Ukugcina imithi yakho ihlelekile

Uma uthatha imithi eminingi ehlukene, ungakuthola kunzima ukuyigcina iqondile. Ungakhohlwa ukuthatha umuthi wakho, uthathe umthamo ongafanele, noma uwaphuze ngesikhathi esingalungile.

Funda amanye amathiphu okwenza ukuthatha yonke imithi yakho kube lula.

Dala uhlelo lokuhlela oluzokusiza wehlise amaphutha ngomuthi wakho. Nayi eminye imibono.

SEBENZISA UMHLELI WEPHILISI

Ungathenga umhleli wamaphilisi esitolo sezidakamizwa noma ku-inthanethi. Kunezinhlobo eziningi. Cela usokhemisi ukuthi akusize ukhethe umhleli ozokusebenzela kangcono kakhulu.

Izinto okufanele ucabange ngazo lapho ukhetha umhleli wamaphilisi:

• Inani lezinsuku, njengosayizi wezinsuku ezingu-7, 14, noma 28.
• Inani lamakamelo wosuku ngalunye, njenge-1, 2, 3, noma ama-4 compartments.
• Isibonelo, uma uphuza umuthi amahlandla ama-4 ngosuku, ungasebenzisa umgqugquzeli wamaphilisi wezinsuku eziyi-7 onamagumbi amane ngosuku ngalunye (ekuseni, emini, kusihlwa nangesikhathi sokulala). Gcwalisa umhleli wamaphilisi ukuze uhlale izinsuku eziyi-7. Abanye abahleli bamaphilisi bakuvumela ukuthi ukhiphe amaphilisi abiza usuku olulodwa. Ungakuphatha lokhu uma uphume usuku lonke. Ungasebenzisa futhi umhleli wepilisi wezinsuku ezi-7 ohlukile ngezikhathi ezine zosuku. Faka ilebula ngayinye nesikhathi sosuku.

SEBENZISA UMSEBENZI WOKUSEBENZISWA KWEPHILISI NGOKUZENZAKALELAYO

Ungathenga umshini wokuhambisa iphilisi othomathikhi online. Lezi zihambisi:

• Bamba amaphilisi abiza izinsuku ezingu-7 kuya kwezingu-28.
• Khipha amaphilisi ngokuzenzakalela kuze kube izikhathi ezine ngosuku.
• Yiba nesibani esicwayizayo ne-alamu yomsindo ukukukhumbuza ukuthi uphuze amaphilisi akho.
• Qalisa ngamabhethri. Shintsha amabhethri njalo.
• Udinga ukugcwaliswa ngomuthi wakho. Ungayigcwalisa ngokwakho, noma ube nomngane omethembayo, isihlobo, noma usokhemisi ugcwalise umhlinzeki.
• Ungakuvumeli ukuthi ukhiphe umuthi. Lokhu kungaba yinkinga uma uzophuma.

SEBENZISA AMAMAKI WEMIBALA KUMABHODLELA WAKHO WEMITHI

Sebenzisa umaki wombala ukufaka ilebula emithini yakho ngesikhathi sosuku oyiphuzayo. Ngokwesibonelo:

• Faka uphawu oluhlaza emabhodleleni emithi oyiphuzayo ngesikhathi sasekuseni.
• Faka uphawu olubomvu emabhodleleni emithi oyiphuzayo ngesikhathi sokudla kwasemini.
• Faka uphawu oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka emabhodleleni emithi oyiphuzayo ngesikhathi sokudla kwakusihlwa.
• Faka uphawu lwolintshi emabhodleleni emithi owaphuzayo ngesikhathi sokulala.

DALA IREKHODI LOMTHETHO

Bhala uhlu lomuthi, uwuthatha ngasikhathi sini, bese ushiya indawo ozomaka kuyo uma uthatha umuthi ngamunye.

Faka ohlwini noma imiphi imishanguzo kadokotela, imishanguzo yokuthenga, namavithamini, amakhambi nezithako ozisebenzisayo. Faka phakathi:

• Igama lomuthi
• Incazelo yalokho ekwenzayo
• Umthamo
• Izikhathi zosuku uyithatha
• Okuqhamuka uma udla imishanguzo

Letha uhlu nemithi yakho emabhodleleni abo kwabezempilo lapho ubabhalela nalapho uya ekhemisi.

• Lapho wazi umhlinzeki wakho kanye nosokhemisi wakho, uzothola kulula ukukhuluma nabo. Ufuna ukuxhumana okuhle ngemithi yakho.
• Buyekeza uhlu lwakho lwezidakamizwa nomhlinzeki wakho noma usokhemisi.
• Buza ukuthi ngabe kukhona yini izinkinga ngokuthatha noma yimiphi imithi yakho ndawonye.
• Yazi ukuthi wenzeni uma uphuthelwa umthamo wakho. Isikhathi esiningi, uyaqhubeka uthathe umthamo olandelayo uma usufanele. Ungathathi umthamo ophindwe kabili. Buza umhlinzeki wakho noma usokhemisi.

Shayela umhlinzeki uma uku:

• Awuqinisekile ukuthi wenzeni uma uphuthelwe noma ukhohlwe umuthi wakho.
• Unenkinga yokukhumbula ukuthatha umuthi wakho.
• Unenkinga yokuphuza imithi eminingi. Umhlinzeki wakho angakwazi ukunciphisa eminye imithi yakho. Unganciphisi noma uyeke ukuthatha noma yimiphi imithi ngokwakho. Khuluma nomhlinzeki wakho kuqala.
