The One About the Extremities of Obsession

You know that feeling of surrealism when you just wake up from an afternoon nap? Before you unintentionally doze off the sun was clearly brighter than the odd gloominess that greets you when you wake. You know that feeling when you’re surprised to see yourself in a passing reflection? You’re surprise to see yourself because you’ve been rushing around all day and haven’t had the chance to see yourself for a while. You know that feeling when you’re so tired that you are sure you pass the point of appropriate sanity, but for some reason your body still is functioning. Okay, well maybe you don’t know these feelings, but I do. These very odd moments that questions my reality. It’s so many of these little moments that add up and put my mind into a skewed perspective. For a very brief moment, my most dreaded sickness optimizes on these moments to suck me back into a world that is filled with obsessions that is always planted on the extreme sides of its continuum.

The One Where There’s Never Enough Time

We hear it all the time: “Time is of the essence,” “time is money,” “there’s never enough … time.” There are time management seminars and oh so many ways to manage our time better. When I want the best of both worlds, what do I do when it only gets busier and busier? I’m still waiting to see where this life takes me when I have the very consistent habit of scheduling 32 hours of work in a 24 hour day which translate into less sleep, less eating, and more stressing. There is positive stress that motivates you to do more and there negative stress that impedes you from moving foward. With not enough time for everything, this blog entry will be to be continued…

Time is a very precious commodity for me and hence the skill to prioritize is essential to the commitments I have. I like to think that I am slowly but surely doing great things with my time, but I don’t know for sure.
