Today, I woke up 3 hours later than I intended to. Which sucks even more seeing as I intended to wake up at 10.
(In my defense, the day before yesterday, I stayed out to 2 because of Avengers Endgame. My sleep schedule was horrifyingly jacked, I was down about $8, and my sister got mad at me because of how long I stayed out. Worth it though).
Despite this, it is 7 pm on a Saturday (at the time of writing) and I am near the end of wrapping up my to-do list. And yet, I just complained about my inability to work in the last post.
What changed?
Well for one, I guess I have kind of figured out that my brain gets active at around five in the evening. You know, that time when people are wrapping up their work. That's when brain is like, "You know what? I will actually process information now!"
The second is I am making headway on some thoughts concerning productivity, fun and use of time. My mind is still mulling over the details but so far here are my thoughts:
- I will have fun that I want and not deny myself because
- I am a person and not just a student, or potential hire for some company (hi Exxon Mobil)
- the fun I have will be decisive and not mindless Instagram scrolling
- I will have goals that I like and hence I will work on them
- I will make time for me, myself, my loves, my ambitions, my family, friends and last but not least, my God.
I feel like making posts on the previous thoughts. But I am also risking sounding like some productivity, life-hack guru. But I don't want to be. I just want to live life in a way that is meaningful to me. And maybe help others along the way.
The question is though: How will I carry this perspective and actions to the whirlpool that is college?
