Learn: Don't Be Too Preoccupied For Responsibilities

What did I learn today?

When my brain is preoccupied with things, I become forgetful. This results in consequences. Thus, I may remember that there is a time to ponder on life’s responsibilities, school, work, relationships and etc.

Example A) My phone went through the wash. Why? Because I was in a rush to put my clothes in the wash and get back to my thesis as soon as possible.

Example B) I overcooked my broccoli. Why? Because I was sitting at the kitchen table wondering how I was going to pay rent and buy groceries all in the same week.

Example C) I missed a work meeting on Friday. Why? Because I wanted to get home as soon as I can to call a friend who was having a life crisis.

…and I can go on. Yes, I can be careless sometimes. But when I came into the office this morning and realized that I missed the important meeting on Friday, I knew that there is a limit. Enough is enough. I need to calm the heck down and think about one thing at a time. It will get done. It will get paid. It will get resolved.

That’s what I learned today.
