What goes through your mind?
As you sit there looking at me
Well I can tell from your looks
That you think I’m so oppressed
But I don’t need for you to liberate me

My head is not bare
And you can’t see my covered hair
So you sit there and you stare
And you judge me with your glare
You’re sure I’m in despair
But are you not aware
Under this scarf that I wear
I have feelings, and I do care

CHORUS:
So don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity...

My modesty
My integrity
So don’t judge me
Open your eyes and see...
“Why can’t you just accept me?” she says
“Why can’t I just be me?” she says
Time and time again
You speak of democracy
Yet you rob me of my liberty
All I want is equality
Why can’t you just let me be free?

For you I sing this song
My sister, may you always be strong
From you I’ve learnt so much
How you suffer so much
Yet you forgive those who laugh at you
You walk with no fear
Through the insults you hear
Your wish so sincere
That they’d understand you
But before you walk away
This time you turn and say:

But don’t you see?
That I’m truly free
This piece of scarf on me
I wear so proudly
To preserve my dignity
My modesty
My integrity
So let me be
She says with a smile
I’m the one who’s free

For busy people

For busy people, keeping track of everything that needs to be done is very difficult. If you are the type of person who has a lot to do or is simply forgetful, setting a schedule for yourself and using a daily planner to coordinate activities will keep your day flowing smoothly.

Daily planners come in several varieties. People should pick one suited to their individual needs. If you need to schedule your day into hourly increments (normal for business people), a planner divided into hours for you may be appropriate. However, if your activities are varied and follow uneven time increments, a planner with unlabeled pages or sections will be fine.

Always specify what time a certain activity/task is to be started and what time you should be done with it. This limits the amount of time wasted on useless activities. Schedule everything for a set amount of time and daily tasks will be more time-efficient because you will be conscious of how you are spending your time.

When planning your day, be realistic with the time you allot for each activity. Many people have the tendency to underestimate the time needed to complete a task because they don’t account for delays - time spent waiting in line, sitting in traffic, or doing other things that go with the larger task at hand.

Add time cushions to the schedule where there is a reasonable chance of a delay. This may include, but is not limited to, rush hour traffic, long lines at the store, limited parking or even people who talk a long time. This will make your day less hectic and keep you on schedule.

If it is a day when you don’t have to get up at a specified time, especially a Saturday, make sure to wake up in time to complete everything on your list. Most people tend to sleep in late, and if you have an extremely busy day planned, it may be simple enough to get started too late to get everything done. Write a note to yourself at the end of each day, reminding you what time you should get out of bed the next morning.

Try to combine more than one task into one. Examples: run the washing machine while you are taking your child to practice; get ready for your lunch break while calling a client; check your email while writing tomorrow’s schedule (computer pages sometimes take a few minutes to load); call home while sitting in traffic; do homework while waiting at the doctor’s office. This will give you more time to concentrate on more important activities. Keeping a schedule:

-Keeps track of things that need to be done.

-Makes sure you know how long each task should take.

-Lets you know if you’re running behind.

-Reminds you of the little things that you could be doing when you

are delayed in doing something else.

Now that you know how to effectively schedule your day and the benefits of doing so, remember to always use a planner and never worry about what needs to get done again!
