Decide the maximum amount of time you are willing to work in a week. It is suggested to set something like 4 days a week. You might be ambitious and shoot for 3 days, or even less. Or you might go for 5 days a week, 6 hours each day instead of 8 hours. Whatever seems ideal to you, go for it! If you have less time to do your work, how do you get that done? You have two choices: 1) work faster; or 2) do less work. It is recommended to take the second option. You need to determine what exactly you really need to accomplish within the limits you've set for yourself. If you cut your work week by 20%, for example, you need to cut out 20% of your work. That means identifying what must be done, and what can be put off. Make a short list. Do what must be done first, and don't muck around. If you have a short list of your essential tasks, take a look at what's not essential. Is there any way to eliminate it? Delegate it? Outsource it? Delay it? Think hard about this, because if you can somehow eliminate 20% of your list, you've made huge strides to meeting your self-set limits. If there's something you do every day, consider batching it all into one day. For example, you can write all your invoices at once instead of doing them every day. It saves time. You could do that with almost anything. Same thing goes for something you do throughout the day, like email or phone calls. Consider batching tasks like that into one session per day. If you have a big cut in work hours as your goal, you might not be able to accomplish it all at once. Go for a gradual change. First, set a smaller limit (maybe 1 hour less per day, for example, or only a half day on Fridays). Focus on making that first stage work, and when you've got that down, make further cuts. Keep doing this until you get to where you ultimately want to be. Setting limits on your work isn't going to work if you don't know what you want to do with that extra time. Decide on working 1 hour less each day? What are you going to do with that hour? It can be anything: fun projects, creating a side business, spending time with loved ones, reading, exercising, going to the beach, whatever. But set aside that block (or blocks) of time for something, and be sure to do it. Whether it's email, phone, IM, Skype, Twitter or whatever, you can fill your work day with communication tasks. It will fill the time allotted to it. Instead, allot a small amount of time for each vital communication method (30 minutes for IM, 30 minutes for phone, 1 hour for email, or whatever) and don't allow anything outside of that limit.

Do not panic when you hear the fire alarm. Also, it's important to stay quiet so you can hear any instructions. In fact, it's important to be quiet and calm the whole time the fire drill is happening, not just when it starts. Though you may think the fire alarm is just for practice, you should always treat it as there actually is a fire. You have to practice the drill seriously to learn the proper procedure so that when a fire does happen, you won't panic. In fact, even if a drill is scheduled, something could have happened to cause a real emergency. Always treat the drill as if it were the real thing. When you hear the alarm, you must stop anything you are doing at the time. Don't take time to finish a sentence on your paper or send an email. Don't take time to gather your things. Respond to the alarm immediately. Consider where the nearest exit is. Leave the room you are in going in that direction. Try to be as orderly as possible as you leave the room. Line up to exit the room. Don't start running. If possible, know the route to the nearest fire exit before a fire drill happens. It's always a good idea to check for your route when you're in a new building, especially one you will spend a good deal of time in. For instance, hotels are required to have the fire exit on the back of your hotel door. Under no circumstances should you ever use an elevator in an emergency evacuation. If you are the last person in a room, close the door behind you. Make sure it doesn't lock, however. When you close the door, it helps slow the fire because not as much oxygen can get in the room as quickly. It also blocks smoke and heat from entering other rooms as much. Do not turn the lights off as you exit the room. Leaving the lights on will help firefighters see better.

Choose a firm, unwrinkled root with fresh, crisp-looking leaves. These rhizomes may not be readily available since they are local only to Japan and are grown in limited areas of Canada and northwestern United States. However, check your local Asian grocery stores for availability. If you can't find fresh wasabi rhizome, look for the ground powder and try that recipe instead. You do not need the leaves to make wasabi paste. The leaves do not necessarily need to be discarded, howeverthey can be eaten and make a flavorful addition to salads. Wash the outside of the rhizome with cool water to get rid of any dirt and debris. Use a sharp knife to trim off any odd bumps, discolorations, and marks. Then, lay the root on a paper towel and let it air-dry. If you're in a hurry, you can pat the exterior dry with a clean paper towel. This recipe has no other ingredients, so the amount of fresh wasabi you shave off the root is the amount of paste you'll end up with. Use slow, circular motions to grate the root to release its intense flavor compounds. Be sure to choose a sharp grater with small teeth. The fine teeth on the grater will create the paste-like consistency. Use your fingers to form and press the wasabi into a tight ball. Then, let the paste sit 1-2 minutes to allow the flavor to develop. Be sure to wash your hands after handling wasabi. If you accidentally touch your eyes or nose without washing them, it will burn. Prolonged contact with your skin will cause irritation. Place the ball of paste on the side of your main dish or in a separate bowl and serve it right away for the best flavor. Fresh wasabi starts losing its potency after being exposed to air for 20 minutes. Storing the fresh paste isn't recommended, so make as much as you need for 1 meal and enjoy it right away.
