Playing Catch-up

Everything is a trade-off. You sacrifice one thing to have another. What’s great, though maybe not outright apparent, is that your decision in the trade-off analysis indicates where your priorities truly are.

I challenge you to take a step back and truly ask yourself: Did you enjoy the last few days? Whatever your activities may have been, did you feel good about the time you spent?

If you did, then Great! I’m happy for you and am glad that you’re glad. 😃 If No, then perhaps it’s time to reflect on what you’re using your time on (e.g., doom scrolling, re-watching a series you’ve seen multiple times, etc.) and ask yourself if you can trade some of that time for another activity.

For me personally, I have not done enough for school. School is an important part of my life at this time and I have not been allocating sufficient time to it. Instead, I have watched some shows (Suits 😅) while I could have been studying or doing homework. I don’t want to NOT watch the show, but I know that I can watch one episode instead of two, and so on.

It hasn’t all been bad though. I’ve used some time to hang out with people, play some guitar, get some new photos and edit. We should look for a balance, but ensure that our priorities are organized.

Since I am behind, I will be playing catch-up but that doesn’t mean I will be abandoning some fun activities altogether.
