A Monthly Curated Newsletter

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.

Testimonials and Referral Notes

Haidil (Civil servant)

I met Syamim as he was the financial advisor to many of my friends and colleagues. The financial planning and projection of my goals through his excel sheet allowed me to balance and plan my goals not only for the short term but also for the longer term. In addition, I got to know the importance of having adequate insurance cover in order to live my life without worries. Syamim was different to other advisors that I have met as he went through the extra mile to personalize his solutions to my needs and situation and makes the effort to conduct yearly reviews to ensure I am on track with my goals. I would definitely recommend others to meet Syamim

Syahir (Civil Servant)

Syamim is a very trustworthy individual and is always professional to work with. He ensures that I can build up a financial plan that enables me to reach my goals. The meeting with Syamim helps me feel confident that I am well covered in terms of wealth protection and accumulation. I would most definitely recommend everyone to meet Syamim as it is beneficial for the future.

Zulaikha (Teacher)

I met Syamim through recommendation by a friend and since then, we clicked well and he was easy to talk to. I found his explanation to be very detailed and clear, making sure I fully understand all the proposals. My experience with Syamim was different from other financial advisors I met as Syamim was very transparent and understanding of my financial status. I would definitely recommend meeting Syamim

Akmal (Software Analyst)

I’ve known Syamim since 2013 and he’s always been giving me advice on my finances and career plans informally when we’re out with friends. Once I started working and had lots of questions about adulting it only felt natural to ask him for advice as he’s someone I meet regularly and also someone I could trust. The simplest things like goal setting and financial planning (down to the daily expenditure) are the most helpful to me because it keeps me on track every day and reminds me what my priorities are in life. Syamim also helps me decide on my end goals and suggests all the steps I need to take in between to make it happen. Syamim caters his advice based on my current situation and the things I aim to achieve, instead of providing generic, scripted plans. Our goals change a lot during the course of our lives and he doesn’t turn my opinions/dreams down but always helps to plan the next steps to move forward. He lays all the options down on the table and makes it clear that ultimately I decide on what to do next as there’s no definite right or wrong as long as you’re optimistic and plan ahead. I would definitely recommend meeting Syamim for a quick chat. 10/10

Elly (Finance executive)

I chose to meet Syamim because I wanted a true financial advisor—someone who provides genuine advisory service rather than a typical insurance salesperson approach. The most beneficial part of our meeting was how clearly he explained the policies I had signed up for, the coverage I currently hold, and the financial projections for my portfolio. It gave me a much better understanding of where I stand and what I should plan for moving forward. This experience was significantly better than my previous financial planning sessions. My past agent tended to hard-sell without taking the time to understand my needs, but Syamim did the opposite. He took the time to learn about my situation before giving thoughtful advice. Yes, I would definitely recommend this meeting to others.

Jasmine (HR Executive)

Syamim is a dedicated and thoughtful Financial Advisor. He listens to my queries and addresses each of them professionally. Putting clients’ interest and needs first, he keeps up with the global financial situation and shares with us on the challenges economically. He is attentive to my needs and wants and plans accordingly to attain both personal and financial goals. Will gladly recommend Syamim’s service to my friends.
