FDA Protection on Birth Control Pills

FDA Protection on Birth Control Pills

Having children will give us huge responsibilities in our life. If you are not ready with the responsibilities that you will get from your babies, birth control becomes an effective option to prevent it. However, taking birth control drugs mean that you are disturbing your body’s system. It can cause serious problem to your health.

FDA was found to protect us from dangerous drugs. It had better to give us better protection from birth control pills. You might have heard about birth control pills that have taken more then 50 women’s lives. These Yaz problems are not supposed to happen if FDA put stricter regulation over these drugs. It has to create new regulation that can give better protection for consumers on taking their birth control pills.

Women mostly become the victim of birth control pills. These pills disturb their body system and make them sick or even lose their lives. FDA has the power to prevent it from happening. It has to watch over list prescription drugs on the market. It must evaluate the formula on these drugs and the effects on our body. Then, it has to make sure that consumers can only find safe drugs on the market.

Time Management for Writers

By Terescia Harvey

My battle with time management

As difficult as time management for the writer is, not having time to write is even more difficult to deal with. My own personal war with making time to write hasn’t yet been won. But I’ve won some battles. And that’s what I want to share with you, ways to manage your time so you have more time to write.

I started by buying some books about organizing. I really thought it would help if I had an organized workplace and that if I could cut down on the amount of housekeeping I did, I would have tons more time.

So I purchased It’s Here…Somewhere by Alice Fulton and Pauline Hatch, Organizing from the Inside Out: The Foolproof System for Organizing Your Home, Your Office, and Your Life by Julie Morgenstern, and from my local library, checked out the audiotape of Getting Organized : The Easy Way to Put Your Life in Order by Stephanie Winston.

Turns out it was a good theory, but I couldn’t prove it. The books were all excellent, but my own procrastinator’s spirit caused me to fail at many of the tasks the books’ authors suggested. Still, after a few months of frenzied organizing and decluttering, I had a lot less stuff to deal with. Too bad I still didn’t have any more time. In fact, now that I was “organized” I swear I had less time than I had before. So it wasn’t long before I gave up on being organized.

What was I going to do? I was going insane with the need to finish my first book, but I never seemed to have any time to work on it!

Then it hit me, like a ton of bricks, a bolt of lightning, a smack in the face–the proverbial kick in the @$$.

It turned out that there wasn’t anything to do, except do nothing.

The battles I won–you can win them too!

Nothing has to be cut out 100%, but trimming 50% of these time hogs will really give you more time for life’s important things (such as writing!). And be honest about it. If writing is important, you’ll find the time. I have.

* No reorganizing–it’s a time waster most of the time. The only time it isn’t is when you’re willing to make lifestyle changes. Drastic lifestyle changes. And don’t believe anyone who tells you different.
* No TV. I have certain shows I wouldn’t miss for the world, but those you only watch because it happens to come on next…skip it. Get your bottom in a chair, in front of your computer, at the table, wherever, and start writing.
* No reading–at least while you should be writing.
* No volunteering!

Oh, yeah, NO internet! Email is a wonderful way to keep in touch, but if you let it, it will suck up every spare moment you have. The best advice I can give you is to limit checking email to 3 times a day. Set a schedule and stick to it.
Treat your writing as the job it is. Think about it. Would you ever tell your boss you couldn’t finish that report because you had to put away your clean dishes? I don’t think so, not unless that IS part of your job. Really.
