Time Management For Web Designers

Hi today i read a beautiful artical on Time Management for Web Designer. As web designers, we are usually met with strict deadlines while dealing with two, three, four (or more!) other projects. It can be tough to keep yourself balanced enough to accomplish everything within the time allocated. This is where time management steps in. Where i came to know about GTDgmail which is actually GTD (Getting Thnigs Done) + Gmail. People who use gmail for their daily mail management GTDgmail is very useful for them.

Poverty to prosperity . . . .

Yesterday in GPYGM's (Gayatri Pariwar Youth Group Mumbai) monthly meeting we were discussing about some points of rural development and how we can contribute for the same. Where i came to know about Anna Hajare.

Anna Hazare is one of India's most noted social activists. A former army jeep driver and Ramon Magsaysay Award winner, Anna is well known and respected as the man who turned the ecology and economy of the village of Ralegan Siddhi around. The village has become a model of rural development through the implementation of government schemes designed for the upliftment of the rural poor. His name is synonymous with rural development and people's power.

His watershed management style is as follows:

• Conservation of water
  
• Voluntary spirit
  
• Self-reliance
  
• Education
  
• Social upliftment
  
• Women's emancipation
  
• Participation of youth
  
• Consensual politics
  
• Prohibition
  
• Family planning
  
• Ban on felling of trees
  
• Ban on open grazing
  More on Ralegan Siddhi

We have 3 days Yuva Chetna Shibir at Ahmednagar on 8, 9 & 10th June 2007 conducted by Pujya Dr. Pranav Pandya where i will get the opportunity to meet Anna Hajare and i feel this is just because of GPYGM (Gayatri Pariwar Youth Group Mumbai), i am getting this opportunity where we are taught how one can contribute to the society.

We are also playing one small play in which we are focusing on why farmers Suicide in vidarbha Maharashtra ?
