How does Barbelith manage time? Specifically post (or pre) work time, tied in with projects and so forth? Obviously, in work time, you're on here...
I was having a discussion with a visiting trans-Atlantic Bareloid yesterday, and ze stated some of the similar dilemma as myself - that is, having so many little projects and stuff that one wants to work on that you feel like you get none of them done. The worse thing is when one is attached to them all at the same time and so can't let them go...
I think this is most true for those of you who're artistic. But it also counts for TeH maJickz, or any other area where one is seeking proficency. Projects have a way of spawning side projects and other interests... take martial arts for example. I decide I'm not good enough I also become conscious that my cardio is not what it could be so I improve that. I'm then made aware that my strength isn't what it could be, so I hit the gym, "yeah but I'm not doing enough sparring, maybe I should do another art" - Where does it end? (This is hypothetical btw, more my thought processes than what I've actually done, I'm not the highly trained killing machine I'd like to be).
So - do people have any strategies for managing this. Perhaps "watch more telly and relax" would be a good one? The only solution I've come up with so far is "you can have anything, but you can't have everything" i.e. remember that you can acheive a lot in any one field if you focus, let tthe other stuff go, and prioritise with whats most important to you. It's just not as satisfying as being a renaissance man style polymath but there you go.
Any thoughts |
