In meeting the demands of work and every day life, many of us can feel compelled to do all things at once, and may become overwhelmed or less effective as a result. To counter this, it is worth taking a moment to adjust our pace; to give ourselves the space to practice taking one step at a time in the ways we perform our tasks and how we manage our minds & emotions.

Single-Tasking for Productivity and Stress Management

I used to be a big fan of multi-tasking when it became a popular strategy for productivity. The idea of doubling productivity by doing multiple things at once is quite appealing for busy people, and these days most of us are busy people. However, several studies show that in most cases, multi-tasking can negatively affect productivity and efficiency. Here's how.

Sukhwinder Gill. Project Manager. Micron. Shannon Gill. Manager - Operations/Logistics. Wilmar International.

Diana has been our family financial advisor for well over a decade now. From the start, she was able to quickly understand my husband’s and my financial needs as well as the type of investments we were more keen in and would get in touch with us when an opportunity befitting our criteria arose. That is a key value addition we have benefitted from due to our busy schedules as we are able to get straight to the point in achieving our goals without wasting time. Over the years she has helped us build our financial goals according to our needs and budget. When my husband and I had our daughter, Diana stepped up and helped us figure out which plans would suit us best even before my daughter was born and that has helped us to start our protection and financial planning for her at a very early age which is advantageous from a cost and value point of view. Diana is a very knowledgeable and committed financial advisor. She has continued to consciously and proactively upgrade herself by constantly gaining more knowledge and experience in her industry in order to serve her clients better all the time. She has deep understanding of the products available and is able to not only tailor solutions according to our needs but also explain how it works in simple easy to understand language. She also shares her own personal experience and strategies which we have found to be very helpful in making our financial decisions. To top it all off Diana is a very nice and easy going person with whom you will quickly develop a friendship with. We are blessed not only to have Diana as our trusted financial advisor but also as a close friend.

I have known Diana since 2007 first as an insurance agent and later as a friend. She is a skilled financial advisor. She is well versed in her field and gives good advice. She keeps herself updated on market trends and has good knowledge of the insurance products. She gives me objective information in layman’s terms to make smart decisions that help me feel at ease. She also regularly reviews my policies with me and helps me to keep track of them. She is aware of my financial commitments and goals and recommends policies that benefit my family and me in the long run. I trust her as my financial advisor and would readily recommend her services to my relatives and friends.

Erwin Wong. Supply Chain Planner.

I've been friends with Diana since the early 2000s, and she reached out to assist in planning for my financial needs when I entered the workforce. All through the stations of my life, Diana has offered sound advice and recommendations in making financial plans for my present and future. She has done so with her wealth of skills, experiences and expertise gained in the industry. Her accolades are a testament to her talent, ability and hard work put in as a financial consultant, but when we meet to catch up on life or to do regular financial reviews, we do so as long-time friends. This makes the friendship even more heartwarming, because Diana is someone that I would trust this important aspect of my life with.

Danny Chew. Senior Operations Executive. OUB Centre Limited

Diana has been a great financial adviser and friend for the past decade. Since the first time I met up with her for the first financial review, Diana has shown the commitment of looking for positive ways to better my coverage, financial growth and retirement needs. Other than the quarterly meetups to review my coverage, there are also the constant sharing of market changes and updates of new plans Prudential has to offer. In the years of providing her expertise, she has been showing her in-depth understanding of financial planning. Along with a good listening ear, she has been recommending products to address my concerns. Unlike other financial planners, Diana is not pushy and does not focus on selling policies. Thanks to her recommendations, I am able to increase my coverage for the possible emergencies one can face in life, better my expected financial status at retirement and set my mind at ease should I ever meet with an unexpected situation. I look forward to the many more decades to come with Diana as my financial adviser.
