I have not been updating for a while, there’s too much going on with my health, my lurvelife, my finances and my work that I just can’t take even a 5minute breather. There’s a lot of stuff to do at work, but always – always – each day seems to be insufficient to address all the demands from work, and from life in general.

And yes, most people complain about not having a day longer than 24hrs. If you could just imagine a world where sleeping is not needed, and procrastination has never existed, then it would be a very productive and effective world. But oh well — that one has not existed since time immemorial LOL so we have to — yeah — just deal with it.

Anyhoo, the idea came to me when an officemate arrived in the office 2hrs early for her shift. I asked why she’s early and she replied with “Daming trabaho eh”.

I dunno. Last month I had a morale reducer when I computed my hourly rate — because I’ve read from soewhere that computing for your hourly rate would help to give you a new (hopefully better) perspective. Unfortunately, the figure wasn’t favorable. But it gave me a new light — do not work overtime. I know that’s lame because people who want to make a good name in their respective careers work hard as they can, as long as they can. They do this every day, in and out the office hours. That’s just too tiresome — just the thought of it stresses the hell out of me. 

And then I had this realization — why not be productive without really killing yourself in the process? Why not appreciate every hour, make sure you make the most of it, you finish your deliverables and you address demands using only the paid hours of your life? Then overtime wouldn’t be necessary, right? You don’t need to stay in the office for 15 friggin hours a day just to get tired by then end of it, yet producing less than you should have?

Mkay, I think I have to try that. And if it works, I would have to stick to it.

So there, I’m gonna go back to work and kick ass! 

Until next post. = )
