After some time you might find yourself scrolling through your social media or watching some movies. Soon you realize that the sun starts to rise and you have to go back to your morning routine. Why do some people have trouble falling asleep? A condition of <a href="https://satupersen.net/blog/macam-macam-gangguan-tidur-yang-perlu-kamu-ketahui" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">insomnia</a> is the answer. Insomnia is a disorder that forbids someone to sleep even when they have the chance. However, not everyone who can’t sleep is considered to be insomniac.

If you feel like it is a bit hard for you to sleep and you want to change your routines, consider these seven tips that can help you sleep soundly and wake up fresh the next morning. </p> <h2>1. Stick to a Regular Sleeping Schedule</h2> <figure class="wp-block-image alignwide size-large"><img width="1024" height="768" src="https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/printer-1024x768.jpg" alt="white printer paper" class="wp-image-9256" srcset="https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/printer-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/printer-300x225.jpg 300w, https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/printer-768x576.jpg 768w, https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/printer-800x600.jpg 800w, https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/printer-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/printer.jpg 1267w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <p>Healthy adults normally need about 7 to 9 hours of rest every day. Yes, we know you are busy with everything going on in your life. However, all you need is a pinch of determination combined with the discipline to make it work. You can start by categorizing yourself as an early bird or a night bird. Then, you can adjust your sleeping schedule by counting the hours that you need to rest to the time you need to wake up. Maintain your schedule to sleep and wake up with your targeted time, even on the weekends. Once you’ve settled into the routine, your body will adjust its body clock.</p> <h2>2.

Living far away from your parent on your own can be quite challenging. There are lots of considerations, hurdles, hustles and you have to be prepared both mentally and financially. The pros of living independently are, you got to start choosing your own life. Feel free if you want to work hard even stay at the office to chase your ambitions and dreams without having your parent who will disturb and questioning you. You may decorate your living for the first time. Buying furniture and be creative as you can in terms of decorating your place. Another pro of living on your own is there are no strict rules about who must clean the garden on weekends, night time, etc. It makes you more focused on yourselves. Most people call it adulting. Moving out of your house can also be a preparation ground for your married life. Since you are getting used to handling problems, money issues, etc it will make you a better soon-to-be wife or husband.</p> <p>But we do agree that in every privilege also comes great responsibility. You have to be wise about your spending. Especially if your parents do not help you any more with extra cash. You have to learn how to save, spend, and find a job that will sustain yours for the upcoming years. It also comes with you have to take care of yourself. If you are sick learn to brace yourself and be aware of your body. Another responsibility in terms of paying taxes, maintenance fees, shopping expenses, daily grocery thingy, weekend nights with friends, etc. Here we listed some of the challenges that may occur once you start to move out of your house for the first time:</p> <h2>1. Asking for Permissions</h2> <figure class="wp-block-image alignwide size-large"><img width="960" height="640" src="https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/allowes.jpg" alt="blackboard with writing" class="wp-image-8830" srcset="https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/allowes.jpg 960w, https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/allowes-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/allowes-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /><figcaption><a href="https://pixabay.com/id/illustrations/papan-sekolah-pengajaran-siswa-2353410/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow external" data-wpel-link="external"><em>Asking for Permissions</em></a></figcaption></figure> <p>Not all parent permit their children from living outside your house. Especially for Asian parents. And not to be sexist if you are a woman having permission and trust from your parents to let you live on your own can be quite tough. Women are more to rape, criminals, etc. The key is communication. Before you move you also have to prove to them that you are worthy of trust and you have goals. Show them that you are willing to grow into a more mature and self-reliant individual. The reason maybe you also want to find someplace that near your workplace and you want to train yourself. Some reasons maybe you are having family issues so it is better to set some boundaries for the sake of your mental health wellbeing. Whatever it is, communicates, and pray. </p> <h2>2. Financial Responsibility</h2> <figure class="wp-block-image alignwide size-large"><img width="960" height="647" src="https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/dollar.jpg" alt="money" class="wp-image-8832" srcset="https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/dollar.jpg 960w, https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/dollar-300x202.jpg 300w, https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/dollar-768x518.