Ready, set, organize!
So far, my overhaul of general organization and motivation has been successful. With a bit of will power, I've managed to keep ontop of things so far, in regards to the usual juggling of 2 jobs, university and living. Despite this being a simple and personal task, I've seeked some advice from a source I recommend (and have recommended to some of my fellow LJers).
Zen Habits is a great blog to read to get things back on track, and to think about all the aspect of life and living. It really reminds me we all have control over what we do and think. Sure, its all simple, logical stuff, but its what some people lack these days - common sense and control. This particular entry, Top 20 Motivation Hacks is what has helped me the past few weeks - have a read!
I must admit though, having such a shitty semester before has also motivated me, though I doubt it's going to help my course average very much. But keeping organized is sure making me feel better mentally (though if you ask Moist, I still get stressed and cranky from time to time - something I NEED to work on, instead of blaming my genes all the time).
Now its a matter of keeping up with this, as well maintaining a balance and not getting too obsessed with organizing....
Lately, everyone seems to be mentioning or asking what I am going to do after this degree. Trouble is, I have no freakin' idea, apart from my incessant desire to travel overseas. I don't have a huge problem with no direct plan - life should be random, you should go with feeling- but everyone else may and does - especially that ever so cheerful father of mine. Sure, Stalin's 5 year plan worked brilliantly - very productive. But I am not into plans, and I don't intend to revolutionise my life. I don't want to get stuck in a office-like/high-rise job for years, make the marry-buy house-have kids path, or just be left in the same place. I just hope Oliver and everyone else around me, considering I go through with this no future plan-plan, accepts it.
Isn't life just so tasty.
