else I will have no income.

I was not able to update my blogs during these times. Luckily, scheduled posting is being used on PrettyGirl2u.com. Else readers will be disappointed and might go away. But look at the bright side, the income still coming from these blogs. Thanks to organic sources like Google, Bing and Yahoo. All the popular old posts still bring the traffic and income. Therefore, blogging is a good passive income generator.

Besides, investing in stock market also bring good passive income. With high dividend yield stocks, you can relax and do almost nothing for the money to come. Of course, you need to invest quite a big amount in order to do so.

Back to the question. Do you have passive income?

Yeah… I just checked Google PageRank for my blogs. 1 of them increased from Level 1 to Level 2. Hehe… It looks like playing RPG games that we need to fight lot of monsters in order to advance to next level. However, Google PageRank does not require us to fight monster but get as much as incoming links.

Google PageRank

As at 7 October 2009
JayceOoi.com – Level 3
spBlogger.com – Level 2
PrettyGirl2u.com – Level 2
Forum.JayceOoi.com – Level 2

JayceOoi.com got Level 4 2 years back. But dropped to Level 3 and did not manage to climb back again. Anyway, Google PageRank is not everything. I still getting traffic from search engine like Google, Yahoo and Bing.

Eat less and exercise more.. Yup. We should not eat too much because our brain will be less effective when we are too full. And then we will become lazy to do anything (at least for me). And by exercise more, we can build up our body and reduce weight. In addition, our brain will act faster and more efficient. And don’t forget to drink lot of water.

Well, I don’t intend to be like the photo above ~ changing from a fat to a slim and pretty girl. All I want to have a fresh mind and energetic body so that I can do more work and study. So do remember…

Eat Less… Exercise More…

Study is one of the most important stuff in our life. We cannot survive without study in this challenging world. Therefore, I picked a book ~ 时间投资法 to read. It is about time investment. Yes. Time is another valuable stuff that we always wasted. Playing PC games all day long is just wasting our precious time (unless you are pro gamer). Same apply to movie, shopping or other entertainment. Certain amount time spend on them is okay but not too much like most of the people do.

Above picture was taken from original Japanese book (They translated to Chinese version as 时间投资法). It has interesting concept that separated all our tasks into 4 segments ~

1. important and urgent
2. not important but urgent
3. important not urgent
4. not important and not urgent.

The first segment is like working hour. While second segment is for task like traveling to work, make up before go to work. Third is the most important ~ studying, family fellowship, recharged and fitness. And lastly forth represents the tasks that we should do less ~ watch television, play games and wondering on Internet.

Here are the summary of time investment.

1. Reasons of time management is not working
   • There is no best way to time management
   • Hard to assess the effect of time management
2. Reasons of new actions cannot last
   • No motive for action
   • Time needed to make it as habit
   • Did not study failures
   • Copy exactly the practice of the experts
   • Hope for better but no action taken
3. 5 principles of golden time
   • Don’t hesitate to invest anywhere in order to create time
   • Pay attention on the outcome of certain time like hourly pay rate
   • Don’t simply be ‘Mr nice guy’
   • Priority to do what you like first, good in and tasks that bring income
   • Plan stuffs accordingly, put some buffer
4. 5 ways to increase golden time
   • Pay attention to current problems
   • Drop / skip unnecessary tasks
   • Assign tasks to others
   • Improve the effectiveness of must do tasks
   • Do what you plan, write what you do

Be sure to get a copy of this wonderful book. You will gain more time by reading it.

Suck with TM Net Streamyx connection speed? It is way too slow? No worry. Here is a little help that can improve the Internet connection speed.

Set HTTP Proxy on your browser ~ Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome or Opera…

HTTP Proxy 1 == cdn-jrc-c2100-01.tm.net.my and Port == 3128
HTTP Proxy 2 == cdn-kmr-c2100-01.tm.net.my and Port == 3128

I face slowness when I connect to China website. However, with this proxy setting on. The website loaded in seconds. By the way, be sure to turn off proxy when connection is okay.