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /><figcaption><a href="https://pixabay.com/id/illustrations/dollar-uang-kertas-mata-uang-forex-2931882/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow external" data-wpel-link="external"><em>Financial Responsibility</em></a></figcaption></figure> <p>Once you start to move out from your home you have to be prepared for all the <a href="https://satupersen.net/blog/apa-itu-kebebasan-finansial-dan-bagaimana-cara-untuk-mencapainya" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">financial</a> burdens that come out. No more mindless or impulsive buying. You have to learn how much to save and spend from your income. Choosing extra jobs to help you accommodate your daily living can be helpful. This case won’t be accurate if you are still getting help from your parents regarding finances. You have to pay for your daily groceries, foods, utilities, rent fees, taxes, shopping, etc. Once you successfully tackle this issue, you will become more mature and learn self-control. Adulting sucks but this way you learn and grow so much.</p> <p class="has-text-align-center"><em>Read also : <a href="https://www.flokq.com/blog/how-to-coliving-jakarta" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-wpel-link="internal">How Coliving Can Make Your Life Awesome</a></em></p> <h2>3. Brace Yourself</h2> <p>You will learn to adapt and get into real life. Most adults are getting used to deal with real-world problems. From money issues, heartbreaks, office politics, broken stuff, changing furniture, conflicts with fellow friends, etc. When you are at home you will gain more comforts and supports from your siblings or parents. The pain or the issue will not feel to be that heavy anymore since you know they got your back. It’s different if you live outside your home. </p> <p>Loneliness is your friend. Your family can offer you moral and financial support once you get into feud or troubles. One way to solve this issue or reduce loneliness can be by having a roommate or housemate that can be your best friend or new family. You can get this type of thing by choosing a co-living type. </p> <h2>4. Daily Responsibility</h2> <figure class="wp-block-image alignwide size-large"><img width="1000" height="689" src="https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/respon.jpg" alt="responiblity word" class="wp-image-8831" srcset="https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/respon.jpg 1000w, https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/respon-300x207.jpg 300w, https://www.flokq.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/respon-768x529.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><figcaption><a href="https://www.corporatecomplianceinsights.com/present-responsibility-suspension-debarment/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow external" data-wpel-link="external"><em>Financial Responsibility</em></a></figcaption></figure> <p>When you are living under your parents’ rooftop you will come home with food under the table, sleep with the warmest blankets, and surrounded by your parents. Outside the house, you have to cook your food, tidy up your rooms, changing bed sheets, washing dishes, extra care for your apartment or house, etc. All the responsibility is yours. It trains you to be more responsible and have better time management. You will get used to being more organized since all the mess up that you make is yours to fix.</p> <h2>5.

Is it an apartment, kost, or house? All those things having their pros and cons. Living in an apartment can be quite helpful but you need extra cash for maintenance fees. In the kost you have to cook your food, and less safety. The same goes for houses, you need quite a big amount of money to rent for the house and another expense may come after that. Finding a housemate or roommate can be helpful in terms of budgets but beware if you two don’t get along well. Another extra work for living outside your home is you have to move your things and it takes time to adapt to the new environment. </p> <p>In conclusion, moving out from home is not an easy task but surely it will shape you into a better person if you do it right. If you are a fresh graduate or just in the early of your career, it is always better to stay inside your parents’ home first until you are financially stable. You will have more preparations. In the end, the choice is yours, so good luck!