Alright. It's the start of yet another quarter. 15 semesters and 20 quarters down, 12 quarters to go.
As usual, I tell myself that this time I really will stick to a plan of NOT doing too much and NOT getting too busy. Most likely I'll get way too overwhelmed about midway through the quarter, having gotten behind in my classes because of procrastinating and committing to too many things. Nevertheless, I'm trying to practice being more mindful about what is importantt and letting go of what isn't. I really do want to slow down and value what I am doing more even as I avoid filling my schedule with activities that do little but artificially and temporarily inflate my sense of self.
So here's a simple question: how do you know when you're too busy?
And another: how do you know what is important and what is not?
Discuss amongst yourselves.
