8 Things women desperately want from men

Superman: Women love to be protected. So show in more ways than one to prove that you will be her saviour should your damsel land in distress! Women are always in awe of men who can step up in times of conflicts. Be sure you grab every opportunity that situation throws at you

Smell good: Deodorant Ads may be going overboard showing men being lured by women's perfume. But the other way is also true. Choose a deo that suits you. Especially if it's your first date, it's best not to try anything experimental. Know what smells best on you. Remember, what smelt heavenly on your friend might stink on your skin! For everything depends on your body odour. When you spray perfume on your body, what you smell is a combination of the deo spray and your body odour. Choose wise.

Surprises galore: Women love surprises be it chocolates, love notes, gifts or even a bouquet of flowers. Women don't mind them in any numbers. You are sure to score brownie points with this one!

Transparency: Honesty is still the best policy. Never lie to her if you are thinking of a long-term relationship. Never mind you will face some initial flak, but eventually you will win over her trust.

Perfect body: What with the celebrities being obsessed with getting a six pack or eight pack abs, girls too go ga ga over men with a well-toned body. Get into the habit of regular workout so you can make heads turn!

Dress well: Nothing turns off a women than a poorly-dressed man. Do a style-check, spot the trends in fashion, speak to a stylist to find out what looks best on you. Clothes maketh man literally!

Crowning glory: Nothing like a funky haircut! A good hairstyle can give you a different look altogether. What are you waiting for? Get that stunner look so you can impress that chick you have been eyeing.

Magic of your hands: You might have taken your girlfriend to the hottest restaurants in town, yet she will not mind if you can cook one of her favourite dishes (or even plain instant noodles) when she's hungry. Such moments are never forgotten.

There's a joke doing the rounds that 'A woman's mind is cleaner than a man's That's because she changes it more often'. However, there are some things that remain constant.

The Power and Importance of a Weekly Review

                              ALWAYS MAKE A WEEKLY REVIEW

I could argue that the single-most important thing I do all week to keep myself focused and productive is the weekly review.
My process is based on the more extensive Weekly Review (capitalization added for emphasis and importance) in David Allen’s Getting Things Done system.  My version is a bit shorter, but in my opinion still highly valuable and easier to emulate (as well as stick with on a regular basis).
It starts with a comprehensive inventory of projects.  I keep these in Outlook Tasks tagged as “Projects – Active”.  For me, a project is anything that’s more than one task.  Something I can’t or won’t get done right away.
These projects cover a lot of ground.  All work-related projects (for the business, for clients, for staff, etc.), all household projects, things I need to do in my personal life, etc.  I use this as a safety net to keep track of all the more comprehensive things I want to get done.  Oftentimes, if I come up with a project in the middle of the week that doesn’t need to be worked on right away, I’ll add it to the Project list and literally “forget about it” until the next weekly review.
I do also have a “Projects – Someday” list that’s full of things I eventually want to do.  I typically review this list quarterly to see if anything needs to be moved to the Active list.
So, Sunday night.  Dinner, get kids to bed, pour a nice little Scotch.
I print out that Active Projects list so I have it physically in front of me.  I have it alphabetized by topic so it’s easier to work through.  For example, something that’s a Heinz Marketing project might be titled “Heinz Marketing: Holiday Party Planning”.  Sometimes a project will have notes included or attached, sometimes not.
Then, with Scotch in hand, I work through each Project on the list one by one.  At each step, I do one of the following:
  • Identify an immediate next steps for my task list:  If it’s something I haven’t worked on yet or in awhile, I quickly identify the immediate next thing I need to do – the tactical, single next task – to move that project forward.  Typcially this gets assigned to myself as a to-do later in the week.  I don’t worry about whatever task comes after that.  This usually gets notated once the first task is complete, or there’s next week’s review to pick it back up again.
  • Make a note to ask for an update on something I’m waiting for: Sometimes I’m waiting for a deliverable or update from someone else, and the weekly review helps me remember to ask for and get that more quickly.
  • Confirm (on paper or in my head) that I already have the right next step in my task list:  Self-explanatory.
  • Defer to next week: This happens quite often. Many things on my active project list just aren’t going to get attention in the coming week given other priorities.  In this case, I give myself permission to literally forget about it until the following week’s review
  • Delete the project: If it’s been completed, it’s gone. Sometimes projects get moved to the “someday” folder, but most of the time they stay active until they are completed.
What results from this is typically a fairly full to-do list for the coming week.  But it gives me confidence that I’m focusing on the right things, and not letting anything fall through the cracks.
During the week, new projects get added.  Sometimes that comes with an immediate first to-do on my task list, sometimes I just wait until the next weekly review.
I think of this as my weekly safety net.  If I’m focused, I can typically get this done in 30 minutes or so.

If you do something similar, I’d love to hear about it.  And if you give this one a shot, I’d love to hear how it goes!
