Don’t get drowned in pressing things

There are always reports to be made, presentations to be done, textbooks to read. There are always a countless things to do, and they are the most inviting. Why? They demand action, they are NOW! DO THIS. It is very easy to get drowned in them, lose focus of what you really want to do, end up firefighting forever. At the end of the day, you may get satisfied with what you have done today, only to worry about what’s to be done tomorrow.

So how can we break out of this endless cycle? We can always find time to invest in ourselves. We can devote time to do two things- what we feel good, and things that will do us a lot of good.

First one- How often do we consider doing things which we really like, be it as simple as novels, sing, paint, write or whatever we are good at. What stops us from doing it. One of my friends asked me how I get time to blog amidst my busy schedule. Well, you read because it shows well on your acads, you do projects because your prof asks for it, (may be bath and brush because others ask you to!), what about giving one hour for yourself?

Second one- Consider reading papers. How much time do we devote per day, and how frequent do we do this? How about calling up our friends and relatives, investing in people?

It is easy to pass them on, procrastinate. These are things which don’t say NOW, though we all know the benefits we get from them, be it hone your skills, increase knowledge base or get benefits from ‘emotional deposits’ (to quote Stephen covey).

So why do I write blog? I need a little space for myself, but more importantly I CRAVE FOR A LITTLE PAT ON THE BACK! Heck, everyone do.

Lastly, hmmm.. Read the first line.
