Knowing the Important Stuff

Life is interesting and full of things that we can do. So the question is that how can we stay focus on the important stuff in the midst of all the excitements that come and go?

Like today in the office it was full of discussion and interesting ideas to the point that it is hard to digest. It shows the importance of being still and digest all those things. That is not easy to do. Because once we have the momentum, we want to keep going and going.

Also, it tends to displace the more important thing that we want to do. For example, this evening I want to continue editing the draft of the paper. But it is very difficult to start. So it is a good thing to have the commitment to write even for 5 minutes. This is because sometimes this can help us to pause a while so that we can detach from the tendency of doing what we are in and then shift to the one that we plan to do.

Another part is to also know when to stop and rest. Because even when we know what are the important stuff to do, rest is also important. So remember that, and when we feel tired or our brain is overloaded, rest and then continue again tomorrow.
