Alright, this warrior is back and she has an urgent and important mission to complete I have 3-4 hours to finish reading a book. I know I can do this. It's just that I am extremely sleepy and need to shower first. But I cannot afford to sleep because I need to meet this deadline... and why didn't I sleep before? Because I got busy with something else which I want to journal about but I don't have time Gah, I feel like I am blabbering! Shush. Ok. Stop. And start. Bismillah!
I am done! I did it! Alhamdulillah BUT I am not fully done… I need to make some notes and prepare for a class. I got this inshallah!
I so want to sleep but I cannot for another two hours It’s just two hours… I can make it through right? Inshallah
I DID IT. The book. The class. The prep. That’s the first victory, after returning, alhamdulillah! Mission accomplished!
I have zero mental energy Been awake since 24 hours now Cant journal cos even if I want to, brain’s a mush Want to get up and help with housework but so sleepy Want to take a nap but I am sure it will wont be a short one and will steal the opportunity to help with housework And helping with housework is a priority goal Ya Rabb :/
Wallahi, my only mission right now seems to be to not fall asleep I did take a 1.15 hr nap and woke up Now, I am trying to not fall asleep otherwise I will miss going out which I do not want to Oh slewp wleep
Hahaha omg I was soooooo sleepy and I fell asleep right after this post BUT I did not miss out on going out So… that’s victory 2, Alhamdulillah Slowly starting to get back in work mode bi’ithnillah! Could feel the motivation building up today and my brain gearing up. As for this thread, certainly going to use it frequently till Eid because I do want to get stuff done till then but also not in an overwhelming way. Just selected things so it wont exactly be a list of non-negotiables that I will be following but rather short missions inshallah because I want to complete and actually finish the stuff that I am close to finishing. Other stuff includes day to day things/duties like the projects going on or Quran time but no need to put that here because thats every day stuff that will go on for a loooong time inshallah Stuff that can missionized (is that even a word?) and that I can push myself to finish within 1-2 weeks includes… 1- Course A 2- Course M 3- Course T (not exactly finish it because it’s ongoing but catch up with it) 4- Course S 5- Course V (Will update list as I think of more…) My second semester of uni course has started and I am already 3 weeks behind in it but I am not going to start it until after Eid. I know it will be too much to handle for now and I want Ramadan to recharge me, not drain me. I also want to focus on planning the next few months during this last bit of Ramadan. Okay, I feel more clarity. Now, please sleep brain.
Only got project work done today I didn’t get many tasks done in that area because they were all time consuming tasks. Alhamdulillah happy about the progress but just a tad bit worried about the lag Here’s what I need to do after my nap inshallah… Project tasks 1- REC 2- WM 3- RG MSG Other stuff: Decision regarding H Order a book Start course A Start course T I am feeling blank. I know there’s more stuff
I may have wasted the past hour or so in doing something extremely unproductive But enough. No more of that. Time is precious and I cannot waste away my life in wishful thinking. Also feeling lazy but no. I have a good couple of hours to get work done and then I can take a nap later on. First task: Get up and make a solid cup of coffee. Recharge myself physically and spiritually and then get on to the pending tasks
Yo, it took me 1.5 hours to complete some project tasks that seemed so simple and not so time consuming But at least I am done with them alhamdulillah! Project tasks: Done REC WM RG MSG Honestly, I have noticed that the challenge is to quickly start doing stuff in the moments when I feel lazy or sleepy even though I know that I did get enough sleep. Once you start, you get in work mode alhamdulillah. And the sweet feeling of having done something productive and that sense of accomplishment totally boosts your energy. Also, remember Zee, you can either indulge your brain in fantasies/wishful thinking and feel a temporary pleasure out of it that actually leaves you feeling more down later on OR you could engage your brain in productive intellectually stimulating work that brings this sweet long lasting pleasure. Of courseeeeeeeeee easier said than done hehe
I have 1.5 hours to… Get some reading done inshallah Do some course T homework Clean up my room a bit No homework time. Going out now for a class. Hopefully, things go smooth inshallah.
And, alhamdulillah things went really smooth Enjoyed the drive, the morning, the weather and the class Right now though? I am procrastinating BIG TIME
