I love the term. I first heard of it through Ate Ekkay's blog, and I identified with it immediately. Hahaha.
I should have finished my Communication 130 synthesis paper and my research for my Journalism 102 and 111 classes this morning. Instead, I finished the first act of Age of Empires 3 and watched Futureweapons on the Discovery Channel.
Given my current tendency to lapse into extreme procrastination, it's a wonder how I got things done in the past weeks.
It's been paper after paper after paper. I've gone to the Jaime V. Ongpin Awards for Excellence in Journalism. I've done one interview and given one other. I wrote a personality profile. I did well in Adobe Photoshop.
It's been problem after problem at the org. Teng is in the hospital. Ritz has an ulcer. All projects have been delayed for a week. Money, as always, is in short supply. And don't get me started on those damned mosquitoes!
So much for that. It really helps to put things in writing. Sometimes, when you least expect it, you get jolted back to reality.
Aside from a tendency to procrastinate, I am also dangerously prone to blowing things out of proportion. Indeed, for the past few days I've been so stressed - not because of all the things I have to do, but because of the way I saw the things I had to do.
I miss blogging. This is my first blog post in two weeks; the paper and blogthings don't count. When writing, I restore my mindset to one more grounded in reality.
Stupid me. I have done so much. I had so much time. I have even more time. I can do so much more. Problems are only problems when you do not adapt to them. Properly dealt with, they become opportunities.
Procrastination and slacking-off only serve to exacerbate the stress when left to run wild. Multi-slacking can become a part of multi-tasking with proper control. I can still beat the Brotherhood of Nod or the Nazis into submission AFTER I finish my assignments. I can relax in front of the television AFTER finishing my work for the day.
I can do many more things, things I WANT to do, with proper time management.
I can deal with any problems that come my way, those little itsy-bitsy things, by not blowing them out of proportion.
Of course, there are those things which have to be dealt with in a more direct and forceful manner.
There. Back in the groove. While writing this post, I've also finished three-fourths of my synthesis paper. Now THAT is multi-tasking. I have regained the initiative. I will not let it slip away again.
I have to go now. I have to cover the Gawad Plaridel awarding ceremony later. I love my life.
Oh, by the way, my Journalism 101 grade was FINALLY released. That 1.5 puts my GWA for last semester at 1.58. I REALLY love my life!