</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.flokq.com/blog/en/challanges-when-moving-out-from-home" data-wpel-link="internal">Adulting Challenges When Moving Out From Home for The First Time</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.flokq.com/blog/en" data-wpel-link="internal">Flokq</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.flokq.com/blog/en/challanges-when-moving-out-from-home/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>What to Expect When Entering the Startup Scene in Jakarta</title> <link>https://www.flokq.com/blog/en/startup-scene-jakarta</link> <comments>https://www.flokq.com/blog/en/startup-scene-jakarta?noamp=mobile#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Hello Flokq]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 19 Jun 2020 11:36:24 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Settling Down]]></category> <category><![CDATA[guide]]></category> <category><![CDATA[indonesia]]></category> <category><![CDATA[settling down]]></category> <category><![CDATA[startup]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.flokq.com/blog/?p=7623</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>As of 2019, the ride-sharing behemoth Gojek achieves the Decacorn title according to CBInsight’s The Global Unicorn Club, with a...</p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.flokq.com/blog/en/startup-scene-jakarta" data-wpel-link="internal">What to Expect When Entering the Startup Scene in Jakarta</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.flokq.com/blog/en" data-wpel-link="internal">Flokq</a>.</p> ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>As of 2019, the ride-sharing behemoth Gojek achieves the Decacorn title according to CBInsight’s <a href="https://www.cbinsights.com/research-unicorn-companies" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">The Global Unicorn Club</a>, with a value of 10$. Gojek, along with the other four existing Unicorns of Indonesia (Tokopedia, OVO, Bukalapak, and Traveloka), are startup success stories that propel Indonesia into rightfully taking its place as the next startup hotspot in Asia (or even the world). But what turns this relative underdog country in terms of <a href="https://www.doingbusiness.org/en/data/exploreeconomies/indonesia" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">ease of doing business</a> into a high risk-high reward arena for local and foreign startups to make their name?</p> <p>Indonesia is indeed emerging as a new competitor in the South East Asian startup against Singapore.<a href="https://theaseanpost.com/article/rise-indonesias-tech-start-scene" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer"> The ASEAN Post</a> acknowledges that Indonesia is overtaking Singapore as the most exciting startup environment, with start-ups becoming major successes <em>in spite </em>of the country’s inherent infrastructure and business environment challenges. To make things easier, here’s a glimpse of the startup scene in Indonesia.</p> <p class="has-text-align-center"><em>read more about <a href="https://www.flokq.com/blog/work-permit-for-startup-founders-and-workers-in-indonesia" data-wpel-link="internal">work permit for starup founders in Indonesia</a></em></p> <h2>Investors Interest in Indonesia’s Local Startups</h2> <p>In an <a href="https://www.indonesia-investments.com/business/business-columns/what-is-the-strength-of-the-existing-unicorns-decacorn-of-indonesia/item9237" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">article</a> published in the January release of Indonesia Investments Monthly Update, Jefri R. Sirait, Chairman of the Association of Venture Capitals for Indonesian Start-Ups (Amvesindo), remarked that Indonesia makes for a conducive environment for tech startups due to its open and healthy nature. Local startup companies draw interest not just from domestic investors, but also from large foreign startups (including but not limited to Tencent and Alibaba) to inject capital into them.</p> <p>On the other hand, Shinta Widjaja Kamdani, founder of Angel Investment Network Indonesia, found three reasons that help bolster those large investors and companies’ interest to invest in these local startups. They include the region’s positive attitude and ready willingness to adopt technical solutions, improving connectivity throughout the Archipelago, rising Internet use, and government support budding businesses including startups.</p> <h2>Indonesia’s business environment has grown fast</h2> <p>The improvement in Indonesia’s business environment was not unpredictable. In 2008 Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) in London, Indonesia, and five other countries known as CIVETS (Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey, and South Africa) were alleged to be the emerging markets whose economies would rise quickly in the upcoming decades. </p> <p>Not only do they express at a diverse and rapidly growing economy, but they also foster large populations of people under 30. These countries benefitted not only from their stable economic environment but also from the increasing concern for higher education and skill acquisition.</p> <p>But setting a startup in Indonesia is not without its challenges There are several key challenges that prospective founders, local or foreign, need to expect before building their startup in the Archipelago.</p> <h2><strong>Bureaucracy of starting a Startup company in Indonesia</strong></h2> <p>One of the most prominent problems in setting up businesses in Indonesia is its bureaucracy. It’s no secret that Indonesia’s bureaucracy is slow to adapt in comparison to the accelerating economic trends. </p> <p>Sebastian Trizcinski-Clement, Google’s head of developer relations and startup ecosystem in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, regrets the complicated and time-consuming regulations, especially for foreign investors and company founders. He estimates that it takes at least <a href="https://jakartaglobe.id/business/simpler-regulations-will-help-indonesias-stillgrowing-startup-ecosystem" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">40 days for a foreign company to establish itself in Indonesia</a>.