I slept late due to over exhaustion last night. Yes, I couldn't sleep when I'm extremely exhausted. Still I woke up early. Before 6am. Stayed in bed a bit and decided to open mylot. Today I feel inspired. I want to go to the office early. I'll be interviewing more than 10 applicants for one job position, Secretary. My secretary is resigning due to health reasons and I need a new one to replace her. I was surprised by the number of applicants that sent their resumes and I will have to choose one that fits my requirements. I hope that I'll be able to find that perfect person for the job.

Good luck in doing so Toni. Since there are quite a few, that is good as you can take your pic of the best and narrow it down. Sorry to hear your secretary is sick. What inspires me is my creativity.

I always found you inspiring in the way you are able to do so much. But now I see that you have six hands and now know how you are able to do all you do. I hope you find the perfect secretary!

As this is your personal Secretary I think it will be more a matter of feeling than curriculum. I wish you good luck to find the right person.

Thank you, I'm surprised but the number of people who showed up and most of them are desperate to have a job, but I need someone who would be passionate with their work.

Lately, I haven't been inspired much. Have been gaming a lot more and stuff. But I did do something different today to help me get back on track. What motivated me was getting away from what I was doing and just thinking about what I'm doing. And then I just got myself to do the task that I was procrastinating and that helped me get back on track. So I think thinking about your situation, taking action, and getting results can be inspiring. You can also look to your past for inspiration. You've had tough times back then but you made it through, so why not once more? You can also recall your strengths and see how they fit in with what you have to do. And I think using affirmations to reinforce good ideas about yourself is another good strategy. Simply tell yourself good things about yourself and reassure yourself. This will help you fight your inner critic.

@toniganzon good to know that you support PWD. If I can't be your secretary, can I be your close-in executive assistant?

I wish you the best in finding the right secretary. I get inspired by different things. One is coming to mylot and reading discussions. Sometimes someone will say something that makes me decide to do a craft or something that I like to do.

The amount of sleep you get plays a big part in how inspired I am. Today after only 3 hours of sleep, I was not inspired much at all.

A lady who owns a few businesses, told us her trick, she would dress up as a young team member and passed by the applicants to check their reactions. Hope you get the right candidate for the job.

@YrNemo the spy is one of the owners. Can't sack him unless he sells his shares to me.

@toniganzon Then the chance that you get a good one is very high, congrats. (fail that, you would have to sack your spy for giving you wrong info .)
