Have you ever felt that you are running out of time? That you are wasting so much of time, your youth, and opportunity to enhance yourself for the better? WELL, SO AM I. This is the reason I listed practical tasks that I should do everyday in order for my brain to keep on running.
Here is my list:
- Listen to Fr. Dave Concepcion Homily or Bro. Bo Sanchez Full tank series.
- Spend time reading or listening to the free book featured on Blinklist app
- Reading at least 10 pages per day
- Exercising with a minimum of 20 mins and max of 1hour
- Learning Python with Mosh
- Selling candies
Aside from the daily task listed above, I also have a promise to make time to my writing twice a week. This is my way of proving to myself that even if I am not currently in the roll of earning big money, I am still capable of learning. Perhaps I started it out of boredom but mostly what really drives me to live by this set of tasks is to allow myself be more competitive while I have the time. Who knows, I may not have the gift of tomorrow, at least I have my writing that people can read and get inspiration from. Also, what if I got my luck and got accepted to Singapore to work, when can I have the time again to make this happen? It's a list of tasks that will help me in the future.
Becoming physically fit, having a devotion time to God, strengthening my relationship with my sister and family, and reading plus studying what I wanted are the luxuries I cannot afford everyday because of work that I had before. Luckily when I stop working in the corporate work, I get to do these things. This lead me to the conclusion that maybe me getting off the road from the corporate work because my contract in my previous company ended is a way for me to start doing what I really wanted to do and explore options that I did not have the luxury to have before. I am grateful that I have the time now and realize that my gift in writing is still in me even if I abandoned it as soon as I got my first job in 2017. Not that I will make this my monetary resource but as a hobby that really showcase my creativity. Yup, I said it... please don't accuse me for being boastful haha!
Now that I already get use to this daily tasks, there is just one problem. The more that I do it, the more I feel that the balance of doing them should still be there. I mean, it's a daily task but I cannot complete all of them in one day.
Example, when I am exercising for 20mins to 1 hour, then do selling candies, that means I will be tired enough to do the other tasks such as studying Python with Mosh and listening to the featured read on the Blinklist app. I'm all right with that but as time goes by, I feel a little guilty that I cannot complete the tasks on a whole day. Is it because I am emotionally involve on the tasks? Or because I felt that maybe I am not really competent so instead of finishing all of it, I rest instead? But what happens to be inspired of doing it if I strained myself and not rest? T-T
Finally, I came to a conclusion that I should have a rest day from these tasks as well. Like an allowance to feel that this list of tasks is not my life but only the 'to dos' habit I should stick on to make me a disciplined person that I would thank my future self for.
Key point in here is that, don't be guilty if ever you found yourself in hesitancy towards what you are doing. Just remember why you started it, and the long-term goal behind it so as to fuel yourself with perseverance to keep on going.
