Time Management

Seriously? Is it already 3am? For the first time in a long time, I didn't do anything at all in a single day. I know midterms are coming up, not to mention presentations, but studies today was overrun by my will to fall asleep. Even whilst writing this entry, I listen to music, check facebook, twitter and kotaku to keep up to date with the world. My studies are getting pushed back more and more, my workout regimen is suffering and life is stressing me out!! In an attempt at organization, I want to create a schedule for myself to follow and incorporate all aspects of my life into it: sleep, meals, classes, meetings, study-sessions, and etc.

Life is about contradictions. I say I want to create a schedule for myself, when I'm already (trying my best to) handling the ROAR calendar!! Events pop up left and right, and I try to keep track of them, for ROAR. Work is only simple in a couple ways, one of them being: do this at this time, or you're gonna get in trouble. My life, however, isn't all about work. Sometimes I want to slack off; sometimes I want to take a break and play video games. Breaks are just impossible to plan, as they are just too spontaneously taken.

Linkin Park, one of my favorite bands of all time, constantly sings about the end, the result, the finale. I think the reason I like them is that they seem very big-picture oriented. They sing about the future and they look towards it. By that thinking, I now understand why I can't keep a set schedule for myself: I look with the majority of my time toward the future, and do not concentrate on the present.

Going off on a tangent, the present is something I am completely unaware of and I need to work on. Add 'keeping up with world and local news' to my schedule, and make it even more hectic. Constantly, were volunteering to help support shared ideas and beliefs of peoples that are extremely noteworthy in our community, and it's embarrassing to not know about all the issues that are brought up.

Google Calendar, you're going to become my best friend this year. You sync with my iPhone too, so you're mobile ready aren't you? God bless you. Hopefully when I get my schedule finally set up, I can take a snapshot and share it on my blog. Because as of right now, it looks crazy.
