I think, dividing life into 2 semesters will reduce the fear of not doing something.
Or 3 maybe.
Hiii.. Hope you’re feeling good today.
Today’s story is about considering the semester method to achieve at least one goal this month.
I have this tension-like guilt when doing nothing, oh how pathetic I am. I still remember vividly how my 2022 rock my ideal ways to be productive. That was the moment where everything was only about how to do more and more day by day, then left me feeling guilty when I didn’t do anything. Like, how pathetic it was. In 2025, I’m hoping I can apply a better method or at least a better point of view to approach this ambitious world.
And, to see my life the way school approaches the academic year is truly inspiring, I thought. But then, in work life, I don’t think that I can implement my academic year routine into my work life, because it’s nearly impossible to keep up with all the expectations, not only by myself but also the expectations from society. Now, I’m entering my 4th year of work, and this roller coaster of work has shaped me into a person with high FOMO and the guilt of not doing anything.
That couldn’t be worse with the economic situation.
Ah, don’t you remember that golden interview question, “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” It might seem blurry if we keep things only in our heads. So we need to bring all those goals closer, feel them near to our heart and it gives us more precious time to get the goals. So, ya, turn it into a roadmap, right? Yet, it’s still overwhelming and how should we execute it? It’s common to see people only have motivation during the early days and lose the moment.
Then, why should you try to divide your life into semesters, like in schools?
Tracking your life is important giving you space to think about how to develop more or how to improve more. But, without a certain time frame, I think it would be hard. So, the “the semester” step gives you some space to elaborate, to evaluate, and even to re-think again the goals you make. As a teacher myself, the thought of planning daily and evaluating daily helps me to brainstorm more on the better ways to deliver my material. It drained me actually, and since when does life don’t draining us? hehehe :D.
I know, I know, that’s demanding, right? How many hours should we spend to do that? As many as you can, and even if it makes you feel tired just remember that good days are made from a real struggle.
Okay, I think, that’s it. I’m out of my word because I’m still figuring out the best way to execute this, huft, oh life.
That’s it. Thank you for reading.
