My time is precious, yet it seems that I find myself at this stage, unable to finish a chore or get things done. Do you have those moments too?
Well, I am not in a position to discuss these matters elaborately but I speak from my own experience. It seems to me that my productivity (I chose to call it that way) is highly affected by each cycle…Now, ladies, you will now have a clue on what I am trying to say.
I sat here in front of my computer, for 1.5 hours now because, I cannot bear sitting somewhere else in the house with too many things to do. The jobs around seemed to be in the high priority list of doing and I can’t handle it so I escape. Thinking that writing will be my escape, yet, been here for 2 hours in the keyboard, and couldn’t start a thing. Up until now.
So I stood up, grab a book to have a browse and there! a title says ” If your Efforts Are Blocked (Chapter 16, Women & Anxiety by Helen DeRosis, M.D.) “. So here I am. Let me quote the first few lines written in this beautiful book.
” Real Efforts cannot be blocked unless your motivation is. And if you read “blocked” as conflicted, you can understand what it really means. You are blocked when you are not clear about your priority at any given moment. Remember–simply stated, a conflict is a condition of wanting and not wanting simultaneously. Keeping that point in mind can allow you to select what comes first, right now. When you can chose only one
course to pursue in any one time unit, then you can begin to make practical plans followed by reasonable actions.”
So there you go, ladies, whenever a moment like this comes in for some reason…(I call it, Those Days..) just focus on one thing, and hope for the best, that it all fall into place at some stage, and by then, you find yourself working on something e.g. chores, studies, writing. Speaking of which, I must go. Have to wash breakfast dishes, clean the car, organise tonight’s dinner and do my assignments and pick up my contact lens from the optomitrist.
I blocked no more, just have to start one course first, oh maybe have to snack before dishess….Grrrrrr!
