Traditionally, time sheets were designed to keep track of the employees’ time management, in order to determine their productivity. Time cards or punch cards are the most bas

We love our comfort zone because it is a safe place where we can reduce our mistakes and keep our failures to a minimum. Mark Twain said, "A cat that steps on a hot stove once will never step on a hot stove again but neither will it step on a cold one."
