Sebenzisa kakhulu ukuvakashelwa udokotela wakho

Ukuvakasha nomhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo yisikhathi esihle sokwabelana ngezinkinga zezempilo nokubuza imibuzo. Ukulungiselela kusengaphambili ukuqokwa kwakho kungakusiza ukuthi uthole okuhle kakhulu ngesikhathi sakho ndawonye.

Lapho ubona umhlinzeki wakho, thembeka ngezimpawu zakho nangendlela ophila ngayo. Buza imibuzo ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi uyaqonda. Ukuthatha iqhaza elibonakalayo empilweni yakho kungakusiza uthole ukunakekelwa okuhle kakhulu.

Ngaphambi kokuvakasha kwakho, bhala phansi imibuzo nokukhathazeka kwakho. Ungahle ufune ukubuza izinto ezinjengalezi:

• Ngabe kufanele noma yikuphi ukuhlolwa kokuhlolwa?
• Ngiqhubeke nokudla lo muthi?
• Yini engadala izimpawu zami?
• Nginazo ezinye izindlela zokwelashwa?
• Ingabe kufanele ngikhathazeke ngomlando wami wezokwelapha womndeni?

Futhi qiniseka ukuthi ubhala phansi yonke imithi, amavithamini, kanye nezithako ozithathayo. Faka nemithi ethengelwe kanye nezengezo zamakhambi. Letha lolu hlu lapho uzoqokwa khona.

Uma unezimpawu, bhala phansi imininingwane ngaphambi kokuvakasha.

• Chaza izimpawu zakho
• Chaza ukuthi zivela nini futhi kuphi
• Chaza ukuthi unesikhathi esingakanani unezimpawu nokuthi sezishintshile yini

Faka amanothi esikhwameni sakho semali noma esikhwameni semali ukuze ungakhohlwa ukuwaletha. Ungafaka futhi amanothi efonini yakho noma kwi-imeyili kumhlinzeki wakho. Ukubhala izinto phansi kwenza kube lula ukukhumbula imininingwane ngesikhathi sokuvakasha kwakho.

Uma udinga ukwesekwa, mema umngani noma ilungu lomndeni ukuthi lihambe nawe. Bangakusiza uqonde futhi ukhumbule okufanele ukwenze.

Qiniseka ukuthi unekhadi lakho lomshuwalense ngesikhathi sokuvakasha kwakho. Tshela ihhovisi uma umshwalense wakho ushintshile.

Lokho okwenzayo nokuthi uzizwa kanjani kungayithinta impilo yakho. Nazi ezinye izinto ofuna ukuwabelana ngazo.

Impilo iyashintsha. Lokhu kungafaka:

• Umsebenzi uyashintsha
• Izinguquko zomndeni, njengokufa, isehlukaniso, noma ukutholwa
• Usongo noma izenzo zodlame
• Uhambo oluhleliwe ngaphandle kwezwe (uma kwenzeka udinga amashothi)
• Imisebenzi emisha noma ezemidlalo

Umlando wezokwelapha. Dlula noma yiziphi izimo zempilo ezedlule noma zamanje noma ukuhlinzwa. Tshela umhlinzeki wakho nganoma yimuphi umlando womndeni wesifo.

Ukungezwani komzimba. Tshela umhlinzeki wakho nganoma yikuphi ukungezwani komzimba okwedlule noma kwamanje noma yiziphi izimpawu zokungezwani komzimba ezintsha.

Imithi nezithasiselo. Yabelana ngohlu lwakho ngesikhathi sakho. Tshela umhlinzeki wakho uma unemiphumela engemihle evela emithini yakho. Buza ngemiyalo ekhethekile yemithi oyiphuzayo:

• Ngabe kukhona ukuxhumana okungenzeka noma imiphumela emibi?
• Ngabe umuthi ngamunye wenzani?

Imikhuba yokuphila. Thembeka ngemikhuba yakho, umhlinzeki wakho ngeke akuhlulele. Utshwala nezidakamizwa kungaphazamisa imithi noma kubangele izimpawu ezithile. Ukusebenzisa ugwayi kukubeka engcupheni yezinkinga eziningi zempilo. Umhlinzeki wakho udinga ukwazi ngayo yonke imikhuba yakho ukuze akuphathe kahle.

Izimpawu. Yabelana ngamanothi akho mayelana nezimpawu zakho. Buza umhlinzeki wakho:

• Yikuphi ukuhlolwa okungasiza ukuthola inkinga?
• Ziyini izinzuzo nezingozi zokuhlolwa nezindlela zokwelashwa?
• Kufanele ushayele nini umhlinzeki wakho uma izimpawu zakho zingathuthuki?

Ukuvimbela. Buza ukuthi ngabe kunezivivinyo zokuhlola noma imigomo okufanele ube nayo. Ngabe kukhona ushintsho lwendlela yokuphila okufanele uyenze? Yini ongayilindela ngemiphumela?

Landelela. Buza umhlinzeki wakho ukuthi kufanele uhlele nini ama-aphoyintimenti amaningi.

Umhlinzeki wakho angafuna ukuthi:

• Bheka onguchwepheshe
• Yenza isivivinyo
• Thatha umuthi omusha
• Hlela ukuvakashelwa okuningi

Ukuze uthole imiphumela emihle, landela imiyalo yomhlinzeki wakho. Thatha imishanguzo njengoba uyalelwe, futhi uye kunoma yimaphi ama-aphoyintimenti okulandelela.

Bhala phansi noma yimiphi imibuzo emisha ngempilo yakho, imithi noma ukwelashwa kwakho. Qhubeka nokugcina irekhodi lanoma yiziphi izimpawu nayo yonke imithi yakho.

Kufanele ushayele umhlinzeki wakho lapho:

• Unemiphumela engemihle evela emithini noma ekwelashweni
• Unezimpawu ezintsha, ezingachazeki
• Izimpawu zakho ziba zimbi kakhulu
• Unikezwa imiyalo emisha evela komunye umhlinzeki
• Ufuna imiphumela yokuhlolwa
• Unemibuzo noma okukhathazayo
