What do you wish you could do more every day?
Ambitious and hardworking people always wish that they could accomplish more than what they have already done every day. It is a common feeling for those that have set high goals for themselves.
We want to read few chapters of a book everyday, we want to finish our projects on time, we have scheduled exercise, there are children to take care of, work demands are taking toils on us, our friends expects us on their functions, societies we are affiliated to need our attention, our significant others want our time …..and the list goes on.
It is common to feel overwhelmed with events and if not well checked , it can cause you stress because most often you find yourself accomplishing half or less of your to-do-list.
When taking account of your day you realize you have not accomplished this or that, you know procrastination is bad, but nevertheless you have postponed sending an assignment, you have skipped your reading schedule or your exercise. It feels bad,right? Sometimes it develops feeling of hopelessness in us which is a sign we are fatigued and doing too much.
Having too much to do makes our schedule be full of activities and denying us opportunity for self reflection and fun.We skip for many days the opportunity for meditation and eventually self awareness. It causes us to neglect our friends and loved ones and may also hamper our creativity because of having a crowded mind.
Having too much to accomplish per day will cause you lack clarity of though and reduce efficiency in executing your important functions. As a coping mechanism, most of us will be glued to their phone and keep scrolling aimlessly and we may find ourself spending many hours on social media as a way of running away from soo much demand on ourselves, eventually wasting most of our time.
