Use VLOOKUP when you need to find things in a table or a range by row. For example, look up the price of an automotive part by the part number, or find an employee name based on their employee ID.

In its simplest form, the VLOOKUP function says:

=VLOOKUP(What you want to look up, where you want to look for it, the column number in the range containing the value to return, return an Approximate or Exact match – indicated as 1/TRUE, or 0/FALSE).

The HLOOKUP function syntax has the following arguments:

1. Lookup_Value: Required. The value to be found in the first row of the table. Lookup_value can be a value, a reference, or a text string.

2. Table_Array: Required. A table of information in which data is looked up. Use a reference to a range or a range name.

3. Row_Index_Num: Required. The row number in table_array from which the matching value will be returned.

4. [Range_Lookup]: Optional. A logical value that specifies whether you want HLOOKUP to find an exact match or an approximate match. The first one is TRUE (1), which finds an approximate match from the table, and the second one is FALSE (0), which finds the exact match from the table.

Relaxation encourages a healthy mind and body. But that does not mean that we can relax infinitely some stress is also important. There should be a balance between stress and relaxation.

Here are some points to explain why it is important to relax:
Relaxation slowers the heart rate. Thereby giving our hearts some rest. This in turn avoids many heart risk factors like hypertension, stroke, and broken heart syndrome.

It improves the skin by easing acne problems. Stress leads to skin breakouts and other skin related issues. Whereas if you relax the skin also relaxes and gets some time to recover from the earlier stress.

By relaxing we encourage the increase of blood flow to the muscles. Thereby providing more energy, better metabolism, and improves your memory.

Relaxation helps you to achieve a clear and calm mind. Your thought process is more positive and helps you in making a better decision.

What is freelancing?

A freelance job is one where a person works for themselves, rather than for a company. While freelancers do take on contract work for companies and organizations, they are ultimately self-employed.

Freelancers are responsible for all sorts of things that traditional employees are not, such as setting their work hours, keeping track of time spent on different projects, billing clients, and paying their own employment and business taxes. Freelancers are not considered “employees” by the companies they work for, but rather “contractors.”

Achieving what you want is absolutely possible. You just need to fall in love with consistency and start taking a step each day towards reaching your goals.

And you need to eliminate the things that not only slow your progress but which keep you from moving forward.

Here they are:

1. Perfectionism

So many people have deep desires within themselves and truly want to achieve certain things in life. But they are greedy and unappreciative even before they receive them, and want much more than they deserve.

2. Failure

Most people fear it, they don’t even try because of the chance of not succeeding. And that’s why they never see their dreams come true.

The truth is, failure is a precious gift. It’s an inevitable step on your way to success, and a step you need to take more than once.

It’s the proof that you’re trying, you’re doing something to get what you want, and you’re not giving up.

3. Focusing on the end result

I know you’re eager to reach your goals. There’s just something inside us that makes us impatient and whatever it is that we want, we want it right away.

But you also need to realize that things just don’t work that way. And the best you can do is enjoy the process and focus less on the end result.

4. Taking big steps

There’s a certain path you’ll need to walk before you get there. And its purpose is to make you strong enough to handle the success that’s waiting for you.

That path consists of many steps. Small ones – because the big ones make us worry, fear, and not even try.

So divide your goals into small steps, then into even smaller ones, until you have a list of simple tasks to do each day. And make them so easy and quick that it will be impossible to say no.

5. Excuses

You may often hear yourself say some of the following:

I’m not ready;
It’s not the right time;
I’m not good enough;
I’m too old/young;
I don’t have enough money/time/experience;
Most people don’t succeed anyway, neither will I;
Maybe I’m not meant to do it;
It’s too hard;
It will take too long;
I may do it wrong;
People will laugh at me;
or else.

When that happens, stop and reflect on why you’re saying this.

Realize that your mind is tricky and prefers to stay in its comfort zone, doing the same old activities and tasks on autopilot, and not try anything new. That’s why it’s making up all these excuses, that can often sound quite convincing.

6. Procrastination

It’s another thing that stops us from taking action towards our goals. So it’s another thing we need to give up.

Keep in mind one thing: now is the best time to do what you want, any other time is later than now.

7. Expectations

Stop expecting so much. It’s a destructive behavior that brings deep disappointment in your life.

8. Distractions

There will be people who will doubt you, who will make you lose hope if you listen to them.

9. Lack of consistency

That’s a big one.

Because whatever you do, if you don’t do it each day, you won’t see any progress.

Consistency is the trait of successful people, and it becomes a habit, as everything else.

We commonly spend our time focused on what we don’t have rather than what we do have. Because of this, we don’t take the time to consider the small things that bring us happiness and make our lives better every day.

At this point of the year, due to the pandemic (COVID-19), we get the chance to concentrate on the things that we usually deem granted.