</p> <p>Meanwhile, <a href="https://www.techinasia.com/talk/incorporating-indonesia-2018" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">Tech in Asia</a> observes that Indonesia indeed has restrictions for startups invested by or found by foreigners (private and corporate). They urge foreign startup finders to find local finders and hire a local consultant to help maneuver the (everchanging) regulations as well as overcome the language barrier since legal documents are mostly in Indonesian. </p> <p>Prospective founders that have yet to set soil in Indonesia are also strongly advised to consult market entry service providers to cover business incorporation, business address registration, and work permit applications before they start their venture in Indonesia.</p> <h2>Startups in Indonesia find it difficult to find the right talents</h2> <p>Another challenge that budding local and foreign startups face is the difficulty of finding the proper talents to hire. Since startups are growing with technology, there are more specialized jobs that are needed by them. Despite the government’s efforts to usher in an era of Education 4.0, most educational institutions still struggle to reach standard levels of quality, to say nothing of the economical gap that prevents talents from more rural areas from competing with their more privileged peers.</p> <p>But difficulties in talent acquisition is starting to become a thing of the past as Indonesia’s workforce begins to embrace talent marketplaces as well as tech startups that accommodate talent recruitment. Founders from outside and within Indonesia can acquire talents from job vacancy sites such as Kalibrr (Philippines-based) and Glints (Singapore-based). </p> <p>Indonesia has homegrown talent marketplaces as well, including Ekrut and Geekhunter. Ekrut directly accompanies employers in scouting as well as connecting them directly to suitable talents. Meanwhile, Geekhunter specializes in the recruitment of candidates with a background in IT, such as programmers and developments.</p> <p>Founders can also follow events such as <a href="https://www.mage.id/" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">MeetMagento</a> and <a href="https://www.techinasia.com/events" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">Tech in Asia</a> that help connect international startup communities with entrepreneurs, service providers, and even developers in Indonesia. Foreign investors and prospective startup founders can acquire useful knowledge on the workforce environment in Indonesia as well as set up a beneficial network with the talent recruitment startup community.</p> <h2>The infrastructures in Indonesia has huge impacts on startups</h2> <p>While the abovementioned problems are not impossible to overcome, given the right resources and connections, Indonesia’s gap in infrastructure remains a constant obstacle even to established companies. While the western parts of Indonesia, namely Sumatra, Java, and Bali, benefit from the growing focus on public infrastructure like tollways. <a href="https://greenhouse.co/blog/challenges-running-startups-indonesia/" data-wpel-link="external" rel="nofollow external noopener noreferrer">This benefits startups that deal with transportation like Grab and Gojek</a> but otherwise poses a problem to e-commerce startups that primarily rely on logistics while aiming to expand their market nationwide.</p> <p>On the other hand, prospective founders may want to set their sights elsewhere. More specifically, the mobile market. Trzcinski-Clement is optimistic that Indonesia will be more accepting of startup trends that focus on mobile platforms, such as educational technology (Edutech), financial technologies (Fintech), and mobile gaming. The mid to late 2010s prove this to be true, with the continuous scaling of Edutech giant Ruangguru and Fintech startups such as Doku, Amartha, and CekAja.com (a subsidiary of the C88 Financial Technologies group from Malaysia). Indonesia’s gaming industry has also shown much promise with Gemscool, Indonesia’s long-running game publisher that ran from 2009 until today, and Touchten Games, Indonesia’s leading game developer in the free mobile game area.</p> <p>In conclusion, Indonesia is an exciting startup environment, despite its many setbacks in infrastructure and bureaucracy. As long as you connect with the right people and a functional business model, your startup is set to navigate the Archipelago’s valuable market.</p> <p class="has-text-align-center"><em>find out more about <a href="https://www.flokq.com/blog/work-permit-indonesia-kitas" data-wpel-link="internal">work permit for investors in Indonesia </a></em></p> <p>The post <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.flokq.com/blog/en/startup-scene-jakarta" data-wpel-link="internal">What to Expect When Entering the Startup Scene in Jakarta</a> appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.flokq.com/blog/en" data-wpel-link="internal">Flokq</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.flokq.com/blog/en/startup-scene-jakarta/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss> <!-- Performance optimized by W3 Total Cache.
