Today was smooth sailing for me @ work. Although I was not able to do my morning routine before going to work, I was pretty productive.
What morning routine?
So before going to work, I usually pass by the city library for (1) empty my bladder and (2) some reading. Currently, I'm reading a travel book Great Southern Land. It's a documentary by ABC that was turned into a book. It covers the things how Australia works starting from a bird's eye view. This is a book that really caught my interest. It's not something that I read in a blog post listing "must read books before you die". It's a book filled with breathtaking views of the Australian landscape. There are a lot of interesting features of the land that you might not see when travelling on land. This is not a travel book so the good, the bad, and the ugly is in here too.
This morning was a bit different because there were delays in the morning train. There was a car and train collision in one of the level crossings which caused a 20-minute delay across the train line. Good thing we we're early enough to catch the round trip train and we were able to have a seat through the whole ride.
It's the end of the work day and I'm getting ready to leave the office. When I get home, I plan to have lots of energy still. This will be spent on jogging three rounds around my block. I also set a goal where I will do the budget diligently for this year. I did well on January but I am falling back this month of Feb. I plan to change that and work on my backlog tonight. To be honest, I think I overbooked myself this month that's why I am lagging behind my set goals as of this week. One more thing I have to do tonight, I want to change the bed sheets. It's almost the end of summer here in Australia and the nights are getting back its familiar chill. Plus, the bed is getting itchy as well.
I ultimately stopped playing the piano this month. That's one of the goals that I failed completely. Will I go back to it? I have to. There's a few more things that's playing on my mind:
- There's the react meetup I signed up to attend this Thursday which coincides with a possible Ramen fest with my buddy.
- Ramen session with Kai -- this is long overdue already. Our schedules won't meet.
- I am looking for a new source of income. So, there's my job, dude's job, I want to add one more. I have a few ideas but haven't acted on it yet. I plan to turn them into an experiment and pick the one that is the most efficient.
- Yoga practice also suffered.
To this date, I learned that I should not spread myself to thin and focus on a few things, if not only one!
