I don’t really remember when was the last time I reached home from work while the Sun was still shining. And fortunately, it was today, the 30th of April 2008 that I was home without switching on the headlights of my motorbike.
Also, I just realized that if I don’t put up a posting today, it would be the first month without a post, since I started blogging. Definitely not something I even dreamed of. So this is one of those obligatory posts.
Let me carry on from where I left:
Again, for the last 2-3 weeks, I’ve spent a lot of hours at work. More often or not, the work flowed down to my home too. The end result is still not visible to me. Something was terribly wrong. I was spending time, but not getting enough out of it. I know it happens sometimes, but this time, it was a long stretch. Though there was a lot of work pending, I decided to pull myself out of this by deciding to take the last weekend completely off the work. I deliberately decided to not even think about it. And this did wonders to the way I was perceiving things at my end. The last three days have been more productive than the last two weeks I suppose! Also, now I can easily realize what went wrong. Instead of focusing on the current task at hand, I was overwhelmed by the sea of things I had to accomplish. It was partly because of the fact that the situation didn’t allow me to overlook certain things which I should have. The bottom line is that one can only do a limited amount of work in a given time, so it will always make sense to focus on the current task at hand. However, it is also important to have a planning and visibility towards what’s coming next.
Lastly, I think I’ve been in and out of such situations quite a few times. Whatever I try out, such situations are inevitable once in a while. So next time I am caught in such a situation, I’ll take that ‘Obligatory Break!’ which would hopefully help me to get back on track both physically and mentally
