It's So Easy But So Hard

In an effort to be ruthlessly efficient (in most areas that I deem important), the detail- and formula-oriented side of my mind makes me paralyzed. There are times when I can’t do the next thing on the list, even though the current task at hand is just seemingly impossible. Like freaking finishing this post.

Heck, I spent 20 minutes figuring out how to properly capitalize titles, and since it seems to be largely a style-issue, I’m at a loss. There is no formula here. I guess I am left to create my own.

And then there’s the over-analytical part of me. I must figure out the reasons as to why everything must matter to everything. It’s this holistic view on life that continues to bemuse bystanders who have come and gone. It also addles my mind, and additionally encourage the “meta” mentality that I have towards life.

So what’s the point of this post? Heh. I guess I do end up asking what the point is to a lot of things. I ignore the journey, even though I keep telling people that’s the most important part.

Yes, it’s late. And I’m trying to keep up the blogging. It’s been quite quiet here. That needs to stop.

Oh, and on a related “paralysis” note, they think I have Juvenile Arthritis. Awesome.

What’s On The Menu This Week?

Well, looks like I’ll be having another four day weekend, but this time, I won’t be moving too many boxes around. I’m still trying to figure out what the best way of tracking my ideas is going to be… paper seems likely, since my forearms are not liking me these days.

I also have a feeling I’m going to have a meeting in my head about where this blog is headed. There’s definitely going to be another “blog about blog” post.

Ah, goals. Some people have problems coming up with them. I seem to have a problem with keeping them off the list. I need to start being a bit more artistic. When’s a guitar, when I need it? Or drums. Delicious drums…

Zone?

I’m up customizing a Educational CMS (moodle) for College of Education. Dang, it feels good.

I haven’t been up this late for quite some time. I’ve forgotten how much I enjoy being in the zone like this.

32 oz of Dew and some snacks (this time, Sun Chips) 4 hours ago, I feel completely wiped. Too bad I have my admissions interview for the MBA program at UIUC at 10:15.

I really wanted to write a proposal for how I was going to spend this week today, but I ran out of time.

This past week had a lot of inefficiencies. I napped excessively… I mean, I don’t think I’ve ever napped this much in a week in my entire life (including when I was an infant… I’m told I didn’t nap very much back then… maybe it’s catching up to me…).

And then… about cooking. I’m going to give up on getting better in this area. It’s not worth the time right now… I do, however, like figuring out efficient ways of saving time and money and effort in providing sustenance for myself. I just need to make sure that my desire to improve this skill is kept in check.

I think that’s all I’ve got left in me today.
