What kind of day has it been

I didn't get shot, okay (for those who understand the reference with the title of the post).

But yeah, I might as well get shot with the day I've had. I didn't even realize lunch went by without me eating. Or that I was running like mad around the office, voice twice as loud. Sounds like my typical day, except for the fact that I'd rate my productivity at an appalling 2.0/10.0 (read: lots of work, hardly any new insights made).

On the other hand, beyond office life seems great. Making good progress on the weight loss. I've begun to make headways into a new book now ('The End of Poverty' - Jeffrey Sachs). I've found more time (which I thought was impossible).


Piece of advice to those who are looking for more time, or who feel they dont use their time as well as they want -- think "FULL ON." Whenever you do something, or give it more than 5 minutes of your time, try to be in a "FULL ON" mode; be engaged and enthusiastic about what you're doing at
that point in time. Devote your attention to it 100%. A big reason why we feel we 'waste time' is because we feel we rather want to be doing something else at that point in time. And we concentrate on hating what we're currently doing, that it makes us even feel worse. Well, next time that happens, just do the opposite. Instead of doing that 'thing' half-hearted (yet still doing it), do it FULL ON! You have nothing to lose - you're gonna do it anyway (because it's required for class, or for work, or for family, or etc.), might as well be FULL ON while doing it. It doesn't change the amount of time you do it; but it really changes the way you feel about yourself before, during, and after you do it.

And of course, my special day of jubillee is coming soon.
