Yesterday and today I managed to get several things done again. It is something to celebrate as I keep progressing. At the same time, I can feel the challenge of being too busy. It is not easy to keep things in balanced manner. It seems that now I want to get things done many things that I either feel too busy to rest or to help others and at the end I become exhausted and guilty.
This morning I helped my wife for just 15 mins in her school. But yesterday I was somehow rejecting her request at first simply because I want to be on time to work. The question is that there were many times in the past where I came a bit later just because I struggled to get up immediately. So it is a bit ironic. Another is today about my business trip. Somehow I become feel so responsible that I was thinking it is a must to go on end of January/early Feb where things are actually busy for me and my wife as we prepare to move.
One thing to be thankful of is that I experience this struggle early. Earlier this year, I was positive for quite long before I felt this. By the time I felt, it was too much unnecessary commitment. As for now, at least the one that keeps me busy are those that are part of my job scope, not something extra just because of my excitement something. Here and there it popped up in my mind to do unnecessary things such as signing up into a course in office that is not directly related to my job, or to propose my team to go to team building this quarter.
So at least now I realize that even when I haven’t taken up new commitments and I am very positive, things are already tough and require a lot of practice to learn to prioritize things. Also, it is important to use pomodoro, not just to hang on in certain task, but also to limit the time on doing something.
