"Load shedding has made me more disciplined. I now devote time to books. The biggest benefit is that I get enough time to sleep... usually I'd be sitting at the computer."u00a0
Tips:

> Get up early and finish all your work before the sun sets.

'Enough of luxury'
"We have lost business due to load shedding as there is no electricity. Inverters don't work for professions (beauty parlour) like ours.
